Hello Foodies,We wanted to share the fabulous menu that Tour de Forks alum, Jackie Chasey and her fiance, Dan Griffin, cooked up for Christmas day dinner. We were invited to join in the festivities along with Dan's two daughters, Nettie and Carolyn, and Carolyn's boyfriend, Dustin.
Here's an action shot of Jackie on the pour...and Carolyn in the background wondering when this delicious dinner will be served?
The 2009 Christmas dinner menu at Jackie and Dan's follows:
Jackie's spiced nuts paired with Brut Champagne Gaston Cliquot Non Vintage.
First course: Edward's of Virgina "Surrryano" Country Ham with Sour Cream Dill Biscuits paired with a 2008 Riesling, Donnhoff Grey Slate.
Second course: Chestnut and Hazelnut Soup garnished with Creme Fraiche.
Main course: Roast Goose with Madeira Gravy, Carmelized Brussel Sprouts, Mashed Japanese Sweet Potatoes, Sausage and Bread Stuffing with Kumquats, Cranberries, and Pistachios paired with a 2007 Red Burgundy, Domaine Anne Gros.
The dessert was a homemade Shaker Lemon Pie and a southern import of caramel heaven, Caroline's Seven Layer Caramel Cake.This meal was so amazing it made me wonder why Santa Claus only comes for cookies and doesn't stay for the Christmas Eve or the Christmas Day Dinner? He certainly missed out at Jackie and Dan's.
What did you have for your holiday dinner?
We wish you a delicious and fruitful new year 2010!
Lisa and Melissa
