Christmas dinner for 2 - need suggestions.

8. Warpy nailed it.

Many years ago, when I was an airline employee, and of course had to work the holidays, one year I made Cornish Game Hens for my dinner. I cooked them at home before I went to work, -- it goes without saying, I hope, that there was a wild rice stuffing -- and warmed them (and whatever side dishes I might have had. This was about 40 years ago so I no longer recall all the details) in the small oven we had in our break room.

I arranged that I and the other employee I'd cooked for would take a late dinner break. I think I might have had a bottle of wine, but maybe not. Anyway, all the other employees were jealous, and it was a lovely thing to have when working on a holiday.

Anyway, Cornish Game Hens are perfect for two.

Me, I'll fix an entire turkey for myself as I did last year, or as I intend to do for this Christmas when one of my sons is visiting, but not everyone wants to deal with the massive leftovers.
