not sure this year
we'll have to see
I'm an empty nester, just me & dad
If it's at my place, I still don't know
we almost always do chips & dips,
I make a great clam/garlic dip,
I make a pretty good spinach dip in a carved out round
loaf of sour french bread
usually a deli plate, cheese & crackers
boose/beer for the adults, tea or sodas for the lil' un...
younger kids/grandkids, younger neices & nephews etc.
get on the ice cream maker, we/they
do homemade ice cream
when it's at my Aunts place, she goes all out
I personally like fish, lobster or crab, main dish
I usually get talked into a BBQ or cooking a Ham
Sweet Potatoes/pineapple w/marshmellows
or mashed potatoes & gravy,
macaroni or potato salad, 3 bean salad
&/or Green Bean Casorole
french bread with garlic butter, sweet rolls, crescent rolls
or my great sweet cornbread
my Aunt usually does the pies (I suck at it)
my favorite is Lemon Meringue, apple or any berry pies
or she does a killer
cheesecake, yum' I love chocolate with a graham cracker crust
Sometimes my Aunt will do her homemade ravioli
usually combined when we have the Lobster &/or Salmon &/or Crab
Sometimes she'll do a standing rib roast or just reg. prime rib
we've been known to do a big spaghetti, pasta of some sort
& sausage/onion red/gravy or italian feast too
she lived in Italy for a few years, she is great at it
(we're German/Norwegian mostly)
sometimes
almost all the above too
depends on who's coming & how many
since everyone is grown up its hit or miss now
different families, go different directions
