Christmas Eve.. What is everyone cooking?
Just wondering..
I'm doing a prime rib, asparagus, and baked potatoes, with au jus. Next day is cannelloni. Yes, I like to cook.

Our traditional Christmas Eve dinner is clam chowder with some garlic cheesey bread. Christmas Dinner this year is Veal Parmesan, spaghetti w/meatballs and asparagus.

Re: Christmas Eve.. What is everyone cooking?
We are in the new house in WA and our daughter is visiting from CalPoly. She has been cooking up a storm: fancy soups from scratch, spaghetti with homemade meatballs (parmesan centers), omelettes, chicken casserole. We will eat out Monday in a huge log lodge called Heathman's Bar and Grill at the Heathman Lodge. I'll be having their Cajun style Shrimp and Grits.
Our new house overlooks a mile wide meadow with a small stream meandering through it. Straight across the other side is a small mountain called Green Mountain. On a clear day you can look upstream and see just the summit of St. Helens. Looking downstream is a complete and full view of Mt. Hood, completely covered in snow. I'm not close to my Sierra any more, but I am in some beautiful mountains up here.

Glad that you got the new home done. Sounds beautiful. The menu at the lodge looks great!

Christmas Day with daughter and family (1/2 hour drive) and prime rib with all the fixins. The next day we are heading south to snowbird for the Winter, so we are emptying the refrigerator. We are down to a few leftovers and canned soup. No fancy dinner tonight.

Me too for prime rib. Making Yorkshire pudding with the fat. My spuds will be mashed with roasted garlic. Gotta have something green , so it's brussels off the stalk roasted in duck fat. I'll sauté up some mixed mushys too...

I use a variation of this recipe for the brussels: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/brussels-sprouts-baconTahoeJeff wrote:Me too for prime rib. Making Yorkshire pudding with the fat.

All the drippings from the prime go into the Sage Jus. It with extra hot horseradish makes everything better. I don't get Yorkshire pudding.

Re: Christmas Eve.. What is everyone cooking?
Leftovers for us today. Hosted my side of the family last Sunday (17 adults/14 kids) with Italian. Last night hosted the missus side (16/5), italian again. Cooking turkey and ham for the kids and grand kids tomorrow.
No desire to hang out in the kitchen again today. Spending the time to start looking at trips for 2018.
