Hit the wrong key
Planned to smoke a 3# butt today, but came down with the flu last night.

I had the flu 2 weeks ago then struggled thru last week. Wound up back at the doc-in-box(Urgent Care) yesterday morning with pneumonia. Been a struggle to motor from the bed to the recliner so no cooking or festivities here until next weekend. ...

Wishing you the best on recovery.
I'm fairing much better than 8 years ago when I had the flu and then a month later pneumonia.

I grew up in a Calabrian household where Christmas Eve was the Feast of the Seven fishes. Then I married a Texan who severely dislikes fish. Christmas Eve became the Feast of One Fish My Wife Will Eat. Today was crab cakes.

Tomorrow is Mexican food, another of her traditions.

I'm actually less than an hour away from Madisonville, so we're going with a Benton's country ham, and a prime rib this year.

 

[Chris_in_SoCal]

I went with non traditional but what I felt like eating. A Christmas Fajita burrito. At least I dressed it up like a Christmas tree.

Thanks Rich! These were 1.5" rib-eyes, SPG then lightly brushed with Italian dressing while grilled. Flavor was superb. Tails from a shipper out east, grilled for 6-7 minutes. Wine was kick-ass too

Nothing fancy, just the usual...
Lots of vacuum sealing tomorrow.

Had our big family meal Saturday. Today was just a lounging hanging at the house day. Made a. Breakfast casserole and pancake muffins. Some with fruity pepples, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and some with chocolate chips. Should give us snacks to get us through the day.



Hope y’all are having a great day!

So, because every Christmas he tried (and most times, failed) to make Yorkshire Pudding, I built a menu around trying (and hopefully not failing) to do it myself. So, it's smoked Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding (with Stove Top as a backup), roasted brussel sprouts, hericot verts and mushroom gravy.

So, I was successful with the Yorkshire Pudding, and the smoked Prime Rib (steady at 250 for a little over 3 hours) turned out great. Skipped the roasted burssel sprouts, because my wife wasn't in the mood. Everything tasted amazing though!

Looks really good. Nice job!

And I am making Yorkshires to go along with my 18 hour brisket and orange glazed carrots and gnocchi.

Years ago Diners Drive-ins and Dives did an episode in my town at Tomahawk Restaurant (North Vancouver, BC) he declared they made the best Yorkshire puddings, I found the clip years ago and it has been my goto recipe. Here is the clip for your enjoyment.

Cheers
