The Christmas Feast Photos

Nothing fancy about Thevictorian Family Christmas. Just the foods everybody likes, and a rudimentary place setting. It looks like this year, we were lucky to get a select-a-size paper towel, and ONE utensil, heh, heh. I think The Pony was the table-setter, with Friend as a partner in crimes against etiquette. Everybody had mostly the same foods on their plate.

We'll start with The Pony, who was also the photographer, and showed TWO views.

Looks like a ham and swiss and pepperjack on brioche with mayo and whole grain mustard, and hash brown potatoes, roasted veggies, stuffing, and potato salad. I do NOT see deviled eggs! A favorite of The Pony. Then again, The Pony's palate prefers them room temp. So maybe some were waiting elsewhere.

That's a custom-made salad from The Pony's own hands. A bagged crunchy Italian mix, with shredded mozzarella, boiled egg, Caesar dressing, and fried onion crispy thingies. I see The Pony was also blessed with a butter knife, and not just a fork. That's rum and Coke for the beverage.

Next we have the plate of Friend, who seems to like the basics.

That's a good-looking sandwich, unlike The Pony's, which barely had any ham. Also hash brown potatoes, roasted veggies, stuffing, and Sister Schubert's Rolls. On the plate, no less, unlike The Pony, who eats them right out of the pan, having a separate pan designated as such. There's some of the 7-layer salad.

Genius made good use of his plate:

The sandwich on brioche seems to be a secret, though I might detect some bacon sticking out. Two deviled eggs, a couple of baby carrots, potato salad, hash browns, roasted veggies, and stuffing. Genius's salad is a 6-layer version! I made it alongside the 7-layer, leaving out peas. Rather than the mayo on top of a 7-layer, Genius prefers to add Caesar dressing. Just ice water to drink.

Hick had the messiest plate. Are you surprised?

Hick took his ham straight, not diluted by a sandwich. Hash browns, stuffing, veggies, potato salad, deviled eggs. I hope he spun that plate around for eating, since the right side looks like a trap waiting to get all over Hick's hand when cutting the ham.

I got a full plate's worth this year.

I went for a half-sandwich on Nutty Oat bread. Hash browns, veggies. a deviled egg, a slice of summer sausage and one of Oberle cheese that were left from snacking during our preparation time making the 7-layer salad. Some cauliflower and broccoli with dip. Potato salad. And my favorite, the 7-layer salad.

Again, dessert pictures were forgotten. It was Oreo Cake, but you're seen a picture of that before. Everybody had a good feed. Hick and I are still on the leftovers. The ham will go a few more days, but I've frozen a bunch of the rest. Hick is having the last two deviled eggs tonight. The Pony took home a bunch of leftovers. Genius and Friend took some cake.

Part of the larger dishes remain in FRIG II. Once we finish with the salad and veggies and hash browns tonight, I'll be getting them washed up as well. Then I have a breather until Super Bowl Sunday.
