Thread: just wanted to share tonight's dinner with you guys..

Bacon wrapped, beef medallions. Seasoned with McCormick, Worcestershire pub burger.

Skewered and put on the barbie for a Med/Med Rare.



Plated with baked potato, w/butter and garlic salt. Broccoli w/ramp butter.

Do they fry in motor oil?

I wondered that myself.

Christmas dinner in the A Christmas Story tradition.



Chinese turkey, aka Hong Kong style barbecued whole duck. Wonton soup on the side.

Xmas dinner was roast goose and dressing baked separately, not in the bird. Gravy of course. Crawfish chowder, homemade coconut milk bread, salad with greens picked right before the freeze, green beans sauteed with onions, sesame oil, baby portobellos, broccoli with cheese sauce, proseco, and chardonnay, tawny port and bakery cake brought by SIL for desert. It was a full day of prep and cook, today a full day of cleanup.

This time I removed the wishbone before cooking and that made carving much easier. I scored. herbed and roasted following Gordon Ramsay's recipe. Sorry, no pics but when you have seen one roast goose you have seen them all. I was going to sous vide but wiser heads told me that was a recipe for disaster, with goose or farm raised duck and I am glad I stuck with the normal method.

For a guy raised in the south of the US what else would it be on New Year's Day?



Black eyed peas and hog jowl bacon.

Shepherd's pie made.with ground goat.

Saturdays are feed the wife nights, some toasted bread with garlic rosemary shrooms, and a cheese fondue with toasted bread broccoli and some meat.
