Christmas Dinner....what is on the menu?

[Infrequent Shooter]

Christmas Eve dinner. My GF cooked a turkey thigh. We had some storebought spiral cut ham. It was pretty darn good. She made some scalloped potatoes. Greenbeans and sliced pearl onions. Little bit of salad. Pinot Noir and Sauv Blanc. Small dinner for a change. Nice, easy, and relaxing. I had extra potatoes. Sugar cookies that will make you cry for dessert. And a bit of pecan pie.

I need to hear more about this meatloaf pls. sweet pot go into the loaf?

Yes sir. Heck, about half the pantry goes in there. Sometimes I use russets, but we do have a soft spot for sweets here. The bacon & cornbread dressing make it what it is, though. 700lbs+ of sons for taste testing has worked in my favor over the years, also.

New Year’s Day, same as the last 50 years. Pork butt roast with sauerkraut, onions, some sliced apples and Hungarian fresh sausage, over mashed potatoes. Mmm good

One of the best threads the last year. This group has some of the best reading ever.

What do you put in your black eyed peas? Yellow onions, celery, couple slices butter. Green onions, some chopped kale and slice of cornbread. I drain a can of Rotel. Cook in cast iron skillet. My first serving is about noon-thirty.

Pinnekjøtt is the best! Sadly I cannot for the life of me find it in neighbouring Sweden where I now live. BTW The secret to lutefisk other than good and correct ingredients is bacon. Good and proper lutefisk uses dried Cod, not Ling or Coalfish as some heretics outside Norway use

Bacon and white sauce and some lingonberries.

For years my grandfather would go to auction and buy an old sheep or two for salt ribs. The brine had enough salt when a potato floated, after the brine it hung in the cellar for a month, then the freezer. Soak and rehydrate for at least 24 hrs, steam in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes under pressure.

About 10 years ago I switched to the easy button, Costco racks of lamb, slice the ribs to individual bones, salt for ever, you can’t salt too much. I dry brine for a few days then wet brine for a few more, no rinse and put em in the fridge for a month, freeze if longer, they’ll continue to absorb salt. Soak em for 24 hrs right before cooking. Pressure cooker method. pretty easy and delicious!

The view out your kitchen window reminds me of my childhood on Whidbey Island. Recalling the smell of the ocean air and the sound of the waves, good stuff.
