What's on your plate?

[gunlovingirl]

I know it's a day early, but I thought I'd start a Christmas dinner thread. I'm sure a lot of y'all won't have time to take pics tomorrow of your dinner, but if you do, add your pics here. We all love food pics! Almost as much as a gun pic! I'll start with dessert. Made my strawberry swirl cheescake yesterday for dessert tomorrow. Missing piece? What missing piece? Who? Me?

 

[neiljrosen]

I'll take it.

Here it is. Of course this is before skinning and smoking.

I am expected to have a hind quarter smoked for Christmas lunch, and this is the one I picked out yesterday.

No pic but we are having bacon wrapped filets about 2.5" thick grilled over charcoal to a nice med rare, 8 pounds of king crab legs, green beans and double baked potatos. Not to mention all the cookies and the chocalate fondue to dip the strawberrys and banannas into. Plenty of cocktails and the enjoyment of the little ones opening presents, and the not so enjoyment of the adults putting them together. Oh, that cheesecake looks GREAT!

What a great Karma! - - - - Oh never mind.

No pictures yet, but we are having the traditional Christmas Eve fish/seafood dinner. We don't do as much as we used to when we were younger. This year will be limited to lobster tails, shrimp, mussels, and snow crab. In years past we would also have dried cod, clams, oysters, and two varieties of eel. We just don't eat like we used to.

 

[BarbC]

It'll be shrimp and prime rib.

Wish it could be that cheesecake too!

We have our big dinner Christmas Eve. I am retired and my wife is employed so I do all the cooking...and I have to get back at it now. Merry Christmas!

[Class III]

Smoked ham, smoked pork tenderloin and a fried turkey breast. Also sweet 'taters, green beans and corn. For dessert it's pecan pie (proper pronunciation - pah-kahn) with pecans harvested from the ancient pecan trees on my farm. Poor old miss piggy made the mistake of getting caught rooting up one of my deer food plots and the turkey is from the last Tennessee turkey season. Sweet 'taters are from a friends farm in Mississippi. Green beans and corn are from my neighbors back yard garden.

Hope everyone has a great CHRISTmas. And anyone that has little ones at home, hope the fat man is good too them.

Good idea. I just called my husband and asked him to pick up ground beef and sausage.

Christmas we do at my parent's place. Mom's cooking a roast, a ham and gumbo along with numerous sides from her kitchen as well as some from my four brothers.

Christmas Eve is just my wife and I along with our two boys (19 & 25 yrs). Our traditional holiday main course is a ponce. For the non-cajuns, this is a beef stomach filled with seasoned pure-pork sausage stuffing that is then smoked in outdoors the old fashoined way. It will be cooked by your's truly in a black iron pot. It makes a super gravy and will be served with rice, rice dressing, corn maque choux, smothered potatoes, etc...

Hope everyone has a great one!

[Swissman]

A tender bison ribeyesteak made in the frying-pan. It stays in the pan for only 90 seconds per side. We seasoned the meat only with black pepper and salt.
Anyting mors is a sin. We had mashed poatoes and green peppersauce with the steak. NO ketchup or barbecue-sauce allowed!!

And a bottle of a italian 2007 Primitivo. The brand is "epicuro".
It tastes like if an angel pees in your throat . (This is Swiss-slang and no bad words)

We will be having our traditional Christmas dinner of tamales. Red chili w/pork and green chili w/pork, covered with red or green chili sauce with more pork in it. Cheese and onions on top. Refried beans on the side.
First I have to get through a sausage, egg, potato and toast brunch. I don't think I am going to go hungry today.
Merry Christmas to all of you.
