Well it's 1044 and I've poured my first drink, One of my special Bloody Mary's made with my own homegrown horseradish.
For Italians, Christmass eve is the big event. We eat lot's of wonderful seafood, stuffed squid (no jokes please), octopus, lobster of course, baccala, shrimp etc. I was curious if any of you have kept your ethnic traditions alive.

Merry Chrismas,
Doc.

Tomorrow is the big feed day for us. Tonight is snacks galore.

Last night I put a Pork Shoulder in a Mojo marinade with a lime and orange added to it. Tossed the peppers and onions in to soak with it also. The sides are snap beans, arroz amarillo con gandules, and plaintanos.

On Christmass it will be my home made speghetti (my kids special request).

Christmas eve is usually just a little family thing. We stay home and play board games and usually watch a movie. Tomorrow we'll have a big lunch/dinner with relatives. After all of that, I'll probably go to a little party of my own with my friends. :whistling:

 

[CalixEros]

We had a tenderloin and I made some teriyaki butter garlic shrimp as an appetizer. I love the holidays; it's always the best food of the year.

Hell yeah!!! Today my mother makes homemade raviolli.

We have an old counter top rotisserie that used to belong to my wife's parents; still works like a champ (made out of metal - held together with screws....go figure). Just wouldn't be Christmas without a prime rib on the 'tiss driving everyone crazy with that incredible aroma until dinnertime. Horseradish sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, etc....hey, is it dinnertime yet..??...:love: Also, by request, we have a turkey breast and all the trimmings that go with it.

Speaking of Turkey, there's one Wild Turkey that I'm going to chase after off and on most of the day.... But - It's 0741 so it's time to get started with a big cup of fresh ground coffee and an AM stogie before the family arrives...

The very best wishes from me and my family to all of you for a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year....!!!

Cheers - B.B.S.

We are having the traditional turkey and fixins'. I also smoked a whole pork loin at the request of my son. I hope it is enough.

The turkeys (2, 22lb)are Good Eats Roasted turkey recipe (we talked about it at Thanksgiving time). The pork is brined as well, just a simple brine with brown sugar, shallots, and a bit of Tobasco to make it interesting.

This has and continues to be an adventure. We are expecting 40 people over for dinner I rented the banquet hall at the Holiday Inn, and the honeymoon suite.
It will be the biggest gathering of the Wisbey family (and supporting cast) in years.

Merry Christmas all!
