Kids don't eat the traditional goose, so we'll switch over to capon this year.
We're usually over 20 people so I made a roast goose and roasted a farmer's market chicken or capon for the kids. This year we won't be enough people to do that, so capon for all it is.
Homemade Gravy is non negotiable.
Don't know about sides, since we used to go all out with a minimum of scalloped potatoes, Brussels sprouts in creamy sauce, rice, rutabaga mash, mashed potatoes, sweet potato mash, roast mushrooms, traditional German kale & red cabbage.. ..
I think I'll start freezing mini portions of the sides that are better reheated (red cabbage, kale, rutabaga, creamy B sprouts) ... Then decide on two starchy sides. Kids want plain white basmati, DH doesn't like sweet potato mash.. M so a toss up between scalloped potatoes and mashed potatoes, I guess..
Dessert: minimum 5 varieties of homemade cookies..". vanillekipferl "and "klosterkipferl" Are the most important ones in that category.. My very very very skinny son can't control himself. I have to lock them away or he'd just keep eating them...
