Christmas eve dinner in Alabama

Linda can duplicate most of her Mom's masterful southern meals, including her amazing Christmas spread.  This is the "lite" version.

I relish and enjoy learning about the differences in other parts of this country and internationally.  And food is usually a good place to start.

I'm really not sure how other areas of this country do "dressing", cranberry relish (ok probably prevalent), sweet potatoes, smoked chicken and turkeys, etc.  -- I will say, for the moment at least, it would be difficult to beat this one.

p.s.  I was sworn to secrecy re; just whose plate this is in the pic.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
