[Iron Woode]

I will be making a seasoned chicken with cornbread stuffing, fresh garlic bread and steamed mixed veggies.

I will probably just have a friend or 2 over for supper.

It'll be ham and stuff. Right now the wife is in improvisation overdrive. Our oven just broke and I can't get the part until after Christmas. Control board is overheating. She can bake/roast if there is a fan pointed at the front of the oven and you don't do any opening and closing (no cookies ). She said she will NOT be cooking tomorrow with a fan pointed on her. So, she can bake/roast today and reheat with what we have or do some McGyvering tomorrow: stove top + stand alone roaster + toaster oven + electric griddle + electric wok + slow cooker + gas bbq (I already shoveled a path in the snow).

I bet we come out unscathed.

Our stove was older then dirt and the door would not close tight. So there was no seal around the door to speak. In-laws asked what we wanted for Christmas and I said a stove. Lo and behold we have a new stove and it works great.

We had a ham for Christmas Eve dinner. Glazed with honey and orange juice, served with potatoes, beans, peas, and salad. Brilliant. Had the leftovers for lunch.

 

[eldorado99]

We're having duck.

 

[Turin39789]

First Christmas meal last weekend was the traditional chili(with beans) at my parents, tonight was a turkey with the trimmings at her folks, and tomorrow will be a turkey, ham, every casserole and dessert imaginable at my extended family.

Of course the baby just gets milk every day. Really need to get around to making a thread about her.

 

[Howard]

Turkey
Asparagus
Brussels sprouts
Roast potatoes
Garlic bread
Creme brulee

Sparse, but suitable.

Our stove was older then dirt and the door would not close tight. So there was no seal around the door to speak. In-laws asked what we wanted for Christmas and I said a stove. Lo and behold we have a new stove and it works great.

This stove is only five years old and I knew coming in it was prone to have control board issues, but guess who didn't want a stove with that commercial look that every stove had except the Jenn Aire. Well, she got her way. Then she looks at me and says maybe we shouldn't be worried about sunk costs and should get another stove. I might have been a wee bit testy when I reminded her why we had this stove and that a replacement would be $1300 (slide-in) and this stove was $1600 because it's a convection and the part is only $200.

 

[AmerDoux]

French onion soup topped with a good crusty bread & gruyer cheese (melted under the broiler), mixed green vegetables blanched to al dent and then saute'd with shallots and butter, potatoes au gratin, and prime rib. Desert is a warm croissant bread pudding with sprinkles of dried cherries and chocolate chips inside and a side of good vanilla bean ice cream. Drinks include a nice brandy and dry sherry.

 

[Nintendesert]

I had Ramen noodles and some cookies.

In what order?

Lasagna, of course.

 

[adairusmc]

Prime rib, on my Traeger grill.

 

[ElFenix]

had lasagna for dinner tonight, rib roast tomorrow

 

[senseamp]

Haven't had dinner yet, but I only have caviar, carrots and wine in my house, so it kind of narrows things down.

 

[sportage]

Some fat guy in a red suit got stuck breaking in the house thru the chimney. Raging fire. He should be done about 7am. Smells like chicken cooking. If that doesnt work out, we caught a rat in the trap last night. Slow cooking in the toaster oven right now, on low.

 

[mwtgg]

Potato chowder, rib roast, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and a sherry cake.

 

[child of wonder]

Ribeye roast brazed in EVOO and seasoned with Famous Dave's Steak seasoning then slow cooked in the oven with roasted baby red potatoes with onions, garlic, butter, and dill.

 

[lokiju]

Picked up a honey baked ham big enough to feed the 16 people that'll be at our house tomorrow. We'll have mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and corn bread. We have a pecan and pumpkin pie. We also have a red velvet cake and will make some sugar cookies.

[nageov3t]

we do Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day brunch.

I made this last night for dinner tonight:

triple layer chocolate mousse cake... of course, I haven't taken it out of the pan yet, so we'll see if it actually looks like that tonight.

cake was great, everyone loved it.

my only complaint is that the bottom layer tasted more like a cake than a mousse (while the top 2 layers were definitely mousse)

 

[DrPizza]

The roast came out perfect! Medium rare, almost from edge to edge. Cooking at 200F for an extra couple hours really paid off. 5 pies are done (the timer is going off warning me about 5 minutes left on my apple pie), bread is done, everything's right on schedule.

 

[RavenSEAL]

I had ribs, awesome, bbq ribs

 

[OVerLoRDI]

We had goose, along with a lot of the thanksgiving style fixings. It was fantastic. I'm mostly just neffing here so I have an excuse to type on my new keyboard.

Rosewill mechanical keyboard is fantastic if anyone was wondering.
