Duck or chicken is all I can think of for an entree. If you want something unique, I remember one year, as a side, my mother served a mustard mold (renamed 'Mean Mr. Mustard Mold' by us kids!). I have no idea what was in it, but it was good.
Wait, I just found the recipe ingredients. It is suggested to be served as a side for the ham entree.
3/4 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons mustard powder

My youngest daughter is a vegetarian...she was absolutely die if I made duck...we had an injured duck stay with us for a while...it would be like eating dog to her....she can tolerate us eating meat just not meat that she thinks is "cute".
I am sort of leaning toward lemon chicken over rice...I am not worried about being traditional!

non vegetarian idea: as an entree, ham. i just buy one of those precooked ones ( NOT IN A CAN!!!!!!) and slather it with pineapple slices, save the juice, pour some in the bottom, also slather some brown sugar on the ham, and put a bunch in the bottom with the pineapple juice. it makes SUCH a good sauce!!!!
a vegetarian idea would be roasted vegetables. very yummy. squashes work very well.

I think I am going to make some ham steaks I got from costco and a leg of lamb, I found a recipe a friend gave me a long time ago that is really good. My daughter can have the sides, I will probably make some kind of rice dish. I think she will eat ham on occasion.
I would love to make the gumbo for new years.

ahhh that sucks.
what you need to do is take the stems off ( throw them away yucky!!) and with a damp cloth, pat them clean. NEVER run a mushroom under water, or soak it, becuase it'll absorb the water and it'll be tough. scrape the gills off. then just rub a little bit of olive oil on them, season them a bit with or salt and pepper, and grill a few minutes on each side. i'd baste with the balsamic vinegar when turning them over, and again when they are done.
also, if you make the salad to put on top, you should take the seeds out of the tomatoes. it'll make it less watery. also, maybe add a splash of the balsamic vinegar to it to tie the flavors together.
it'll be SO good
