I wonder what will be the next Christmas special, but I hope it'll be something as over the top as a pine tree. Hope to see these recipes and have a chance to try them: the "Fa-la-la-lafel" sounds really great.

      That is my biggest concern. How much actual tree is used to produce the "ingredients" in a tree-course meal? When I google it, I'm seeing that 6% of the log's volume becomes sawdust at a sawmill, so we'd be dealing with 3 pounds of sawdust from a 50-lb tree. That leaves 47 pounds of needles, branches, and trunk to cook up as well.

      Also, the sawdust _is_ branches and trunk. Stopping the blade at 3 lbs sawdust seems real arbitrary. Grind it, dry it, and a 50 lb tree should net you about 20 lbs of sawdust. Maybe that's 6% of the volume, I've no idea.
