Christmas snacks

busterb · 12-23-2004, 09:52 AM

I live by myself, but like to cook. So today I think I'll try coated Pecans, Almonds & Cashews. Then for X-mas am. fix a dozen Scotch eggs to take to Mikes shop. "the anvil shooter" for fried biscuits & sausage. Most rednecks have no idea about things like that!

But suppose to be around 15 that am. So I might just sleep in.

I just ordered an entire prepared turkey dinner from HEB, including gravy and three sides, for pickup at 3:00 tomorrow (for dinner at around 6:00 that night.) I am absolutely thrilled with the fact that my family has let me get away with this.

Snacks will involve plenty of homemade fudge, too much cheese and crackers, and chip-dip, the dry ingredients for which were purchased from a specialty herb-mixer from somewhere in Maine. I also have a gift tower and a dried fruit tray from Harry and David.

If there's any room left, crabmeat creamcheese wontons lurk in the freezer.

Actual food will be turkey.

I haven't thought about the snacks yet - YIKES! We bought some See's Peanut Brittle at the mall yesterday and there are some christmas M&Ms in the kitchen, so that might be it! It's just two of us, so the less snack items we have around, the better.

Tomorrow dinner - traditional homemade pizza.
Christmas breakfast - traditional trip to the Waffle House
Christmas sometime - we're having ham with Boar's Head Ham Glaze.

I guess the snacks on Christmas day can and better include ham - we'll have enough of it!

My favorite snack are those sausage and chedder balls made with bisquick. Mmmmmm - good stuff.

Think my presentation could use a little work? This crap is more trouble than worth.

My brother-in-law supplied us with venison jerky sticks for snacks last night. Today I chipped away at various chocolate stocking stuffers.

Massive 3variety popcorn tin is just the thing to have next to you when you are playing the new video games you got from Santa. Button mash-Button mash-munch-munch-munch.

Gotta go. Turkey's nearly ready.

This picture made me laugh out loud! My cooking always looks like this - it's the taste that counts, and how much is left on the plate at the end of the meal ....

My dad's a first generation Greek immigrant, and I've spent the past two Christmases with him and his sisters/mom. He cooks a lot (and well), and Yaiyai did when she was younger. My view of 'holiday snacks' is a little <a href="http://www.goholycross.org/festival97/fest_pastries.html">biased</a>: a vat of koulourakia, several trays of baklava, and these cheese (cream & ricotta)-filled baked and sugar-topped pastries that I can't recall, much less spell, the name of.

I've not eaten this unhealthily in, well, a good 12 months.

Pete made these little mice using a marichino cherry with stem dipped in semisweet and melted kisses, with a kiss stuck on for a snout, almond slivers for ears, and beady red eyes from decorating gell. They looked wicked cool except when they're in rows when they looked positively evil and they tasted great. Will look for pic.
