Staying home.

Making Herb-Crusted Prime Rib. Dry Brined for 3 days. Roasted Vegetables and Mashed Potatoes. Red Wine Au Jus. Cherry Cheesecake. All from scratch. I am a fat bastard, not just feelings.
 
My dad brought over a prime rib yesterday. He cooked it at 500 in the oven for 5 minutes for every pound the meat was . Then turn the heat off and let it sit for 2 hours. It turned out awesome. Works for all kinds of meat.

Dun that before as well, and then put it over a wood burned flame and stayed with it and manually rotated it to give it the perfect crust, works amazing...

Did it that way for years. I’ve now reversed it to low and slow (250°) until the temp I want then sear in 500° oven. I’ve been using a traeger for the low and slow. Gets more even medium rare edge to edge.

Done both. The low and slow followed by the 500 sear is better imo. Have had a smoked prime rib which was delicious but don’t have a smoker. Just got a Sous Vide so that’s going to be the next thing I try.
 
My workplace provided a turkey for all the employees so we're having that tonight. In addition to turkey, we're having mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, green bean casserole, and a couple dessert options.

We’ve done takeout La Mesa the last 2 years. Price is right. Quality and service were much better last year than this year though.

No cinnamon rolls? Sacrilegious!!
 
Christmas eve is always cheddar chowder, shrimp cocktail, summer sausage and cheese tray, cannibal meat followed by watching a Christmas Carol w/George C Scott.

Christmas day at my Mom's house with all the siblings, grand kids and great grandkids.
Ham balls, roast beef, crock pot potatoes, salads too many to count, corn, bacon wrapped asparagus, sweet potatoes, rolls and homemade dill bread, pecan pie and berry medley pie. There was probably more!!

Prime rib, mashed potatoes, gravy, fresh green peas. Would've preferred to cook the roast to Medium Rare but wife and a numbers of others wanted well done so I we compromised and cooked it to just over medium. Still it was delicious. (Just not as much as it could've been :rolleyes:)
