Christmas Plans

[Gonna Smoke]

Once again Christmas is upon us. What's your plans? What are you cooking?

For us, we'll be home the 25th and I'm smoking a boneless whole ribeye. That's different than past years where I've smoked a bone-in one, but still the same. We'll have all the fixins to go with it and most of the gang will be here.

So what are you all doing?

Same here Charles .
meaning the same old same.

Not as many coming this year , and I was told that I did not havce to cook.
Started of at 12 folks in all, now down to just us 4 and 2 more, That will be quite for us.

But was just asked other day how I was doing everything
( so what happened to me not cooking , ha ha )

So will do up a big Christmas ham on the 24th and slice and reglaze to reheat in the BBQ on the 25th as the turkey will be in the oven then.

And I always do up a 12 x 24 pan of our famous ( lol ) potato and bread and summer savory stuffing/dressing and all the reg fixins.

Hi Charles!

My family and I will be heading over to my parents house on Christmas Day. My brother will be there a couple of family friends, who are basically family. My Mom is making homemade lasagna. I am smoking a couple of beef back ribs. And an oven cooked ham. We’ll have plenty of sides too.
Merry Christmas!

You know a guy really loves his potatoes when he adds them to his stuffing! DUH, why didn't I ever think of that?
And we love that summer savory! You should see my wife's face light up when she uses the roasted garlic oil with savory... thanks for that!

Christmas eve we go to her dad's for Christmas and our yearly feast on chicken and dumpling soup.
After that I'm not sure, but really thinking the potatoes recipe that civilsmoker posted in his recent thread needs to happen!

We always do our special meal on Xmas Eve. This year we're going Brazilian with two Wagyu Picanhas sliced with the grain salt & peppered then rubbed down with Refogado. Skewered into half rounds and grilled to med-rare. Salad with palm hearts, the obligatory baked potato and of course a very good Turley Cabernet

Glad you enjoy it.

When I smell a chicken or turkey cooking and there is summer savory in it , it just takes me back to many happy special times .
And of coarse the stuffing/ or dressing . Have to have enough for the Dressing and turkey sandwiches.

And I could go for a big bowl of that Chicken and dumpling soup , cool here today.

Hey Charles,

We have my in-laws (I call them outlaws) with us and my youngest son will be home from Virginia for about 10 days. So 6 of us total maybe 7.

Ham on Christmas Eve probably with scalloped taters. Then Christmas dinner will be prime rib bone in with lobster tails on the grill and some of my “melting potatoes “

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

This year is different. The kids said, "we want Granddaddy's smoked meatloaf". So I bought
5 pounds of ground beef, added my spices, and made 3 loafs. Into the smoker for about
3 hours. Had to wait until they all got to 165. The aroma is intoxicating filling the kitchen now.
We celebrate a few days early so that everybody can travel on the weekend.
