What's Cookin? Merry Christmas edition

If the concession stands stayed open you'd need a small fortune for a weeks worth of food and drink.

 

What I thought of. TBS (I think) plays that movie for 24 hours Christmas Day. I still watch it once a year. Have to look away when kid gets tongue stuck on pole. Ouch!

 

I made brisket jerky on the grill

That’s not what I was trying to make

But that’s the way it turned out

 

Plus I just realized it’s more than 7 days

10 or 11 depending on the Cincinnati TBD

 

Homemade meat and cheese raviolis, ham, roast chicken. And lots of sides.

 

Congrats! Nothing is better than grandchildren. I’m lucky to have 3, all under 5, and I can’t help but smile or laugh at ever6 thing they do. The oldest is 5, he just got an IPad and he FaceTimes me now. What a time to be alive!

 

TY. yep, this will be my first. she won't be spoiled or nothing.

Duck a la Christmas Story

i can cook a mean duck, but no one appreciates it in my family, oh well..turkey again…lol

 

Can you imagine what they'll see in their 75-80 years on Earth??? I look at young in my family and wonder if they'll be individual flying by then

 

but can you cook a nice duck?

 

i worry about the young bunch. they may not even be able to write, talk or survive by themselves. only if the cell phone can take care of them.

 

Prime Rib, baked potato and string beans after the game.

 

we had done standing rib a few years at Christmas. really good, really expensive.

our go to is hot sausage and my homemade meatballs and wedding soup. those were always kind of standards. the Italian in me was a tradition with the red of the sauce and the green of the soup thing. also used to make baccala. had an old Italian uncle that used to make it and the garlic in it was so much that you would stink for two days after. it was so good though.

i used to get the hot sausage from an old man that made it himself. it was so good. he passes away though a long time ago.

 

Been there once too. Not what I DRIED TO DO THO.

 

How do you do your duck? I’d like to do one on a grill next summer, but need ideas.

 

I will do a standing rib for my wife’s family Saturday

I got a 16 pound one a couple of years ago and I think it cost $225

Looked like something Fred Flintstone would have ordered

I’m lucky I have a real butcher shop I can go to

 

Devlin seasoning.
Let your duck sit before adding the Hodges and throw into the fire.

 

Just a warning- ducks are very fatty, especially around the breast. I'm sure you could do it, but have a fire extinguisher handy.

 

You have to save as much of that fat you can too.

 

Everyone that said standing rib roast... count me in!! Sausage stuffing and green been casserole too. There's a pie and something called a salad (if anyone knows what that is please let me know).

 

i do mine in the oven. Score the skin with a knife, rub salt all over the duck inside the cavity and out. 350 degrees flipping it over every 40 minutes. Keep basting with honey glaze every so often while it cooks. Works great, when i get the chance to do it…

 

yea we have a few near me which is rare anymore. good meat. we even have a longhorn cattle farm near that cuts his own and sales beef. very good. your right, it looks like fred flintstone. a distinct way to cook it as well. not sure what it would cost this year as prices have gone way up.

 

Honey baked ham, 3 cheese (cheddar, Swiss and Sharp) scalloped potatoes with onions and jalapeños and grilled string beans in garlic butter. Pan o’ chocolates and homemade cutout Xmas cookies.

 

Spiral Ham and scallop potatoes.
