What are you eating this fine Christmas day?

[Hddnis]

I like making a nice roast for Christmas myself. Sorta makes it different than Thanksgiving and eating turkey.

Here is the roast ready to start cooking.

Here it is on the woodstove cooking nicely. It got too hot and I had to put a paver brick between the dutch oven and the stove; I kinda figured that would happen. That is all wood I cut myself with a chainsaw. The wood behind the stove is a burl pattern oak slab from a stump that is drying fast for a small project. Some checking, but I'll be able to work around that.

I started three days ago by rubbing the beef round eye roasts in olive oil and then Realsalt, granulated garlic, and black pepper; then they went back into a nice cold fridge. This morning I seared them in a smoking hot cast iron pan on the stove. Next I put them in the dutch oven with turnips, red potatoes, carrots, onions, rutabegas, a few slices of green apple, and some parsley.

They take three to four hours to cook. I have two more in a crockpot, since we're have company for dinner.

The house smells good.


Merry Christmas!

Thanks, if you were closer I'd invite you to dinner; I'm afraid that it will all be gone by the time you could get here.

The roast looks excellent!!

I have my wife, 2 kids, and grandkids with me for Christmas and we've had Honey-baked ham, a BBq'd pork butt, green beans w/new potatoes, deviled eggs, broccoli and rice casserole and boiled shrimp for the grandkids. Topping it off with fresh made coconut pies...

I hope each and everyone of you and your families had a Merry Christmas and enjoyed yours as much as I have enjoyed mine with my family!

And yes....it's only 32 degrees here, but I'v e got a nice warm fire going and sipping a little scotch as I sit!

Merry Christmas to y'all

prime rib with in laws and my bil THAT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SHARPEN HIS CHAIN ON HIS 361

 

[bobt]

I made a spiral baked ham, made mashed potatoes, and green beans. All was good! Simple food for us here! We simply enjoy eating good stuff! My wife is a good cook, but it is tradition that I cook on holidays. I love it!

Only bad thing was that my son was on his ship in the Navy in Norfolk, and his wife was all the way across the nation in San Diego anticipating the move of his ship from Norfolk to San Diego, so they didn't have much of a Christmas together!

Mine is not too far off...

I've got a nice pot roast in my Dutch Oven. Its a big 14" oven and it is full to the brim with carrots & whole red potatoes. I start out with 4 big yellow onions that I cook down to nice and brown. Then I put that on top of a roast that has been rubbed in Montreal Steak Seasoning. That goes in for 2 hours at 300 degrees F. To spice things up, I add balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and BBQ sauce. The veggies are added after 2 hours. Things then slow cook for another 2 hours, at 300 degrees F.

Serve that up with hot-from-the-oven bread. We start eating in 15 minutes.

I am very blessed. My whole family is together - for the first time in 2.5 years.

Merry Christmas!
