Your Christmas Meal

My wife threw down (as always) for our meal this Christmas.  We have Gumbo, Cornbread, Crab Legs, Lobster Tails and both a Pound and Chocolate Cake.  Yes Sir!!!  LOL!!

 

What was your meal for Christmas?

When I was growing up, ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, corn, and rolls. You could count on that meal every Christmas day. We'd get up really early, open presents, and not even eat breakfast because we knew that lunch would be huge! :)

I've tried to continue that tradition, even though I can't make it like Mom used to make. However, this year, my mother is staying with us until January, so she actually cooked the meal today. :)

Prime rib last night, with lots of roasted vegetables. Today was the traditional ham and sides. All wonderful and I ate too much of all of it.

Fried Turkey*, ham, broccoli casserole, mac and cheese(very special mac and cheese!), pearl onions, biscuits mmmmmmmmmmm..... getting ready to eat now. And home made key lime pie for dessert!

 

*  I've been frying turkeys for 18 years. Used to do it at Thanksgiving as well, but the past 5 years we do a traditional roasted turkey in November.  I've perfected a great marinade(apple cider, honey, Old Bay, etc., etc.) that is the bomb and I have to say that frying a turkey is the best!

For breakfast it was red velvet Belgian waffles, with green whipped cream ( Christmas colors, get it ? ) and chopped strawberries and bacon.

 

Tonight chicken fried steak, with corn on the cob and whipped potatoes.   Every thing from scratch.  My wife is amazing, and I am SOOOOOOOOOO blessed and fortunate to have her.

Beautiful, thank you kindly sir. Red velvet cake and belgian waffles are two of my favorite baked goods, so together, this equals me gaining 50 pounds.

 

As to the real question in this thread... yeah, I haven't eaten dinner yet. I hear Greek yogurt calling my name...

I feel you on that!  My wife and I have been married for 30 years!  Love her!  She is an awesome cook!  I just finished a second helping of our Christmas meal.  Now, it's time for another piece of Chocolate cake and some milk to wash it down!  lol!

Turkey and dressing, creamed potatoes with turkey gravy, corn pudding, collards, Honeybaked Ham, and baked sweet potatoes, deviled eggs, and Red Velvet cake for desert...just your typical Southern Christmas fare...but it sure was delicious! 

Blows the whole calorie count thingy for a couple of days, but the good thing is it only comes once a year, lol.

I made a nice 5lb prime rib for Christmas Eve with roasted potatoes and asparagus. A nice herb & garlic crust. Perfection.

No scotch though, I had to settle for Bulleit.
