A standing rib roast is a good option that is still somewhat Christmasy. If Florida is going to be stupid warm like Texas is (forecast of 72 on Christmas  ), pretend it's spring and do a leg of lamb on the grill.If I had a blank slate to start my own Christmas tradition, it would be carnitas. Just a huge pile of crispy yet chewy pork, with tortillas, lime wedges, onions, and tomatillo salsa on the side, with people free to pig out or graze or whatever.

I just did a crockpot of mulled cider for a party, and it was a huge hit! People loved it, and it was pretty easy. 1 Gallon cider 1 whole orange, sliced thin 6-8 allspice berries 3-4 cinnamon sticks Heat it up until just before boiling and serve. The crockpot kept it warm, and made it easy to dispense BrianBoitano posted:Christmas eve is pork ragu on gnocchi in my house! Can I come? poo poo, BEATEN.

Delicious!

I just did mulled wine with a glugwein mix, and put some mix into a hot cider too. This led to a discovery that 1/3 cider 2/3 wine works really great!

Pollyanna posted:What are people making for Christmas lunch/dinner? My family's looking for recommendations and I wanted to recommend something that wasn't just a bird or ham. We'll be in Florida, so grilling is an option. Standing rib roast, yorkshire pudding, gravy, brussel sprouts, roasted tomatoes, charlotte russe for dessert.

I am splitting the meal up so we have what would normally be starters as our lunch, then the main course as dinner... It means the kids are actually hungry enough to join in! We’re having potted shrimp, smoked mackerel pâté and mushroom pâté for lunch, with meats, olives and antipasti. Dinner will be fillet, Yorkshire puddings, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, broccoli. Followed by homemade Christmas pudding and custard.

In case you are being like, extra British, we mean fresh pressed cider: no fermentation, so no booze, no carbonation. When I used to go cross-country skiing with my family, my mom used to bring a thermos of hot mulled cider. It's kind of amazing when you are cold in the woods.

Extra British. I am 100% talking about cider cider, which is alcoholic and not generally fizzy. Also fortified with apple brandy or similar.

Wife's family is Polish. The fish is pretty boring really. MIL has celiac so I just dredge cod chunks in a mix of eggs, yellow mustard and lemon juice, let that marinade for an hour then roll in cornmeal that's got salt and pepper tossed in. That all gets deep fried in peanut oil and I put a little more salt and lemon juice on to finish.

Fine, but suffers a bit from mass production. It’s also a bit too sweet and fizzy to make good mulled cider. Get anything a bit more local and it’ll be flatter and less sweet.

Mines not as bad as it sounds since a couple different family members pitch in on it every year at least. I need to make some babka though. Kolaches filled with pastry cream could work. Or savory kolaches are awesome. In Texas the czech immigrants make jalapeno sausage and egg stuffed ones that are amazing for example.

Do you go for a sweeter bourbon or something like Wild Turkey with some rye spice? or I could just make piña coladas because it's basically going to be a pleasant late spring day according to the forecast

It's just ATK's recipe. It's pretty good. Bourbon Sauce Makes about 1 cup 1½ teaspoons cornstarch ¼ cup bourbon ¾ cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons sugar Pinch salt 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces Whisk cornstarch and 2 tablespoons bourbon in small bowl until well-combined. Heat cream and sugar in small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in salt, butter, and remaining 2 tablespoons bourbon. Drizzle warm sauce over individual servings. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.)

I'm working 10:30-7:30 on Xmas, and then coming home and heading to bed because I think I'm back in at 6am the next day. Patients gotta eat and I get triple pay. Friday will be the uhh, fun-ish day. Or Saturday, one of those two days I'm planning to give my parents this letter and book and be like. "So uhh I'm not a guy, my name is Renee and like uhh. Hi."

Renee is a super good name. Mr. Wiggles posted:We're doing prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, assorted pies. Btw, this is for Christmas Eve at the in-law's. We're doing a much smaller Christmas Day dinner with just those who live in my house on the 25th, and it's gall going to be German stuff - spaetzle, rotkohl, etc. I just started the sauerbraten tonight.

I'm making duck breast with pineapple mostarda and hanger steak with bearnaise this year. My mom is making creamy rosemary potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts and sauteed spinach. I'm also doing the tropical egg nog we make at the restaurant I work at, which involves coconut cream and pineapple rum.

MIL has celiac so I just dredge cod chunks in a mix of eggs, yellow mustard and lemon juice, let that marinade for an hour then roll in cornmeal that's got salt and pepper tossed in. I wouldn't call that boring! I love fish, and its all in the cooking. Cod gets lost if you add too much flavor, so that sounds just about right. I miss the New England cod, I really do, but I can live with haddock. I love haddock! Pretty much any prep, but there is a bar near my house that does a baked Haddock Newburg, that might be my favorite. That Works posted:Wife's family is Polish. I've now eaten enough Polish food to have some opinions: -Mass-market branded kielbasa from the supermarket is garbage. Find a polish deli/butcher, or move to Woonsocket, where they sell locally made stuff at the supermarket. -Best perogies, by far, are filled with sauer kraut, its just the best taste and texture combination. I will die on this hill. -Cabbage rolls are best when they are SMALL, like maybe 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, bigger then rolled grape leaves. The ones from the Polish deli in Woonsocket are way too big, the size of big fat wet burritos. Perfectly cooked cabbage should be the star of the show, and if the rolls are too big, the filling-to-cabbage ratio is all wrong.

Squashy Nipples posted:I've now eaten enough Polish food to have some opinions: You are correct about kielbasa I wish everyone had access to a bohemian butcher like I do. The more variety you try you might like some other pierogis. My family's favorites are potatoes with cheese and crumbled bacon or another kind with mushrooms and feta. That sounds ok for cabbage rolls but they're not golabkis. That's all. Edit: sorry I misread and thought you were using literal grape leaves. So I guess those are golabkis, but really small. I like more filling. If you go to the holiday cooking thread my recipe for golabkis is on the first page if you want to get your gf to check it out. The tomato sauce really brings it all together and the kind you find at buffets never has it. Croatoan fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Dec 23, 2019 |
