That is actually really interesting to me. Something totally different.
If you think to , perhaps take some pics and post up in a dedicated thread .
I know nothing about this. Is it a day trip? Camp out?
Will you catch fish. If so what sort.
Will you see wild life?

A dressing is not stuffing. A dressing is something you spoon over or through food. Salad dressing is a prime example. A stuffing will be firm but moist & really should be baked within the meat as it is all about flavours. Neither are condiments, jus or sauces.

Mash and corn do not belong with roasts. They belong with sausages and pies.

Not sure what the dinner roll thing is. Dinner rolls to me are tiny fresh baked bread rolls that are served with a suitable dinner. Should be served warm. One each only.

Yeah :amen:

Pretty much what they are... But most seem to buy them from the store bakery already made.

I've only been to 2 or 3 Christmas Dinners in Canada over the last 14 years, so I don't exactly have a wide range of experience outside of those few.

I don't know what dinner rolls are but they sound like heaven. I bet they're good warmed, filled with slightly mushed roast potatoes, a little bit of stuffing and some gravy on them. That's about as likely to happen as my Dad wanting to meat Cindy Crawford in the 1980s. :(

:ohmy:

NoNoNo. No filling or dunking the dinner rolls.
They get served first. Break Bread.

Re: First Christmas!
 

Our first Christmas was pretty depressing as I'd just been made redundant. So we returned Christmas presents prior to Christmas to get the money back. To cap it off the Crappy Tire lights we'd put up on the house were subject to a safety recall so we had to take them all down & return them to the store. So all in all not a good Christmas.

Fortunately, subsequent Christmas's have been rather better. Aside from the one Christmas in 14 years we spent in England, every Christmas has involved going to one of the Mrs's relatives house as they host and cook the Christmas lunch. It is full Newfoundland style Christmas dinner so turkey yes but then carrot, turnip & cabbage boiled for many hours with salt beef riblets till they are a vaguely salty mush. Plus mashed potatoes & pease pudding. I've been suggesting for years that one Christmas I'd host & do a "proper" roast but to no avail. However, as I think I've posted before, now we have kids I am appreciative of the fact we can drop by for a couple of hours eat our fill, socialise and then leave before the washing up needs doing. ;)

No, dinner rolls are little rolls, of the bread kind, boring and served with dinner. Thats all they are. Waste of carbohydrate allowance.

Ice fishing always looks fun, not an easy task around my parts so never done it, but looks fun.

Re: First Christmas!
 

Could you freeze your aquarium? :ohmy:

Re: First Christmas!
 

And use some Tinned/Frozen Lobster for bait!!

Re: First Christmas!
 

I took them down, but you could if you found a big enough freezer but then the water as it frozen would crack the glass and all the fish would die, too small of water volume so would be one big chunk of ice.

Our second Christmas here and yes, this is already our established tradition!

Hah, Here we just head out into the woods and chop down a likely looking specimen. That's tomorrow afternoon's job.
