Whats Smoking for Christmas?

  Standing Rib Roast for my wife and me.

I think I'm making some sausage and sticks Friday and will probably smoke them Saturday. Not real sure yet, I got a pretty bad head cold so that may keep me inside.

[Up In Smoke]

2 turkeys, 4 boneless turkey breasts, 4 butts, 2 pastrami roasts, 6 lb of canadian bacon.
already got 6 lbs of chedder and 6 sticks of pepperoni......oh and 2 chickens.

Prime Rib and Tators on the Weber with the smokenator,  Brown sugar and kosher salt for a rub

[West Coast Kansan]

putting smoke to a small turkey and PR so they can stablize over night. Going to do a few scallops on Xmas morning.

Will roast the PR and deep fry the turkey.

 :( No smoke for me, just some store bought spiral ham.

Just a kiss of smoke for some strip steaks on Christmas day.  The "heavy lifting" for Christams was done last weekend.  We try to keep it relatively low key for Christams eve and the big day -- kids are wound tight enough as it is.  Will do a pan pizza with a sourdough crust tomorrow, smoke and grill strip steaks on Saturday, then the ultimate mac & cheese for Sunday.

Next week it's more cold smoked salmon (with some planned experimentation) and the three-day prep for  the annual cassoulet for New Years day that includes making Toulouse sausage.

For dinner it will be a ham from Central Market.

On the menu for the weekend will be snack sticks (sweet & spicy, pepperoni and BBQ), some summer sausage and maybe some andouille or brats.

Well, change of plans, I'm cooking after all. Others are having more 'traditional' meals elsewhere so I opted to try a meatloaf recipe form the site. No ground pork available, so I grabbed some name-brand mild italian sausage to mix with the GB. I may even drape some bacon over it. Under those I'm going to slip 4 cornish game hens.  Some roasted green beans with cherry tomoatoes, pearl onions and mushrooms and then some roasted little red taters. We'll see what happens.

Happy Holidays to all!

6 pound Snake River Farms Wagyu beef tenderloin at my house.  First time trying one of their tenderloins.  Looking forward to seeing how it is.

In your hands, it will be incredible.

Last trip to The Capital Grill in Houston I tried Wagyu beef carpacio ... exquisite!
