Going Retro

     We spent Christmas Eve at a neighbor's home across the street from us, along with other neighbors and friends.  Dinner was a 50's flashback.  Appetizers included artichoke dip and sauerkraut meatballs.  The serve yourself buffet consisted of a spiral baked ham, potatoes au gratin topped with potato chips, and a marshmallow fruit salad.  Everyone loved it.                                                         
     My sister in Ohio told me she would be making our mother's Christmas Jell-O salad for her family's holiday dinner; layered red and green with marshmallows, pineapple, and whipped cream.  Retro meals.  Comfort food.  Don't we all long for holidays past with memories of meals served by our mothers? 
     I must still be in the retro mindset.  Today I made a Caramelized Onion Dip (recipe HERE).  Yesterday I made "My Mother's" Ham Salad (recipe HERE).  Looks like we're on for a retro appetizer New Year's Eve.
