Christmas meals

[Nick87]

My wheels haven been spinning trying to figure out how to incorporate some bluegill into the Christmas menu since I read your post. I think I’m going to go with a good rich creamy bluegill chowder!

I'm on my way.

I'm on my way.

I’ll be at the sawmill, pick me up on the way by.

I figured appetizers was a good way to go. Now I think your idea sounds better.

Fried bluegills sound better, but with everything else going between kids and other cooking I figured something a little less labor intensive would be good.

I’ll save the frying for New Year’s Eve. A big belly full of bluegill and a few beers should put me to bed by 9 or 9:30 and I’ll wake up to pee about 11:45, just in time to see the clock strike 12!

Tonight will be my Moms lasagna. Tomorrow I am putting a rib roast and lobster tails on the smoker. Will also fry some shrimp.

We might be late to dinner.

Something different for Christmas Eve tonight. Chilean sea bass, king crab legs and some Japanese A5 Wagyu ribeye.

I have a half a sockeye to smoke next week and a bag of panfish fillets to offset all the red meat I have been eating.
Grinding season is near.

Strictly surf for us..king crab, mussels, homemade bread for dunking, some vegetable, and pear pie.
Tonight we do fondue. Last night lamb meatballs.

This thread is fantastic. We made our family tradition Danish soup that we've made for generations. It's a 2 day process but totally worth it. Lots of appetizers, shrimp cocktail dip, pinwheels, pies, egg nog french toast for breakfast, and on and on. We still need to make lefse too, which will probably happen later in the week

Gonna try that dill pickle dip @brockel

Christmas tradition. Oyster roast with fresh shrimp and some crab legs. Good times

No jelly of the month club?

Even the option is asking for work place violence

Threw a prime rib on the traeger a little bit ago and already cooking way too fast. Reduced the temp down to next to nothing, hoping to slow it down while I wait on the in - laws.….

Christmas eve tradition:
Pheasant - browned then baked in a brown mushroom gravy. Green beans with a remoulade. Homemade lefse. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Dessert is a cranberry cake with lemon butter sauce, my favorite.

Christmas Day
Breakfast - Egg bake, homemade caramel rolls, fruit.
Dinner - Ham, potato casserole, xmas salad, homemade apple n pumpkin pie for dessert.

Pretty much all homemade, lots of recipes passed down as tradition, and amazing. Merry Christmas everyone!

Couldn't think of a better meal. Ribeyes, grilled shrimp, twice baked loaded potatoes, and bacon green beans? Kids are enjoying coke in glass bottles.
