Christmas Dinner, part two

I have to say, I am really proud of our Pâté. It was a lot of work, but boy, was it good.



Trouta and Quinn were the first to arrive. Let the party begin!


Of course, we put Trouta to work. Quinn also helped with numerous tasks around the kitchen.


The goose is about half done at this point.


More Pâté pics. I cannot resist.


Mushrooms


The stuffing, cooked.


That Ham!


and Mushroom soup


Here is the layout. Peas and Mushrooms, Mashed Potatoes, Red Cabbage, Ham, Goose, Gravy, Stuffing, and just off camera, rolls.


Another shot of the food.


Our friend Eddie always makes Doreen's favorite birthday cake. Italian Cream!


We all ate a lot.


And talked a lot.


Even the baby.


Just about ready to clean up


Then, the next day (today, that is) we make stock and goose gumbo.


A great holiday.
