So what did y'all lard asses have for Christmas dinner?

[Mr. Daystar]

My turkey dinner was actually a novelty this year. I usually go with something different.

Turkey, scalloped potatos, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and since I knew I would have no more room I didn't bother with a vegetable.

I have ice cream but I filled up too much. 2 hours later I still feel like a pregnant water buffalo in a sandstorm.

How did the buttermilk, and upside down deal work out?

My mother in law made a roast beef, w/ gravy, mashed potatoes, real polish kielbasa, from a polish meat market, not that packaged Hillshire Farm crap, w/ sauerkraut, I made Rigatoni, with my homemade meat sauce. Plus the typical array of snacks...nuts, cheese cubes, smokies, etc.

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

my homemade meat sauce

Oo-er.

 

[Mayhem]

How did the buttermilk, and upside down deal work out?

Worked like a charm, although I apparently didn't use enough cayenne and a bit too much cinnamon. Didn't hurt anything, but you could really smell the cinnamon while it was cooking.

When it was too late to do anything, I noticed the bottle of Slivovitz (plum brandy) that I've had laying around forever. The next time I cook chicken I'm going to add a couple slugs to the buttermilk and see if that does anything.

Yeah...it's melt the fucking pan, just like your liver.

Oo-er.

Yup...I walked into that one. I meant tomato sauce, with meat...or, Sunday gravy if you prefer.

Baked whole chicken in a skillet
Made gravy in same skillet on top of the stove
Mashed potatoes
Steamed cabbage

Baking in the skillet was new this year, browns really well, and very crispy. Plus you don't dirty another dish when making the gravy.

I got a little toasted and devoured an entire log of black truffle goat cheese. There were plenty of OTHER things to eat, since there were like 28 people here... But I stuck to the cheese.

The shit I cooked:

Wine Cake
Wine... (That's a food right?)
Sicilian tomato salad
Bacon wrapped grilled asparagus
Baked Brie with a crumbled candied bacon crust. (They like bacon, so I provide.)
Braised lamb shanks with creamy garlic truffle sauce & feta.

what are roasties?

According to this: http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/12/21/british-style-roasties-a-whole-new-potato/

"What is this “roasty” of which you speak, you say? Well, in simple terms, they are roasted potatoes (in fact, that is commonly what they are called in the UK, but if I call them that here it conjures up a different beast). But these are not your typical roasted potatoes. Oh no, they are something far more special.

Creamy on the inside with a thick crispy-crunchy crust on the outside, these are the potatoes that are commonly served for a traditional Sunday lunch alongside prime rib, Yorkshire puds. And although they are simple, and relatively easy to make, there is much debate as to the best way to make them and the perfect variety of potato to use."

Wine... (That's a food right?)

As a representative of the industry I can say it certainly is(not really) a food. It's made of grapes, right? What wine did you have?

Tried three cabs they had out. Educated Guess and Liberté were two, I don't remember what the third one was. ><
