Turkey? Or the centrepiece dish?

What is Kringle?

Kind of like danish (it's also a Danish pastry)...flaky, sweet, goopy with icing and fruit topping. Man, I miss it. I grew up in WI and am of mostly Scandinavian descent (my kid is even named Dane).

If we have a gathering for Christmas, we usually have some kind of barbeque, and I'll brine and roast a turkey. Didn't do it last year though, coz I was here in the US, but now I'll be home for christmas, but I doubt it, since i only arrive christmas eve 10pm and there won't be time. Hopefully next year.
People miss my turkey more than they miss me

I had about ten for Chanukah last Sunday. Besides the latkes, I did make a turkey, but it was mostly because it's easy; pop it in the oven and let it cook. My DH carves it and does most of the cooking when turkey is involved. I also had a kugel (noodle pudding) and others brought fruit salad and regular salad.
A lot of the time, we just make the latkes and have sort of a dairy dinner, with tuna salad, kugel, and fruit.

Latkes can hold their own against any holiday food!


I'd love to do a goose--but when we looked at them at the store it was $70 for about a normal sized one. Duck about the same size is under $20.

Brewer loves cooking duck anyway. The meat is incidental (but very tasty!), but he uses the fat and the stock for weeks afterward.

We spent a few years in the Milwaukee area when I was growing up and that's where we discovered Kringle and added it to our traditions. Every year, Kringles from O&H bakery (in Racine) go out to all the members of our family all over the country so that we all are 'sharing' Christmas breakfast even if we can't be in the same place.

Most of the time, it is prime rib for Christmas with twice baked potatoes. Occasionally, a duck or a goose. with twice baked potatoes and weird jello dessert.

My husband's family favors ham and scalloped potatoes, etc.

I am not a fan of Christmas dinner - these meals are just too heavy for me!

Well, call me lazy, but I want to take Christmas day off too. So, I usually do a breakfast casserole that I can make the night before. I also cut up fresh fruit and serve mimosas.
