Whattya Makin' For Christmas Dinner?

[smokin5]

I just finished cooking up many pounds of sausage (hot and sweet), grating pounds of cheese (Parmesan and Romano), & cooking lots of spinach in advance preparation of the Christmas lasagna we are making for Christmas. We figured we'd go with the "red, green & white" motif this year.
With 6 guests, we figured we'd make dinner for 12 or more. Not bad for a heathen, huh?:ss

So....whattya making for Christmas dinner?

[RIsmoker]

Enough paste to make Fat Bastard from Austin Powers to cry with a red sauce made with lamb, Nuff' said.

[McSmokey]

Fried Turkey with a homemade Wild Turkey Cajun Injection and Tony Chachere's Cajun rub

My son would probably disown me if I didn't roast up a great big bird with all the fixins. Turkey dinner has been his favourite meal since he was 3 (he is 9 now) for him its a toss up between what is better presents or the feast.

[pmwz]

potatoe salad + sausages (one of the cristmas traditions that i dislike)

[Ashcan Bill]

I'm about ready to toss a turkey into the ol' brine pot.

[htown]

Roast turkey and fixings. For dessert will be sweet potato pie and pecan pie.

Well, Christmas dinner is the province of the In-laws. But our family tradition for Christmas Eve is Chinese food. Last night I made, Hot & Sour Soup, Chicken "rangoons" (mine are not all cream cheese!), Scallion pancakes and General Gau's chicken.
My 13 year old daughter made chocolate fondue for dessert.

[Demented]

We have potluck dinner parties 4 or 5 times a year. Tonight I’m making roast turkey, fresh baked Italian bread, mashed potatoes with roast garlic and green peppercorn gravy.

I am in CO with Family for Christmas so that means I am in charge of most of the cooking, tonight we are having a rosemary crusted prime rib, some decadent (read very fatty and delicious) mashed potatoes, asparagus, a cheese platter for an appetizer, and plenty of wine

[Ranger_B]

just finished my lunch of salmon and couscous. Flipped the steak in the marinade.

[captain53]

Turdukin with southern dressing and candied sweet potatos.

Right now I am enjoying Bloody Bulls while the cooking is taking place.

Hopefully it willl warm up enough to enjoy an EPC later in the afternoon.:tu

Merry Christmas to All!:)

[replicant_argent]

hopefully 4 fingers of Zaya in about 5 hours.

We are having a standing rib roast, creamed spinach and garlic mashed red bliss potatoes with a bottle of Mollydooker Carnival of Love!

Well ... I've decided to do a traditional Puerto Rican holiday dinner. Given that it's the first time that I've done this myself, it's been a three-day process. Four main dishes, plus dessert:


Arroz con gandules (rice with green pigeon peas)
Habichuelas rosadas con arroz blanco (pink beans with white rice)
Pasteles (green banana and root vegetable masa/cake stuffed with savory meat or veggie filling, wrapped in a green banana leaf, and boiled -- kind of resemble tamales except they're nothing like them. LoL!)
Pernil (pork shoulder picnic cut with skin-on, stuffed and marinated with mashed up garlic, onion, etc., and slow roasted)
Bizcocho de ron (rum cake with a rum glaze)

The pork is cooking right now (probably 3-4 hours left) and I'll do the rice and bean dishes closer to dinner time. I LOVE this kind of food!!!!!

No Italians here yet? Seafood feast on Christmas Eve has been my favorite meal of the year for as long as I can remember.

I made a perfect Prime Rib. Cooked it at 325 degrees until the internal temp reached 115.

We did the traditional turkey this year with all the trimmings, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for desert. Along with a couple bottles of fine wine, a good time was had by all, and the best part - leftovers!!

[The Poet]

My Christmas meal was ironic - I first watched Charlotte's Web, then stuck my ham in the oven.


Oink.
