My tourtiere on Christmas Eve was nixed - our roommate wanted to make her 'traditional' Christmas Eve dinner.  It turns out she's making lasagna. :blink: WTF - she's Ojibway, and her traditional Christmas Eve dinner is lasagna?
LOL does she say: "How, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh" ???

Last night was pyrogy-making night.  Or rather, it was my wife's pyrogy making night - I made supper (hamburgers) and helped clean up.

For Christmas Day we'll be having turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, caesar salad (:blink:) and pie.  I'll probably be making the turkey.

I offered to make holoptsi, another Barrister Christmas fave, but everyone else said 'no thanks'. :cry:

Uh, Lasagna? WTF is that shit. Throw her out.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Also, I will probably celebrate tomorrow with a Discordian Christmas Breakfast involving beef and pork. (Polish catholics fast on Christmas eve, so this is a fuck-you to Catholic, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and vegetarian Buddhists). :P

What sort of beef? In sausages?

btw, what's holopsti?

Ukrainian cabbage rolls.  No idea how to spell it though, only ever heard it spoken.

It sounds quite similar to a traditional Ukrainian Christmas.  I once dated a girl who had immigrated from Ukraine, and went over to her parents place for a traditional 12 meatless dishes.  Lots of fish of course.  The one thing that sticks out to me was the kutya (sp?), the sweet grain dish.

In Poland kutya means the honey-and-poppy dish I mentioned. :)
