Holiday Party

Every January we have a holiday party.  Started out using a caterer for part of the fare but he failed miserably a couple of times.  Delivered a practically raw turkey breast, late, etc.  Now, I do all the cooking.  The recipes will follow over time.  For now, though, here's the bill of fare.
