Staying home.
Making Herb-Crusted Prime Rib. Dry Brined for 3 days. Roasted Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes. Red Wine Au Jus. Cherry Cheesecake. All from scratch. I am a fat bastard, not just feelings.
I am making tacos today. I'll be making the guacamole and the salsa from scratch. Have lots of sweets, 7 kinds of beer and a new bottle of Scotch.
My dad brought over a prime rib yesterday. He cooked it at 500 in the oven for 5 minutes for every pound the meat was . Then turn the heat off and let it sit for 2 hours. It turned out awesome. Works for all kinds of meat.
Dun that before as well, and then put it over a wood burned flame and stayed with it and manually rotated it to give it the perfect crust, works amazing...
Just me and the wife and our two kiddos this year! Doing a standing rib roast mashed taters and corn.
The Balvenie 12 years DoubleWood. It's a Speyside Scotch. Tastes yummy! It's my third Speyside. I've got (in total) 11 different scotches now. Love the differences, not only between distilleries, but between regions.
Did it that way for years. I’ve now reversed it to low and slow (250°) until the temp I want then sear in 500° oven. I’ve been using a traeger for the low and slow. Gets more even medium rare edge to edge.
Done both. The low and slow followed by the 500 sear is better imo. Have had a smoked prime rib which was delicious but don’t have a smoker. Just got a Sous Vide so that’s going to be the next thing I try.
Roast Duck mashed potatoes and gravy and fruit salads..
And some eggnog with Buffalo Trace..

My workplace provided a turkey for all the employees so we're having that tonight. In addition to turkey, we're having mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, green bean casserole, and a couple dessert options.
Prime Rib, twice baked potatoes and jalapeno corn. It was great and I now I am looking forward to 12 hours of over stuffing misery.
Lobster tail and butter, with crimini risotto, green beans. And mead. Yep. Autumnal ******* mead.
We’ve done takeout La Mesa the last 2 years. Price is right. Quality and service were much better last year than this year though.
Christmas eve is always cheddar chowder, shrimp cocktail, summer sausage and cheese tray, cannibal meat followed by watching a Christmas Carol w/George C Scott.
Christmas day at my Mom's house with all the siblings, grand kids and great grandkids.
Ham balls, roast beef, crock pot potatoes, salads too many to count, corn, bacon wrapped asparagus, sweet potatoes, rolls and homemade dill bread, pecan pie and berry medley pie. There was probably more!!

Ham balls...that seriously sounds freaking fantastic.
Oh I know what they are. I’m basically saying I want one right now.
That's funny...everything BUT the ham balls sounded good to me.
Not much of a fan of ham at all.We had the same thing, prime rib and twice baked potatoes although we had salad instead of corn. Nothing Bundt Cakes for dessert. Yum!
Went to a Chinese buffet on Christmas Day #FaRaRaRaRa
Did you know that 80% of Asians have Cataracts? The other 20% drive Lincolns.
Any Swedes in here? Potato bologna is a must during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Any non Swedes ever heard of or tried it?
Did our traditional Clam Chowder for Christmas Eve, and Prime Rib Herb Crusted for Christmas Day.
Took several naps.
