I thought I should write about some of the Christmas food we have experienced so far in our 2006 Christmas journeys. First up is the company Christmas party. The food here is pulled pork BBQ sandwiches and some really good beans to go with it. There was also some excellent hot sauce.
Next we have Christmas morning at my parents' house. Traditionally we have summer sausage with cheese, crackers, and mustard, but my Dad is on a ultra low sodium diet so sausage was not an option. Instead we cooked up some thinly sliced steak with a bunch of sodium free spices. Mom made a non-spicy version that was made with plum jam. We also found some really good honey mustard that was very low sodium. For cheese we had smoked Gouda, which had a lot of sodium.
Lastly we have Christmas dinner at Rebekah's parents where we enjoyed a Giant Eagle (Doug is picking the eagle bones for dark meat in the picture, and the mark on his hand is the stamp from ice skating, not a tattoo). In addition to the eagle we had raspberry jello, corn, green beans with almonds, stuffing, gravy, crescent rolls and mashed potatoes.

The "eagle" was good, but we forgot the cranberry sauce. And alas, the raspberry jello was in a big mold instead of individual ones.
Yes, only a true YATES could take and share pictures of only food. Welcome to the family. -- Big T
Actually, Travis, Ryan took those pictures and posted them. :)
