ribeye roll


Ok, you got my attention.

---

It's just another term for a whole ribeye, prime ribeye or whatever. I plan on smoking it till 115 deg at the house then taking it to my FIL's and searing the shite out of it on his Egg before we eat it.

All I have to cook is a root beer ham.....

Well have turkey, dressing, petite pois.....

But will those petit pois be in a roux? Dang, I love petit pois (or baby green limas) in a roux. Serious bayou home cooking, right there.

White Sangria
Cheese board with nuts, crackers, honey, etc.
Baked goat cheese topped with pepper jelly, toast to dip
Deviled Eggs
Balsamic Chopped Salad
Beef Tenderloin
Shrimp Scampi, no pasta
Mashed sweet potatoes
Cheesy baked potato casserole
Garlic lemon green beans
Parmesan baked squash and zucchini
Dinner rolls
Homemade buttermilk Pie
Misc desserts from others

Have a few quarts of pot roast gravy I froze from making Matty Matheson's roast, so will defrost that for the gravy boat.

This is Friendsgiving, not Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day could either be the traditional meal with family, or Dome food, or frozen pizza on my couch. Still waiting on the results for that.

If the wife (no pics) and I stay home, it will probably be this:

Apps - Baked Brie, Charcuterie Board w/Cheeses, Deviled Eggs
Mains - Smoked Gobbler, Stuffing, Sauteed Shrooms, Garlic Mashed Taters, Sauteed Hericot Verts (served with pinky in the air), Salad
Desert - Pie

Proteins and shrooms are my wheelhouse, wife is on sides and dessert.

Yes, a light brown roux made with butter.

I’ll smoke turkeys and make cornbread dressing with giblet gravy. The ladies will make the rest of the spread.

Tried the pie recipe on the Steen's Bottle to the letter a couple of weeks ago. Overall I liked it a lot. It's different....seemed sweeter and richer than the Karo pie. My taste buds could detect the Steen's flavor, but personally didn't find it over whelming. Wife uses dark Karo for regular pie. The Steen's was darker. At some point will try 1/2 Karo 1/2 Steen's with no flour or cornstarch. Recommend the Steen's recipe.
