Christmas Eve/Christmas menu

[Fire Me Boy!]

So what's on your menus?

It's just Mrs. FMB! and I this year - no family, just us at home - so we're taking it pretty easy. We're planning to spend a good portion of Christmas Day at the movies, so we're just going to do a meal on Christmas Eve, then do leftovers on Christmas day.

I picked up a HoneyBaked ham, and I'll do stuffing and potatoes (the wife won't let me off the hook for either of those). She'll do some kind of pie.

And after discovering the Duchesse De Bourgogne this afternoon, I'll be heading to the package store tomorrow to see what other Flanders ales they have in stock. And I've got a nice shiraz on standby.

[lewdog]

Totino's pizza and Natty Ice.

[NewChief]

We did shrimp and grits tonight with our family then had a fire in the back yard with s'mores. The rest of the holidays will be spent with grandparents, cousins, and extended family, so this was it for our core group. It was a nice, relaxing evening to serve as an appetizer for the madness to come.


Booze: Evan Williams, Hornsby Cider, and Boulevard Wheats.

[Buck]

Probably some kind of ham. Ham is fucking delicious.

[GloryDayz]

We traditionally do lasagna Xmas eve and Hawaiian steak Xmas day.

I'd rather just do chicken wings and ribs....

[KCFalcon59]

Prime Fucking Rib.

[Bugeater]

We're doing a standing rib roast.

[LiveSteam]

My aunt & uncle are cooking up a ham & doing BBQ ribs on the grill. My little one made 2 home made apple pies.
Meet tray & iced down shrimp & cocktail sauce as well. Not as good as Thanksgiving but still an awesome dinner.

[NewChief]

As for holiday ham: it ain't complete with out a Petit Jean meats peppered ham.

I actually used Petit Jean smoked bacon for my shrimp and grits tonight, but that was probably overkill.

[Rain Man]

We have dinner reservations Christmas Eve for a nice local restaurant. It serves steak and seafood, and I have plans for the king crab legs. Mmmmmm, king crab.

[KurtCobain]

Quick trip microwavable sandwiches for xmas eve, and for xmas I think I'm being dragged to the ex inlaws for ham.

[KurtCobain]

We're doing a standing rib roast.

Anything for rent in your neighborhood?

[NewChief]

Tomorrow night, btw, will involve king crab legs and filets.

When we go to my mom's it's a peppered ham and garlic cheese grits.

[Lonewolf Ed]

I'm making Danish soup, made of a clear beef based broth, small pork meatballs, egg dumplings, and sliced carrots. Homemade rye bread with butter on the side, followed by Carlsberg. I'll have aebleskiver for dessert, sort of like Danish donuts.

[Bugeater]

Anything for rent in your neighborhood?
There's an apartment complex right down the street.

[Sure-Oz]

Going to a Xmas party...unsure at this point other than Clam Chowder w/bacon.

Plenty of egg nog using my moose mug

[Bearcat]

Spiral ham with pineapple glaze, buffalo chicken mac & cheese, Red Lobster style cheese biscuits, a vegetable of some sort, and beer.

[DonkyPuncher]

lot's of family and Crown Black on the rock's

[KurtCobain]

There's an apartment complex right down the street.

No shit. What's the rent?

[Dallas Chief]

Tamales and booze

[DaKCMan AP]

In honor of Chinese food & movie day I will be smoking a turkey.

[Ceej]

White Russians.

[In58men]

Lots of booze.


My grandpa throws down a pork tenderloin and a whole prime rib. Tons of snacks, more then what we can eat.

[Lumpy]

I don't know about Christmas Eve, but Christmas Day we'll have all the same fixings as Thanksgiving, (turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, etc.). Nothing special.

[Al Czervik]

Christmas Eve - King Crab Legs and Shrimp
Christmas Day - Honey Baked ham and Pheasant Chowder

[trndobrd]

And after discovering the Duchesse De Bourgogne this afternoon, I'll be heading to the package store tomorrow to see what other Flanders ales they have in stock. And I've got a nice shiraz on standby.

Where did you find this? I'm a huge fan of Sour Brown ales since getting hooked on Rodenbach back when I lived in Ghent. Look for anything with "Oude Bruin" on the label and you will be in good shape.

Roast beef.

