Cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. Snickerdoodles, thumb print cookies, ginger snaps, chocolate chip, and of course sugar cookies. That seems to be a growing holiday cooking tradition in our house. I imagine it will become more permanent as our daughter gets older.
My wife's family used to make custard pie, pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheese pie, but that's faded a bit recently. If it were up to my father-in-law, prime rib would solidify it's place on the table each year. I'm all for that, but it becomes harder to do as the number of dinner guests keeps growing each year. The only other thing that is always made is smashed candied yams. Always.
? Do you make popcorn garlands? Do you go counter-culture and make something not associated with the season, like lobster or BBQ Ribs? Anyone make an ethnic dish from your family's culture or borrow from another culture? Christopsomo, Tourtiere, Latkes? Do you defy the winter snow and cook outside?
