I'm with Jeff on this one. I really enjoy all the food. What I always enjoy is getting together and everyone brings something different for me to enjoy.
I used to love Christmas candy but for some reason I've lost my sweet tooth for it. As a kid growing up my Mom would make all different kinds and I'd pig out. Hmmm maybe I overdid it. :D
Marcel I've never heard of doughnuts dipped in maple syrup, we make a glazed one but yours sound great.
Christmas in NZ always means Pavlova for desert.
Not sure if you get it in the States, but it's a light marshmallow sort of desert, served with cream and fruit. Kiwifruit, Strawberries, passionfruit etc

Because Christmas is in the start of summer here this works much better than pudding / custard / trifle in the hot weather. No matter how much you pigged out on BBQ, you can always find a bit of space for a slice of Pav. ;D

That sounds pretty good, Ian. Not like some of the strange food I've had in NZ. Let's see. In Hokitika, there was Whitefish if I remember correctly. It was a mass of minnows that would have been good for bait. :D In Christchurch, I ordered a hamburger and it came with a fried egg and sliced beets on the burger. ??? I had a Kiwi friend over here one time and he had a burger at a pub. He must have been disappointed when it only had tomato, onion and lettuce on it. ;) ahh yes. Then there was that time in Auckland that we were at a pub on the ocean front. I ordered some beef dish and it was delivered with raw chunks of meat and a very hot rock in the center of the plate. Just put the meat on the rock and cook to your liking. ::)
Edit: Thinking back I believe Whitefish is actually called Whitebait.
Yup, it's Whitebait. Used to spend a lot of time fishing for those with my Grandmother when I was a kid.
All the other stuff is "normal" food here :D Even McDs has a burger with beets on it here.
Ian
Turkey.....in a sandwich.....the day AFTER Christmas. 8) 8)
Norm,
Renée makes the dough from scratch. Rolls the dough and cuts out the donuts, the trimings get cooked also ( the hole and the parts around the donut rings ). I find those the best. ;D Take the donuts out of the iol and dip into hot maple syrup, do the same with the trimings. Set them on waxed paper to cool... infin you can wait that long :)

My wife wants to know what is on mcD's burger in addition to the slice of beet.
Marv
Nothing wrong with a fried egg on a hamburger! I had that too when I went upside down under.
I am with the Boss........."Pea-con" pie 8).

Of course I think their burgers are total crap and never go there, you can get MUCH better burgers just down the street.

No rerolling the dough, just cut out the donuts , and cook every thing ... 8)
Boy, those doughnuts and pieces sure look good!
We'll have to give it a go!
I really like home-made fruitcake with some ...uh... rum in the mix!
WOW!!!!!!
Marcel, your donuts look awesome! I would be happy to ride shotgun on the drive up to your place. 8)
My doughnuts ... Only thing I had to do with them is da picture takin', those are all Renée's and her mothers doing. Of course I get to do quality control for them ;D :D
You guys would be welcomed anytime ;)

Swing by and pick me up!
I remember when I was a little kid there was a diner that had a doughnut making machine. It was enclosed with glass so we could watch the dough drop into the grease. A arm would pull the donuts around and onto a flat where they dried. It was pretty cool'.
Marcel,
How about that recipe?
I like homemade apple muffins :) and apple pie ;D
Here ya go Bill :) All's ya needed was ask.
Beigne à Renée
cinq jaunes d'oeufs battus
un quart de tasse de beurre fondue
deux tasses de sucre
une cuillère a thé de vanille
deux tasses de lait
six tasses de farine
six cuillères à thé de poudre a pâte
une cuillère à thé de sel
Tu mélanges le beurre fondue avec le sucre puis tu ajoutes les oeufs, le lait et la vanille. Ajoutes ensuite les ingrédients secs et faire une boule.
Rouler la pâte 1/4 de pouce d'épaisseur.
Couper les beignes a la grandeur que vous aimez.
:P :P ;D ;D
There ya go, Bill! Hee hee hee
Google Translate totally failed.
I don't know if I figured the recipe out but I had to give it a try............. ;D 8)
5 yolks beaten
a quarter cup of melted butter
2 cups sugar
A teaspoon vanilla
2 cups milk
6 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Mix the melted butter with sugar.
Add eggs, milk and vanilla.
Add then the dry ingredients mix and make a ball.
Roll the ball out to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
Cut the donuts to the size you want
I think you'll end up with round, holey, French Toast.
You are good with the translating there my friend . :)
I have tried google translator many times and it just gets me more convused if that can be done :D
If you need any more help Bill just shout!!! ;D
I had to do a lot of configurating on the translations Marcel. But it was fun and a challenge I could not resist. 8)
"DanG! I went to cook donuts and I ended up with French Toast!"
Oyster stew
Oyster dressing
Fried cornmeal mush
Pumpkin pie
Apple pie
Peach pie
Deer jerky

Not so much the sweets here. We go more for the heartstopping fats and things that go well with crackers or pumpernickel bread.
homemade liver sausage
headcheese
limburger spread
chopped beef
roasted keilbasa
pickled herring
spinach dip
cream cheese + dang nearly anything (corned beef, shrimp, smoked salmon, etc.)
Any goofy meat in the slow cooker with mushroom soup (#1 chicken hearts & gizzards, #2 squirrel)
Do you have a good recipe for the liver sausage? I have quite a few that need to be used.
Lee , I make a liver paté that is to ... well dam good :D
Steam cook the liver, take all the nerves,skin, what ever is not liver out, put in the blender with same amount of butter. Blend it all together , add what ever spice you like , I put some garlic , pepper and salt. put in small containers and to the fridge it goes .. try that on toasted peice of bread :)
Marcel,
How long will it keep like that? Sounds good.
I don't know, a few weeks in the fridge, never really tried to see how long it would last, eating it is alot easier a task. I put them in the freezer till I want some seams to keep well in there, I do though have a vaccum sealer ( cheap one ) ;) but hey , it works just fine by me. ;D
lots of them, Deviled Eggs are about the best I can think of now as I cant eat as many as I want :( good apple pie, and a nice browned and juicy Turkey with a pile of real mashed taters and real gravy made in the turkey pan... 8)
Most times now though it is instant taters, gravy from a bag, apple pie from a box and if lucky some Deviled Eggs ;)
This year had some real made from scratch Bread Pudding my sister made. I made the Ham and Glazed it at her house. came out pretty good. My uncle Joe used to always bring Jello Deserts of some concoction that usually was real good too.
