Lobster Newburg

Christmas Eve we make Strata, and cook it Christmas morning for breakfast.

• 1 pound pork sausage
• 6 (1 ounce) slices bread, cubed
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 cups milk
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground dry mustard

Mix it all together in an oven proof bowl, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, take it out of the fridge an hour before putting it in the oven(in a water bath) at 350 for an hour.

We went out to eat for Thanksgiving, so my wife decided to cook the whole "Thanksgiving dinner" meal for Christmas. I can't wait.

We do holiday breakfast. I am scheduled for a colonoscopy on Friday and my instructions call me to go bland and relatively low fiber starting now. I'll probably limit to pancakes, eggs, and a slice of ham.

Beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, asparagus. Easy does it.

Going over to friends tonight.

Making a “melting potato” with thyme and rosemary.

And roasted green beans with lardon, crispy shalllot, strawberry balsamic glaze

 

[Judge Smails]

Traditional Christmas frittata for breakfast. Smoked prime rib, garlic mashed, Savannah chopped house cream corn, green beans, wreath rolls (grands in a circle with rosemary). Oh yeah. And a festive salad. Great wine. Desserts

 

[Wingnut]

Grilling a ribeye for me, a filet for the wife.

Sides will be baked potatoes and leftovers from last night which includes shrimp cocktail, mini crab cakes, and langostino scampi.

For dessert I'll have several beers.

My wife made a feast today. Breafkast was caramelized onion and sun dried tomoto quiche, home made cinnamon rolls. Then for dinner, shrimp and grits with homemade ginger snap ice cream. I made egg nog lattes and then opened some wine for dinner.

We went out to eat for Thanksgiving, so my wife decided to cook the whole "Thanksgiving dinner" meal for Christmas. I can't wait.

Yesterday started with me making blueberry pecan pancakes, bacon, fried eggs, coffee and cranberry juice. Then my wife started cooking. Well, she actually started cooking on Monday making some things ahead of time. Fresh cranberry sauce, cream cheese mashed potatoes, candid yams, collard greens and some other prep work. Then on Christmas Day she cooked a boneless turkey breast and stuffing with pecans and cranberries. While we were eating that, she had in the oven a pecan cobbler. We ate that later at night topped with vanilla bean gelato. I must admit, it was one of the best meals she had ever cooked. It was only the two of us, so lots of leftovers to last for days.

Dumb move on my part not doing my prime rib on the Traeger. Just followed the directions provided by Costco. Sorry. That 500 for 25 minutes then turn it down is a terrible way to cook a primer. Outside gets too done. Not pink all the way through. Next year - back on the Traeger. Still was OK but not Smails worthy

Never cook by time, I always have probes or a digital thermometer and check often, it's the only foolproof way.

had the same issue as the judge - that beautiful cap meat was still delicious - but well done using that method.

also, slicing that prime rib steak chunk was a giant pain. Next year if we go the little sandwiches approach - I'm going ahead and doing a whole filet and spending the extra money - just cleaner cutting and sandwich making after ...

and it's going to be easier to get an even rare to med-rare throughout the cut

I always have probes

Go on...

This is how you want to do it.

Reverse sear FTW. If you use a thermometer and do this, you can't mess it up.
