We decided not to do a fancy sit down meal so I'm firing up the smoker and fryer!

Fried Turkey

Smoked Ham

Spares

ABTS

Pork Shots

Smoked Mac and Cheese

Sweet Potato Casserole

Strawberry Cake

What's on your menu??

Sounds better than any sit down dinner!! I'll be at the in-laws' place. She usually makes lamb, which I've always found a little ironic. It's always delicious, however.

So far I'm smoking a ham

 

[worktogthr]

I'm smoking a bone-in brined pork roast stuffed with peppers, onions, garlic, bacon and blue cheese and some cheese stuffed sausage meatballs, wrapped in bacon... The unsmoked food will include prime rib (I know I know I should smoke it but I'm cooking to the crowd), chicken francese, Spaghetti with Sunday Gravy (which includes spare ribs, meatballs, hot and sweet Italian sausage, beef shanks, and veal shoulder), roasted asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a salad with feta, Craisins, and homemade sweet and spicy pecans. Glad I have off this week... I'm going to be busy.

big leg o lamb in the pit!!!!!!! I love lamb

 

[tc fish bum]

hey" work"did you finally get your sunday gravy like grandma yet? caus if you didn't, what your

making  now sounds great.

 

[leah elisheva]

These meals all sound so fabulous!

I'm starting with raw oysters and raw clams...

And then for the main course am making Steak Tartare, with New Zealand Grass Fed Ribeye & New York Strip cuts...

And then the meat's fat is trimmed and seared & chopped and then put into a side of black rice, as "cracklings," and with smoked mango and chopped fresh chives. (And lots of wine paired with it).

For an "after-tizer" I'm serving some spicy smoked strawberries, with raw chopped elephant garlic, olive oil, cayenne pepper and sea salt on them; and then coffee.

Happy Easter shopping & prep work to all!!!!!

Cheers!!! - Leah

LOL That was our plan too, until the wife tasted her first smoked pork butt last weekend and said 'screw it, smoked baby backs it is!'

 

[foamheart]

Anyone check the crawfish prices?

Wow. That's a breakthrough...run with it , man!

At RD $2.45 lb in the sack.   No crawfish for Good Friday this year.  At those prices the rich people can have them.
