Just the two of us

Roast beef
Twice baked potatoes
Spinach. ( I know, but we like spinach)
Not sure about dessert.

Things change
We are going to our son's at 1:00 pm. Presents will be exchanged in his garage. All fully masked.

Then Bon and I will go home and do this:

Boiled shrimp with horseradish sauce
Tossed salad
Twice baked potatoes
Creamed corn
Lemon pie

Ya my wife changed ours up too, she’s fine with the steak, but thought we should have some veggies and desert instead of KnobCreek

You gotta love living rural sometimes

We were rather surprised last night to learn that Far North Idaho has so many Italians living up here LMAO

Shan and I met after she got off work to finish up shopping for Christmas dinner

Not one tub of Ricotta cheese in all of Sandpoint all 4 Grocery stores including Walmart were out..
We got back home and I called up to Bonner's Ferry, one was out the other had 2 tubs left so at 9pm in the snow there I was driving north to pick up Ricotta..

I hear we are having Lasagna for a main dish also!

Well, I cooked my son's ducks. If he brings home some more, I might try to tenderize it in a recipe for the new crock pot Santa brought us.The meat was rich and flavorful, if pretty tough, and a few over-cooked parts did have the liver taste of over-cooked duck. But good overall with the raspberry sauce; the dogs enjoyed the leftover fat in their kibble.

Before, on the "Chaotic" pattern cutting board my woodworking buddy makes (also from Santa this year):

Plated on our old chipped china with the raspberry sauce lol. We didn't drag out the fancy stuff this year:

Pretty basic sides, though my wife did make a nice Christmassy mousse and pumpkin pie for desert, and pre-made our favorite sausage/egg/hash-brown/cheese breakfast casserole for tomorrow. Not to mention I'm eating all the Chex mix I can't deliver because we're in quarantine. Time to put on the stretchy pants, boys!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all, regardless of how you celebrate the season in this strangest of all seasons!

I snacked so much before dinner there barely was room left.
