Passing that along to the wife.

Homegrown ham and au gratin taters tonight, still deciding on a glaze. My aunt is doing prime rib and Yorkshire pudding tomorrow. Definitely trying some elk with that whisky butter when we get some cut up.

I want BHR's and Gellar's seafood lasagna recipe myslef!!

As for the Whiskey Butter if anyone is interested:

2 sticks unsalted butter
2 shallots, soaked overnight in whiskey (Locally sourced spirits lol)
3 teaspoons minced parsley
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire
4 teaspoons whiskey (I use what’s left from the shallot soak)
+ 1 shot for myself (optional?...no, not really)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Ground white pepper to taste

Combine butter, shallot, parsley, mustard, Worcestershire, whiskey, salt, and white pepper.
Mix well and drop butter in spoonfuls onto waxed paper.
Roll in plastic and smooth out to form a round log.
Refrigerate until hard and easy to cut, at least 3 hours.
Stores in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

I think you missed step 1. Over a glass of ice pour yourself a drink.

Read closely my friend, read closely... I did place it a touch further down the list, after all the math

Bushel of oysters my nephew harvested Sunday, raw and steamed; fresh Carolina shrimp, fried and boiled; and steamed crab legs. Probably throw a steak on the grill. homemade caramel cake. My favorite meal of the year.

Forgot- a glass or 2 of bourbon

That looks great as always! Pickled carrots/jalapeños? Also what’s in the plastic topped container far left with the lettuce garnish?
Almost forgot! Merry Christmas to you and yours bud!

 

[OntarioHunter]

TV dinner I think. Make some chocolate chip cookies. Cooking for myself is always a challenge.

 

[cahunter805]

Not sure exactly what’s on the menu tonight but I’m sure some Hors d’oeuvres of cheese, crackers and elk summer sausage, tamales, lots of Christmas cookies and desserts, plenty of beers and drinks also.
Tomorrow morning a Christmas brunch with family that will probably fill everyone for the rest of the day especially with all the mimosas! Prime rib at some point at family’s house also.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

I believe we are having a pretty simple dinner. Salmon, baked sweet potato and asparagus. Beef Tenderloin tomorow.

Here is the seafood lasagna recipe my wife roughly follows. I’m sure she changes some things, if you don’t have halibut substitute any firm white fish.
Summer Seafood Lasagna
Ingredients
Alaskan Summer Ale Recipes
Seafood

• · 8 tbsp. salted butter
• · 16oz. halibut
• · 3 cloves garlic
• · 2/3 cup white flour

• · 1 cup chicken broth
• · 1 cup Alaskan Summer Ale
• · 2 cups whole milk

• · 1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• · 8oz. mozzarella cheese

Methods/steps
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp. butter. Add halibut, garlic and thyme. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add remaining butter to skillet. Stir in flour and salt until smooth; cook and stir until golden brown. Gradually add broth, beer and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
In a greased 13x9 baking dish, layer half of each of the noodles, halibut, shrimp, spinach and white sauce. Repeat layers and add cheese.
Cover and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 20 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Thanks @Gellar! Will have to give that a go, maybe even a mix of ‘butt, shrimp, and scallops!

My wife does shrimp, but she doesn’t care for scallops so she leaves those out.