[BucEyedPea]

Prime Rib, creamy horseradish sauce on the side, giant popovers, field green salad, sour cream and chive mashed taters and roasted veggies. Cabernet Sauvignon red wine. Dessert: platter of various homemade cookies, cake and coffee.

[Saccopoo]

Fresh ham (not that cured, pre-sliced horseshit), trifecta potatoes au gratin, some fucking cheesecake I haven't decided upon, some veggie shit...maybe a stuffed mushroom thing, maybe some creamed spinach...

Or maybe I'll go and get a bunch of $1 McRibs. Them fuckers be tasty, yo.

:drool: I gotta stay out of this thread. I'm getting a 20 piece McNugget meal. I won't be able to see my family until Jan 8, thanks to work. Hope to get a good meal then.

How do you make buffalo chicken mac and cheese? If you don't respond, expect copious amounts of PM's and Facebook harassment until you do. This is very important. :D

[Mr. Flopnuts]

This thread makes me a little sad. :(

I wish I could gather you poor fuckers that are going to be alone on Christmas and cook you up a gourmet meal.

[Great Expectations]

I've got a brisket on The Big Green Egg for tonight. Tomorrow night we are having prawns and lamb chops.

[HonestChieffan]

Prime rib..... has to be room temp before you put in oven...


Oven at 500....roast 15 minutes
Reduce heat to 325

Should take 13-15 min per pound

Meat therm at 125-130.....remove from oven, foil tent, let stand 20-30 min.

Thats rare/medium rare

[Easy 6]

Prime rib, roasted garlic mashed taters, green bean casserole.

My temps are a bit different, but same method

450 for 30 min
300 for 1 hr ish

I pull at 105-110 for rare. We like it very rare though. Use an instant read thermometer for best results.

We usually do meat fest-baked ribs, sausage and meatballs the size of small apples.

But we had it with family over the weekend.

So we are moving to steak and shrimp ON THE GRILL.
I had to get more gas for the grill today.

Tonight-the lowest temp of the season and I will be outside grilling.
Oh well-its Christmas.

Merry Everything.

[displacedinMN]

Wife says yes. SHe is a great cook.

But why would anyone want it well done? That is blasphemy.

[Ceej]

Dude... if you're going to destroy that fine piece of meat, you should have bought a round roast.

[Saccopoo]

I hope you didn't spend money on a true Prime piece of beef.

A freaking pot roast is all you need for a well done hunk of meat.

They wanted medium to medium well, not much pink.

[LiveSteam]

I'm so hungry

[shakesthecat]

Cook it med rare to medium, like it's supposed to be.

You can always slice it up and throw it under the broiler for a few minutes for your guests.

You can un-ruin it.

Pork enchiladas tonight

Mushroom risotto tomorrow. Sounds kind of sparse compared to some of the spreads you guys are having, but the flavor is fantastic, intense, and complex and serving anything else with it would just be a distraction.

Although I see your point, but to me that's just screaming for a fillet mignon

[Frazod]

Tonight we're meeting the inlaws at a nice Italian place. Unless they have a special that really blows me away, I'll be getting a lobster in asiago cream sauce pasta dish.

Tomorrow, dinner at the inlaws cooked by the MIL, which will not feature turkey :grr: but will feature her epic fail runny/lumpy mashed potatoes :grr: unless my sister-in-law bails us out and volunteers to cook them. :grovel:

I have found that the Natty Ice has a smoother taste when combined with the Tostino's three meat pizza as opposed to just the Pepperoni. Maybe something to do with the Italian sausage?

I hear ya buddy... I don't know where the wife was raised, but she's got a phobia about undercooked food. So if i leave it to her, everything would be leather... She'll look at to places and go with the highest opinion, then not understand foods, depending, will rise 5-10 degrees after coming off the grill. Oh well.... She's learning not to ask!

What are those flakes?

[patteeu]

My wife made an outstanding lasagna last night. She and all the womenfolk (sisters, daughters, and nieces) have been baking a lot. I'm not a big sweets eater. I did like the cherry-blueberry pie they made though.

The daughters and nieces have plans to make homemade ravioli with my mother in a couple of days.

[GloryDayz]

What are those flakes?

Stuff from the top of the smoker... I saw that and fixed that today. That being said, it tasted really awesome; maybe I'll make "top of smoker flakes" into the next secret rub...
