Whatever will fit in my lunchbox. I'm working Christmas Eve and Christmas Night too.

In a town close to me, there is a School Car from the old northern rail school days. It's now a museum on wheels.

italian wedding soup is my favorite christmas eve meal

[quote=EZMONEY;2503973]What's for dinner Christmas Eve?....Angie and I have to feed around 27 people....I have to work that day....she will be gone Mon and Tues...so we are thinking spaghetti and meatballs....something we haven't served before for Christmas Eve...what do you think? Ideas?[/quot

My suggestion Tamales! Let me know when they are ready !

Yummm, tamales!

I thing spaghetti would be a great Christmas eve dinner for a big crowd like that. Big salad on the side, breadsticks. Works for me, but then we're doing lasagna for Christmas dinner (regular and seafood).

Count me in for tamales. We'll be bringing six people total.

Please be warned that DS and his GF are a bit picky about wines, so your choices will be well appreciated.

Does cabernet go with Tamales?

I usually have a margarita with Mexican food, though.

Tamales sound good. Spaghetti and meatballs... great choice, too. I usually fix clam chowder on Christmas Eve, but that's just our family. Chili would be good and easy, too.

Gary , if you choose Tamales will you be serving Corona or Dos Equis ?

Pacifico. If not Pacifico, then Dos Equis.

And what time would you like us to arrive?

OK. Hand over the seafood lasagna and nobody gets hurt.

I wouldn't serve anything as tannic as cab with something on the spicy side. A good chianti would be great. However, if you are a wimp, you can opt for a white wine. I'd recommend a riesling.

My bad... the museum was in Apple Valley then moved to Victorville before moving to Missouri. The location you are talking about was in Victorville.

SO you ARE SANTA!

We have had soup before...Angie was going to make Italian Wedding soup but never got around to perfecting a recipe for 30.

Hey yeah...the tamale lady hasn't been around for a while...wonder what happened?

Angie and I are making meatballs on Sunday after church...a big salad and garlic bread will finish the meal...others will bring desserts.

I always serve red and white BILL.

Angie drinks white I am a merlot kind of guy...but I like it chilled!

I made chili a few years back....but we go to church at 10pm...not a pretty site....my brother, bil and I

Coronas are always in my fridge!

We usually start around 6pm....all are welcome!

Angie knocked off the last of the chianti last night after working at yoga.

Looks like we are all up for a Mexican food get together ....I'm in

... 50 to go.


Thanks for the menu update Gary. We'll be there at 6 promptly. By by by, we always arrive with a bag of Maine lobsters enough for the crowd. You'll need a 26 quart pot.
