Roast Duck

Parker House Rolls
Tiramisu
I'll steam the duck the day before, the put in on the rotisserie. Most of the rest can be done ahead of time, so I won't be spending all day in the kitchen.
What do you have planned?
DH and I have participated in that tradition with friends of ours for the past couple of years.susanr613 said:DS and I are doing the "Jewish Christmas" - movie and Chinese food!
pamperedlinda said:DH is working Christmas this year so DS and I are going to the neighbor's house. Not sure what I'm taking - he said whatever you want to bring is fine....I need to call her for the official plans - LOL
ChefBeckyD said:I don't know.
Unless we can find some other people who have nothing to do for Christmas...then we could have them over! Maybe I should suggest that to DH - that would be fun!
chefann said:DH's family does Christmas Eve. I'm making mashed potatoes and the Cherry Cordial Torte from the holiday cookbook. I have no idea what else we're having.
And we have ZERO plans for Christmas Day. If any other Cheffers want to descend on my house, you're more than welcome to! Just let me know so I can head to the grocery store so that we can cook up a storm as a group.

AnnieBee said:Oops - posting at the same time, Rennae! I figure one of the Canadians would know too!
Here's a picture for anyone who's interested...
rennea said:Yup your right, Canada is steeped in English traditions as well.
BadGirl said:For Christmas Eve with my sisters and brothers-in law, I'm making:
Appetizer: Classic Reuben Brain
Entree: Baked Potato Soup, Spinach Salad, Pork Loin Roast, Mushroom Risotto
Dessert: Caramel Pecan Bread Pudding and a Streusel Apple Cranberry Pie
For Christmas Morning with the visiting step-kids, I'm making:
Mini-Cinnamon Christmas Tree Rolls, Country Breakfast Bake, and we're setting up a make-your-own pancake and waffle bar with bananas, chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries and whipped topping.
For Christmas Night dinner at my nephew's house, I'm making a Coconut Cake.
Notice how almost all of my menu selections are using a Pampered Chef recipe? :chef:

AnnieBee said:And I add to that, what's wrong with English cuisine?!
To make Roast Duck, you will need a whole duck, salt, pepper, and any desired seasonings or herbs. You will also need a roasting pan and a meat thermometer to ensure that the duck is cooked to the proper temperature.
To prepare Au Gratin Potatoes, you will need potatoes, cheese, milk, butter, flour, and seasonings. You will need to peel and slice the potatoes, then layer them with the cheese and sauce mixture before baking in the oven until golden and bubbly.
Yes, the recipe for Garlicky Green Beans with Pine Nuts can be found on the Pampered Chef website or in our holiday recipe booklet. It calls for fresh green beans, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and seasonings, and can be prepared by sautéing the ingredients together in a pan.
Yes, Pampered Chef offers a variety of bread and roll mixes, including Parker House Rolls, that can be purchased and prepared at home. These rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving for Christmas dinner.
To prepare Tiramisu, you will need ladyfingers, coffee, mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, and cocoa powder. The ladyfingers are dipped in the coffee and layered with the cheese mixture before chilling in the refrigerator. It is recommended to make this dessert the day before Christmas dinner to allow the flavors to develop.
