I suppose we are great with indian because my brother is indian, and he always gives us tips on shit. Which rocks.

And I made the damm dessert.. hahaha. But those peaches were yummmmmmy. :P

And yeah Haunted.. Just reading what you wrote was making me hungry.. So damm you. haha

Seafood rice salad, ''Creole'' steak strips with Crawfish etouffee and Cheesecake for dessert.

Had a small christmas dinner with my brothers family and im stuffed haha..

My sister-in-law makes a mad potato salad. There was a normal salad and a rice mixture with salmon in it which was real tasty. Cheebs made some garlic and ginger prawns there also. Umm my brother also had some indian food from the night before, I think it was dhal and rice, but good either way.. There was also a massive ham but didn't wanna touch it. Not much of a ham fan.
My neices also made some jelly and fruit cups, and they brought out some choccy cake too which always goes down well.

Too much food, but soooo yummy. I dont think I forgot anything. If I did cheebs can fill it in.

I love gourmet cooking! Always have my eye out for ways to blend my native asian recipes with the more traditional finnish recipes, but it's tricky not so much because of the combination of spices (which are so far apart) than the simple fact that my husband is quite picky when it comes to spice.

My mother-in-law is the overseer in the preparations. I help out in what has become known to me as a traditional finnish christmas meal:
- swede casserole
- potato casserole
- carrot casserole
- liver casserole
- smoked salmon/eel
- salt-cured salmon
- caviar (i think)
- mashed potatoes
- simple salad with olive oil dressing
- christmas cardemum bread

And a ten-kilo ham in the oven the night before. It's real nice to go to sleep and wake up to the smell of ham.

There's a peculiar way of eating the bread, uncommon to most finns. All the juices from the ham is collected into a pot. You take a slice of bread, dunk it in until it has absorbed enough juice, then eat it.

I love-a the cooking at Christmastime. Did a little bit of it, some of the food is still leftover, am going to cook some more today to use up the ingredients before they spoil. I made my special happy bean soup and it seemed to go over well.

I would like a rosewater lassi. I haven't had one in a few years--only have had it three or four times, but my gosh, it's such an unusual drink, it is like sitting in a fragrant garden on a cool night. Oh my gosh, when I think about it it makes me go crazy! Probably better not to drink things like that all the time, though, or it'll become boring. Happy Holidays everyone!

Man, I forgot about pakooras and samosas.

I want to go to India and visit the temple of Kali Ma at Dakinishwar (sp?). I want to get into a cleaner part of the Ganghes and say, "Look! I'm bathing in Lord Shiva's hair!" He'd get a kick out of that.

I also like British pub food if anyone is interested. I had the best meal in Whitby a few years ago. It was some sort of bread covered beef stew dish, with chips covered in vinegar, and a Fosters. Nummy.

..we had an pig steak...here is a picture cause i dont know the english words for all of it...

My folks are all about ham steak. Can't stand the stuff myself. I don't really dig on pork too much.

Slasher, that picture looks like turkey? I hate turkey too. It's supposed to be good with curry (yummy curry), but I've never tried it.

..its a steak made out of a pig...i dont know the english word for it..the meat is light....it looks like turkey....

My family does the same exact meal line-up for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy,bread rolls, homemade bread, sweet potatos, assorted veggies....SO many deserts, banana pudding (my fave), pumkin pie, apple pie, cherry pie, a few different cheesecakes, and pumpkin bread. Probably a few other odds and ends I'm leaving out, but it's an awesome meal.
