The Chef's Comments: "Well, once again I am having my family over for Christmas Eve, and my in-laws over later on for dessert. Unlike last year, though, I put off planning the darn thing until yesterday ;) Here's the menu I'm hoping to make, followed by any recipes I haven't posted here before (if anyone wants any of the other ones, let me know and I'll post them, too)." - Lisa
