I used to create and print out a menu for Thanksgiving and Christmas...when I used to cook much larger meals. Now, it's usually just my immediate family but I still make enough for whoever may drop by and for plenty of leftovers. LOL

GrandMa Kay's Christmas Menu.

Gwaltney Ham
Sea Food & Pasta Salad
Green Bean Casserole
Green Salad
Deviled Eggs
Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake

Kay has already made the sea food salad using small canneroni pasta as the base and then adding shrimp, crab meat, boiled eggs, veggies like chopped celery and green onions, plus pimentos, Mayo and a few *secret* ingredients.
The ham is going in the oven at about 1:00PM... it's a little over 13lbs, so I'm gonna cook it on 325˚ for 3 hours and that should make it nice.  :disted:
Mindi is bringing the Green Bean Casserole and she always makes a good one, so it will get all gone quickly.
The cake came from Sam's, they are pretty good for store cakes.

Kay's doing the green salad and any other last minute stuff when she gets home from work and then we get to eat it all up!  :bigteeth:

From the Gwaltney Website:

Quote

Gwaltney meats are cured in the tradition of Old Virginia. Since 1870 Gwaltney hams, franks, lunchmeats, sausage and bacon have delivered the Finest in taste from Virginia. Today, Gwaltney Great Dogs and Great Bolony are America's favorite poultry franks and bologna while Gwaltney's 40% Less Fat Bacon delivers the great taste of "Real" bacon with only ? of gram of saturated fat per slice. The Great Taste of Gwaltney has kept families saying "Gwaltney is Great" for over 130 years. Gwaltney products can be found in over 40 states in the United States.

Never had the duck, but me loves those 'Collards with Smoked Ham Hocks'.

It has been a while and now I'm missing them because you mentioned them.  :yikes:

Do you cut the collard leaves in big chunks, or chop them up fine? Always liked mine left in big pieces.

EDIT: Just now put the Gwaltney ham in the oven.  :2thumbs:

Duck has the taste of chicken but the texture of pork.

I cut mine in big chunks. Too small and it kills the texture...too much like chopped spinach. I also like to cook them slow and low until the juices reduce and make what the old folks called "pot liquor". If you make it right, you can drink the "pot liquor" like water and it tastes great! I remember hearing stories about it since I was little but didn't realize what it was until about 7 years ago and finally I made it myself like that.

Les is the 3rd and 4th and he is always hungry. LOL
