Winter Solstice Party 2008

We are starting to seriously get ready for our annual Winter Solstice Party, Sunday, Dec 21 from noon to eight. (You are invited!)

The menu is pretty much the same as always

Whole poached salmon decorated to look vaguely like striped bass

Big ham

Chili with all the fixings

Ham and Bean Soup

Wild rice salad

Corn pudding (this is new this year)

Saurkraut and weisswurst (new last year and very popular)

People will bring desserts and finger food.

The weather is always iffy - it may be raining Sunday, the reports are still mixed about whether it will/won't rain/sleet/snow.

I'm off to go make dashi to poach the salmon in and to chop and toast the nuts for the wild rice salad.
