Whats on the menu for the holidays?

We have switched to all grilled cheese sammies...

Instead of the usual Christmas lasagna (everything from scratch, except the cheese), my wife and her mother are making homemade gnocchi w/ fontina (Val d'Aosta, none of the Wisconsin crap) cream sauce. While I love Christmas lasagna, homemade gnocchi knocks it out of the park - plus, its been a couple years since theyve made it.

Christmas Eve is a prime rib, Christmas Day is going to be turkey, lobsters and probably a ton of appetizers/sides

Yeah, you better plan on a plus one crashing the party

We had Oysters Bienville last night (Anniversary), so will save rest of seafood for New Year's.

Tomahawk Ribeyes, fettuccini al fredo, Caesar salad, potato rolls. Maybe throw a vegetable in for keto/carb relief.

Thanksgiving pretty much did us in for sweets with pumpkin and pecan pies, and one of our neighbors made us a rum cake, so we're good on sweets.

I was thinking of putting all the grouse in a brine the night before, for our pot pie. Is it worth doing?

Absolutely brine it 24 hrs, only good things happen from brining. I prefer a citrus brine, ymmv

Thanks @millerkiller77 ! Here is the first meal of the day. French toast with mascrapone, apple/cherry jelly, raspberry preserves and maple syrup. Somebody (mr.paulrevere) ate all the bacon yesterday so we didn't get to enjoy any today.

Pre Christmas prime rib. The plan was to eat it this evening but I signed up for OT so we made it last night.

I feel like prime rib is the official meat of Christmas. That's looking really good.. I'm hungry

Prime rib, au gratin potatoes, green bean casserole, sweet patatoe casserole and an apple pie for dessert. Wife is working so I’ve been the one in the kitchen this year. Patatoes turned out good, pie looks alright but really smells good. Should be easy work tomorrow.

Biscuits and antelope sausage gravy for brunch today.

 

[OntarioHunter]

Frosted chocolate chip cookies and coffee. That'll be a significant accomplishment for this culinary challenged old guy.

 

[Devilscrown]

Going to start by warming up with some smoked poppers

I've got some moose chili simmering on the stove. Back strap for dinner.
