We thought our Christmas dinner with my wife's parents might get scuttled, and were trying to figure out what to do instead. 

I told my wife "Hey, it's Christmas, and we're Jewish*, so let's cook some Chinese food!"

But it turns out our plans are on, so that's off the menu.

Damn. I was hoping to get some use from the Sichuan and Hunan cookbooks I've bought.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.  The only day my husband and son do not have to work, so will be the four of us for dinner (me, hubby, son, and my sister).  Glazed ham, potatoes, gravy, deviled eggs, veggies (haven't decided on what ones yet) and dinner rolls.  Very simple dinner and then on to playing Quiddler, Yahtzee, or Zilch.  No one will play Trivial Pursuit with me (my son says I am a font of useless info, lol), so it's usually card games.  Maybe Monopoly if I can find the board.  Then I will watch over the next few days:  Star Trek Discovery, Stephen King's The Stand, and a new show on Netflix:  Bridgerton which is a series based on books by Julia Quinn - my guilty pleasure romances, ha ha.  

Everyone stay safe and warm - we have blowing snow and cold right now so I am going to bundle up and binge watch old episodes of Star Trek Enterprise or Longmire.

Yeah, 55.5% "Eastern European" with likely matches Poland and the Ukraine, possible match of Lithuania. Another 22.5% Ashkenazi. And 15.6% German. That's 93.6% of me.

I guess I'm not very diverse.

I often feel "down" this time of year, probably some because of short daylight hours.  I also dislike the "pressure" of buying gifts for folks and appearing to be delighted with gifts I receive.  I guess the logical part of my brain doesn't really work with the concept very well.  I understand it better with young kids.  Now I just send checks, go buy what you want. 

My step son offered me a 2.5 hour Porsche drive on a racetrack down near the airport, which was pretty thoughtful of him really.  He's doing it himself.  I'm going to watch.

I don't fit very well in a Porsche.  He said he has a GT3.

I don't suppose they'd let me drive a "Vetter around their dinky track.

Merry Christmas!  
I'll be spending it alone, working on orders.  I might make a traditional meal for myself or just hit up the chinese place I frequent.  

Driving around this evening, there were 3 insane near-crashes, as everyone is driving like maniacs.  I don't understand how we let things like a holiday turn us  into raving lunatics.  To get that toy.  To make that gravy.  To suckle that tit.  
.
Idk, it seems any event that people want to be perfect stresses them out too much.  I'm glad I don't suffer from that malady.  I'll have a margarita and wish Jimmy Buffett a Happy Birthday.

Many paratroopers in WWII  got killed getting caught by the tail/stabiser but  point taken




What is truly amazing is that there are people that have actually survived it.
I was watching "Why Plane's Crash" or when or sum such on the Weather Channel.There was a young girl - forget where/when got sucked out of a descending Air Liner when lightning struck it blowing a hole in the fuselage.She fell thru a canopy of trees  and into either hay or snow and lived relatively unscathed

So, what is everyone doing for food today, tomorrow, NYE, NYD?

Today will be homemade fried shrimp and pan-seared triple tail with a side of broccoli.

Tomorrow will be Alton Brown's Roast Turkey, with mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce and green bean casserole.

Not sure about NYE yet - Costco will decide that.

For NYD, Feast of the Seven Fishes is on the docket. Here is my planned menu, with wine pairings:

Tonight it's smoked pork tenderloin and cranberry chutney, twice baked potatoes, jalapeno sausage cheese grit casserole, and my my mom's chocolate cake.

Tomorrow is basically Thanksgiving redux-- turkey, cornbread dressing, sweet taters, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie.


NYE we'll  be camping, so it's steak night cooked over mesquite coals, asparagus, potatoes au gratin, and Bordeaux, with a cava toast at midnight.

Tonight we have the kids, and keep them until 11 AM tomorrow when they go to their mom's. 

So tonight is the fancy dinner with the kids, going to do tri tip and shrimp, cheese potatoes [a casserole], brussels sprouts, and then have some Christmas cookies (wife and the kids are baking all day) for dessert. 


Tomorrow night we're headed to the in-laws. Wife's stepmom will be making enchiladas. So there will be lots of "fold in the cheese" jokes.

NYE I think is going to be Julia Child's beef bourguignon. Not sure what it'll be paired with. 

NYD not sure yet... It'll be our last hurrah before trying to cut back on calories [and booze] so it might be blowing out the calorie budget... Hell, we might just order pizza.

Oyster Stew with grilled ham & cheese sammiches tonight.

Not sure if either daughter or both will be here tonight.

If both daughters can be here tomorrow at the same time I'll grill 4 Kansas City bone-in strip steaks I received as a gift. Mashed taters, veggies and plenty of wine.

NYE I'm attending a party at my cousin's house.  I'll let the ladies provide the food.  It's usually party snacks.  I could take a summer sausage & cheese tray.  I'll have a fresh bottle of Bombay and tonic and limes.

not sure about NYD.  Whatever sounds good at the time with football.  Smoked beef sausage from Kiolbassa, San Antonio and homemade kraut will be a top contender

We always do a chili cookoff between the 4-5 families that we go winter camping with.  Since we're headed out on the 27th, I'll probably make a batch on the 26th and then refrigerate it for a few days.  It's always so much better after a day or three of melding.

Fearless, I think that the beef stew I made last year for the Nebraska game in Minneapolis was much closer to beef bourguignon than normal beef stew, due to a generous slug of red wine instead of just water for the beef stock.

Celebrating with the in-laws. Homemade cinnamon rolls tomorrow morning, stuffed shells and steak tomorrow night, GR Christmas soup next week, and homemade Chicago-style deep dish pizza for NYE.
