First time without family
I’m not sure what I’m having. I will probably make a roasted fennel and cauliflower soup... alongside a Tofurky roast I bought at thanksgiving that’s in the freezer. Nothing set in stone yet

Reverse searing a prime rib right now for tonight, Potatoes in bechamel, asparagus and yeast rolls. Trifle for dessert for both days.
Christmas is smoked lamb leg imported from Iceland, red cabbage, potatoes in bechamel again, peas and carrots.

Christmas morning we'll have our traditional cinnamon toast with Christmas sprinkles, and some breakfast casserole (sausage, bell peppers, egg, cheese, topped with tater tots). And then I'll be staying home with a sick kid while my wife and healthy kids go to the inlaws. So, not sure what I'll be eating the rest of the day. Probably leftovers.

Christmas Eve is just the wife and I. I used to do a gumbo with Thanksgiving turkey leftovers (frozen of course). Lately I’ve been doing Italian. This year will be cicken parm. I’ll have some old fashioneeds and open a nice bottle from one of our Napa trips. Christmas family comes over. I usually either grill a turkey or tenderloin. This year we got a Turducken from Chris’ market. Never had one and want to try it. I’ll also do baked macaroni, mashed potatoes and gravy, biscuits and cranberry. The turducken has stuffing. I also usually bake pecan pies but feeling lazy this year. We’ll get one already made.
Quoting myself. Father in law had to check into the hospital due to blood clots in his urine. Not pleasant and he’s 99 which makes everything worse.
So Christmas Eve was scratched with wife at hopital. We shared a pre-prepared tomato soup and wheat bread sandwiches with cheese and ham when she got home around 10. I did use a sandwich maker so they were toasted and fancy. And the ham was a Spanish ham similar to prosciutto my wife got for her dad...he’s from Spain. The cheese was meant for the baked macaroni tomorrow.
At least I got my Old Fashioneds,
Turducken is now in the freezer. Tomorrow will be my Dad and me eating chicken parm with the wife and brothers in law at the hospital. Last time my fil had this he spent 15 days in the hospital. Aside from his age it wouldn’t be a big deal other than the bad pain (which I don’t want to underestimate). Hopefully we’ll eat the planned Christmas dinner on New Year’s Day after LSU plays.

I know I'm waking up to oy-stuh dressin tomorrow.
This is the one time of year I just have to drink and not be responsible for food tomorrow and I'm ok with that.

We had our big family gathering last night and we're just having a few over for Christmas lunch. The wife and I will live on leftovers the next few days or until I get tired of them. We won't cook much again until New Year's Day.
