Well 19 days to Christmas Eve, since I think of it as a 2 day holiday, Eve and the Day.

Re: What's For Dinner-December 2011
Once again, I'll be at work. Loading in our ballet company's production of Nutcracker again since Les Miserables is now gone from the theatre. I'll either end up at Taco Bell on my way home, or if I have to take a regular taxi rather than one of my boys I'll grab some cabbage soup from the freezer when I get home.

Felix sorry to hear about the less then invitation dinner at work.
I receive from a farm several times a year. I thought you might like these. Church I am going to make the Chestnut soup, I have had Chestnut dressing but never soup.
Winter Recipes
Healthy Chestnut Soup
Ingredients:
1 lb chestnuts
1 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions
1 ½ cups chopped cabbage
4 cups chicken broth
Directions:
1. Cut the chestnuts in half, and place in a pot of cold water. Once the water comes to a boil, cook the chestnuts for about 5 minutes. Shell and peel them under cold running water while they are still hot, then chop into pieces.
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions until cooked.
3. Add the cabbage and broth, and simmer until the cabbage is almost soft.
4. Add the chestnuts and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Pour the soup into a food processor, and puree until smooth.
6. Reheat on stove before serving.
Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 cups milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
green onions and parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit. Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Blend in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, 1/2 cup at a time. Heat to boiling. Boil and stir 1 minute.
Arrange potatoes in greased 2 quart casserole in 3 layers, topping each layer with part of the chopped onions and 1/3 of the sauce. Dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, broken into little pieces. Cover and bake until potatoes are tender, about 60-70 minutes. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
