Kaffy Mintcake

This year I think we'll have turkey for Christmas dinner, primarily because OH and I were on a flight to Europe on Thanksgiving and missed the festivities. Last year my mother fixed a roast and Yorkshire pudding of all things.

In our family the primary tradition is on Christmas morning. We eat a breakfast that consists of puffed pastry filled with a mixture of hard-boiled egg, dried beef, button mushrooms and artichoke hearts in a white sauce. I believe the dish is Swedish in origin but am not sure of that. What I do know is, it's very yummy.

I thought I would be ok not having the traditional (for my family) turkey dinner at christmas, so one year didn't bother. I felt like crying for days afterwards and I've never been so close to saying effit and going back home.

So I always do turkey now. For the first time in years Mr J and I are both off work for Xmas day and Boxing day, so we plan to cook loads and live off leftovers for days and not move from the house

But Mexican sounds pretty bloody good, maybe for xmas eve,,,,hmmmm
