This year’s Christmas feast gathering of the tightknit crew of dearest friends occurred on the day after Christmas. It called for one of our other celebratory menus, a dish we refer to as New Year’s Day meatballs in honor of the first occasion I ever got to sample ‘em. It’s a standard call to bring company mashed potatoes along, and while we’re doing the easy casseroles, why not also go with layered green bean casserole?
All this was followed by our latest rounds of the homemade Collins Against Humanity game, with plenty of belly chuckles, a smattering of gasps, and the occasional difficulty of navigating the tortured alliterations that recur all too often on some selections of response cards. It was another great evening of togetherness. Keeping us all company while the frivolity played out over his head was the ever-faithful and truly golden child pooch of the Roediger House:
"New Year's Day Meatballs," from Carol Fultz; recipe shared with me in 2001.
"Company Mashed Potatoes" and "Layered Green Bean Casserole," longtime family favorite sides.
