   What do you like? Dessert? Main courses- which ones? Appetizers? Egg nog?
   I like anything that tastes good, and I am really not that picky.

      I am an amateur chef. I take on the resposibility to prepare the apetizers, main course and dessert for our Christmas feast, and I am happy to do so for three special reasons.
      
      As chef, I get to choose what will become a part of the menu and how it is prepared.
      
      As chef, as the cook, before everyone else, I get to taste and sample what I am preparing, to ensure that it is cooked properly and tastes good.
      
      As chef, even though I clean up all the pots and pans as I use them, I do not have to wash the dishes after dinner is done.

         Wow. I love people who can cook! I "experiment" more than cook.  I sometimes feel sorry for my poor husband who has to be the experimental guinea pig to try the things I make LOL! .  Yes, my husband and I have a deal. If one of us cooks, the other will clean the dishes .  Thanks for answering!

   Cochinillo (milk fed roasted suckling pig)
   
   Since moving to Spain, my holiday habits have changed a bit. Although it is not really a traditional holiday meal, it has become so with our family.

         I´m not sure where in Knoxville you can find an authentic cochinillo. You may have to import it. I first came across it in a spectacular restaurant in Segovia, Spain.
         
         
         Am I allowed to post the website of the restaurant here?
         
         It will give you the recipe in english and some beautiful rooms. It was originally a hunting lodge that was converted into a restaurant in the late 1800s.

            Oh, wow.  Well, I am not sure if I will be on my way to Spain anytime soon.  However making it sounds like a plan! I'm not sure if you are allowed to but you can email it to me through HubPages.

   New York Style Cheesecake.  It's so fattening that I would only eat it during the holidays.

      I saw someone killing the poor turkey and had to see what the commotion was about.
