My wife and I was not much in the Holiday spirit this year;
my daughter from a first marriage is lying in the hospital after a bad stroke.
She was a member of our family too. Having our daughter home now and the son
and family close by helped.
Our daughter in law received a 7 pound Honey Baked spiral
cut ham for Christmas from the hospital where she works and said I could fix it
for our Christmas dinner. I would rather have a ham from my butcher but this
was free and turned out pretty good.
My wife had made almond cookies, chocolate chip cookies and
lemon bars. She also baked a Marie Calendar’s berry pie for desserts.
I had some nice shrimp for cocktail along with 3 dipping
sauces. The son and family came down about 2:00 PM and we had the shrimp
cocktail and munched on goodies. I had the ham double wrapped in foil along
with a 1/3 cup of hard cider beer heating up on my Traeger. I had baked a take
& bake garlic loaf for bread and butter. I also ordered an 8 piece broasted
chicken from Sandman’s carry out to have.
My sides were a green bean casserole and skillet corn from
summer corn I had frozen. Our daughter in law brought a Crockpot with hash
brown cheesy potatoes.
I didn’t think it was my best Christmas dinner but all tasted
pretty good. We all got full and I think we will be eating leftover ham for a while!
Later we had desserts and s few
Christmas drinks. My wife had Kahlua and cream. The son and I had a couple of
white Russians; Tito’s vodka, Kahlua and cream.
