My wife and kids would often drop in and have a plate and share the holkiday with us all.

The Docs at both facilities where I work are extremely generous, and usually spring for awesome Christmas spreads - if it weren’t for them we’d go hungry 
There’s never a shortage of food around the holidays in any nursing lounge

For Christmas Eve we will be having chicken cacciatore with ravioli and a tomato sugo. For dessert, walnut potica with sliced ham. My grandmother was a fantastic cook, and Christmas was when she really went all out. These recipes are a tribute to her and our family's Slovenian roots. Dober tek.

Funny all the folks doing a prime rib/standing rib roast. We're doing one as well, I almost felt like it was no really a holiday meal. In addition to that we'll be doing my wife's great-grandmother's stuffing/dressing recipe that they prepare the night before every year. Side dishes will prolly be the normal garlic mashed potatoes, greens, sweet potatoes, someone will not doubt do some awful redition of green bean cassarole 
I also just turned 37 (first time!), will no doubt be the oldest guy at OSUT when I ship in a couple of weeks.

Fillet the goose/pheasant breast, slice thin jalapenos, cream cheese and roll wrap them in bacon, 375F until brown, cooked, crisp, melted cheese.
If you run out of goose/pheasant, bird, try using elk, deer or any wild game. Same recipe, thin sliced jalapenos, cream cheese, bacon.
If you run out of all that, just take some bacon and wrap it in bacon, now you're on too something!!!

That would be delicious.... But no, just a ton of six types of good quality cheeses. Enough to fill one of those huge disposable aluminum pans that people cook turkeys in. Very cheesy, very tasty - decadent, almost.

What type of cheeses do you use? I've been testing various combinations for both mac and cheese and grilled cheese, but haven't ventured much farther than colby, monterey jack, swiss, mozzarella, provolone and cheddar.

Does it melt well? Depending on combinations and baking temps, I've had various results.

Colby (on top), extra sharp cheddar, parmigiano reggiano, romano, gruyere, and muenster. Comparatively small amounts of the parm reg and romano, dissolved in butter and cream.
IMO, all would be excellent for grilled cheese sammiches as well, except maybe the Colby.
ETA: Don't know if this should go without saying, but my mac n cheese is baked in the oven.

WM,
I've been doing Colby-Jack this week and it's actually quite tasty.

I actually have most of those ingredients stocked, to include Siracha for Killer M&C v2.0. Looks like I have a few more variations to try out.
