Christmas Eve as well?

My parents just tested positive for covid, so it’s going to just me, the wife, and the kids.

Might do tamales but not sure I want to do that much work.

I’ve got a 5 bone standing rib ordered from Calandros. Yorkshire pudding some green beans and another starch called tartiflette. I watched Chef John make it and it looks like a winner. Can’t buy reblochon cheese in the US but I have a big ripe Camembert I’ll use.

Tartiflette

I mean onion, bacon, potato and cheese. How can it not be good?

My fiancé’s family is Italian. Every year for Christmas, there is her family’s recipe of Meatballs and spaghetti, as well as a lasagna at this large daigo gathering. Her aunt also does a seafood gumbo.

We recently moved to Nashville and she has to work later that night at the hospital. So I’ll be doing a homemade lasagna and a chicken and aundoille gumbo to try and get a taste of home for her.

It's a busy day. so nothing impressive. I have kids and a lot of stuff to assemble and register. Coffee pot on at about 6am.

Morning is present opening then make sourdough cinnamon rolls from the dough that's been proofing all night. We also have Benton's bacon. It's salty, but the smokey flavor with the sweet cinnamon rolls just work.

After everything settles, I'll double smoke a spiral ham for about 2 -3 hours. We make sandwiches on potato rolls and eat with some of the reheated Christmas eve sausage and chicken gumbo.

I'm usually in bed by 6 or 7 PM.

Apparently somebody's not a seafood fan. The 2 answers with seafood dishes get downvoted? Weird.

My better half is Filipino and she wants to cook. So we are having a pork lechon, pancit, butter shrimp, pork adobo, sweet and sour red snapper. I’m still gonna make sausage balls so I can drink beer and nibble on them while she cooks.

We are also Italian so we do fried veal cutlets, salad, long macaroni and cheese, and my brother makes a phenomenal red gravy from scratch with meatballs, Italian sausage and chicken thighs

Prime rib and tamales Christmas Eve at my house. I’m frying turkeys for my in-laws Christmas Day because they can’t cook worth a shite.

Christmas Eve : prime rib, cream potatoes, Brussels, asparagus, ambrosia salad and sister Schubert rolls. Trifle for desert.

Christmas lunch: our icelandic traditional Christmas. Smoked lamb (hangikjot), peas and Carrots, leftover cream potatoes, red cabbage and ponnukokur for desert.



That’s is what we got shipped in. Blood sausage, hangikjot, smoked salmon for Christmas breakfast, sheep’s head, hardfiskur(fish jerky), tradition Iceland bread not posted.
