Favorite family tradition: Getting drunk off my arse and telling everyone, "Ok, get out! Christmas is over!" :) j/k

I make an Italian buffet for Christmas so that we don't have to spend the day in the kitchen. I make two pans of Lasagne. One with meat and one without and 2 crockpots full of meatballs. They can simmer in the crockpots all day on low and be snacked on thoughout the day. I buy a few bags of Italian rolls for the meatballs and provolone cheese to melt on them.

The wife makes a couple pumpkin pies and sometimes those round walnut cookies rolled in the powdered sugar. I do the cooking but, I don't like to bake so she takes care of that. She has an excellent pumpkin pie recipe. You have to try this:

Pie crust: Pillsbury pie crust

---------------------cream cheese layer ingredients:-----------------------

4oz. cream cheese-softened

1 tbsp. milk

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups Cool Whip

---------------------------Pumpkin Layer----------------------------------

1 cup cold milk

6 ozs vanilla pudding mix

1 3/4 cup pumpkin

2 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ginger

1/8 tsp. cloves

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bake pie crust as directed on box.

--------------------------------------------

To prepare cream cheese layer, combine cream cheese, 1 tbsp. milk, sugar and Cool Whip in a mixing bowl. Spread onto bottom of crust.
---------------------------------

To prepare pumpkin layer, Combine the 1 cup of milk, pudding mix, pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in another bowl. Spread over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 4 hrs. or until set. Top with Cool Whip.
--------------------------------

Now some might think that cream cheese and vanilla pudding with pumpkin is odd. That's what I thought until she made it several years ago and now I consider it the best pumpkin pie you can eat. She has to make several of them because everyone in the family wants to take one home with them. They love it. Enjoy!

I love extra sharp cheddar cheese fondue and make tiny meatballs for dipping.

2 tbsp. butter

2 tbsp. flour

2 cups cold milk

2 16oz extra sharp cheddar cheese blocks. Shred in food processor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make a roue (sp?) by melting butter in saucepan, add flour and cook for a minute or two to cook out flour taste. You can season flour too if you wish. Pour in milk and continue stirring and when milk begins to bubble lower heat and continue stirring another minute until mixture thickens. Add shredded cheese and melt. You can also add some crushed red pepper or whatever if you want to kick it up a notch.

Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies

1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila

Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the
Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality - pour one
level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy
bowl.

Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again. At this point it's best to
make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup ..just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and
chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the frigging fruit off floor...
Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers
just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Cuervo to check for
tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check
the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add
one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget
to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window,
finish the Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the
dishwasher.
