Rock Cornish game hens with baked potatoes, broccoli, carrots and Caesar salad- and a fine Merlot to go with on Sat. evening Christmas Eve. Sunday, with all the gals and grand-kids here for the day, Roast saddle of venison (a deer I harvested with son-in-law Geoffrey), mashed potatoes sans garlic, rolls, cornbread stuffing, Waldorf salad, Lambrusco and or Zinfandel for the adults, milk for the grandkids- later, Folgers coffee and Dutch apple pie with Kool-Whip and or cheese, your choice..
Sounds like a good meal. How do you do the venison saddle?
My mothers side of the family is Italian so on Christmas Eve we always have sauce,homemade pasta/ravioli,meatballs/sausage. We also have baccala (cod) and probably ham. For Christmas we have prime rib and more sauce and mannicotti plus many side dishes. A good wine is a must on both days.
