Christmas Eats In Your Household
« on: Today at 11:47:23 AM »
I'm in charge this year at my place, small gathering, so the leftovers are going to blow up Keto living for the foreseeable future.  I have a pretty good dose of (recent) will power, but not that much.

Details forthcoming.  Alone in the office, very long list of crap to work on, but I tend to find reasons to procrastinate--I think that's another prereq for the career choice--and especially when tasks I really don't wanna f'ing do await.

I'm an esteemed guest at my little brother's house

So, I just wait around for someone else to prepare the food!

I'm a very patient man.
Especially when drinks are plentiful

Christmas Eve, probably start at noon and have the Sean Connery Board ready around 4:

My mother's cheese ball:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 jar of Old English
" " Pimento Spread
~8 ounces sharp cheddar shredded cheese
Combine and roll in chopped pecans.

Jalapeno Jelly/Cream Cheese
8 oz, dump a small jar of jalepeno jelly over the top

Baked Brie, take a wheel and put sauteed onions on top, wrap in frozen puff pastry dough and bake, daughter has procured the cheese already.

Bunch of fancy cheeses, summer sausages, and sliced deli meats.

Tonight (engagement-versary) - Wife and I will go to our local wine bar where we got engaged on Dec 23, 2017, and legally married the following March. Might eat a lighter meal there, or might go over to the Italian spot next door for dinner.

Christmas Eve - No kids this year. Wife and I are doing paella.

Christmas Day - Have the kids starting Thursday until New Year's morning + BIL's family. 11 total. His wife's bringing appetizer and dessert. We're doing prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls.

Friday - Wife's "sibling Christmas" which is all 4 of her siblings (incl her) and families at BIL's house. 18 total. Not sure of the exact menu, but it'll be Italian. Wife is making tiramisu.

Saturday - Wife's traditional "Christmas Eve" celebration with her girlfriends (and now their families), at our house. 13 total. This year's theme is fiesta, so we'll be doing chips & salsa/guac, carne asada and carnitas tacos, crema rice, cilantro lime rice, pinto beans, and churros for dessert.

Then we head into New Year's...

NYE - Boeuf bourgignon over mashed potatoes. Wife will also make a chocolate bundt cake for dessert.

NYD - Kids head back to their mom's so we're going to sugar them up with cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then send them on their way. Then watch football, and will make Michael Symon's lucky pork stew for the two of us for dessert.

Tomorrow it's just us and we are going on a golf cart ride to deliver presents to our friends inside the walls here in the Marina.

After we will come home to crab legs, asparagus and baked potatoes.

Christmas Day we are having all of those friends over for an open house. Everyone will bring something. I'm making meatballs, and we'll have the Sean Connery (I like this name) board and veggie board too.

I'll be drinking my new favorite vodka. TopCraft out of St. Louis.

NYE we are going to a party at the local bar inside the walls of the Marina. It's a blast.

The Perfect Caper – Punta Gorda, FL

01/04 is packing.

Gotta mix in some boating too.

I'm really going over the top tomorrow, but damn it, that's how I grew up!

Spiral-cut ham, Cranberry-Orange Marmalade I have done, u-tube the Meat Church guy for that, it's Fantastic
Turkey Breast, undetermined but will probably do a cajun rub and stuff butter under the skin.  
Both of those go on the Traeger.

Cheesy baked Hashbrown Potatoes
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole
Cheesy Corn Casserole

Better than Sex Cake (not the pudding version my MIL makes)
Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream (No sugar added, and what a big difference that will make)

I suggested we dine at our favorite Thai place, my wife demurred.  Just the two of us this year.

Over Thanksgiving weekend the big group went to a Thai place in a dumpy looking strip mall near the Air Force Base in Wichita.  Probably didn't need to give both descriptions, anything near a military base is dumpy.

However, we ordered family style and tons of it, and it was freaking fantastic.  

And nothing got graffiti'd or stolen while we were inside, which was a bonus.

Looks like a nice and and beginning of the year.

I'm going to have to drag myself in and work next week, since my children conned us into taking a cruise for a week starting the 11th.
