>Prime rib
>mac and cheese
>roasted new potatoes with fresh herbs
>asparagus
>brocolette AKA broccolini
>frozen premade spanakopita

[Anonymous No.15266443]

Typically I would do prime rib, baked potatoes, caprese salad, bruschetta (homemade bread), Russian cream, and dark chocolate covered oranges. This year senpai got gifted a turkey so I’m thinking brine it in cider overnight, then 50/50 mashed sweet/golden potatoes, Mac and cheese, homemade cranberry sauce, green beans

[Anonymous No.15267043]

Do you serve the caprese salad before the prime rib or alongside?

Thanks. I was going for a feast primarily of meats and vegetables without too much grain filler, wanted it to feel luxurious. A little Russian influence since I've been studying Russian cuisine lately.
Every year my SO and I watch all the extended LOTR movies over Christmas Eve/Day and day drink, and this year I was feeling extra fucking hype for it after a shitty year of job loss and big bother so I wanted it to be extra special. We will feast, not quite like hobbits, but at least a bit like them.

you can come eat with us if you promise not to go on any tirades about (((the tribe))) or trannies. racism generally flies, but keep it pg-13.

there's only four of us attending dinner and since i don't cook for a living any longer, it's fun to do do things you normally wouldn't when cooking for yourself.

[Anonymous No.15267433]

bro how can you watch the LOTR movies these days? the CGI is so, SO bad.

it really is that bad. watch jurassic park from 1994 or whenever, still looks great. watch LOTR trilogy, it's hilariously bad. it looked good when it came out and it was in theaters but they way overdid it.

your meal will be better than the movies but i'm not knocking your tradition, it sounds comfy as fuck

[Anonymous No.15267573]

>>15267508
I really don't see how you can say Jurassic Park held up better than LOTR. The only thing I can think of is the one meme scene with Legolas on a troll but one scene does not a masterpiece ruin.

Anyway, thanks.

it's because JP didn't rely on CGI, it used CGI tastefully instead of going full on michael bay. animatronics and sets/models and camera trickery with CGI to fill in the gaps is obviously the way to do it.

[Anonymous No.15267603]

Usually we’d make a roast or some shit, but we can’t have anyone over so there’s no point in making a big meal.

Instead, I’m gonna make pan-seared steaks using Alton Brown’s method.

[Anonymous No.15267613]

Making braised shortribs over potatoes for my side of the family, with homemade cookies for dessert on the 23rd. my mom is making all the sides and lobster. Also making eggs benedict on xmas morning, and roast beef for xmas eve. Pic related is some of what I'm making for the bf's side on xmas dinner:

>Pistachio crust rack of lamb
>Brussels sprouts
>Duck fat potatoes (i took them out way too early in this pic)
>homemade butternut squash ravioli in brown butter sauce
>strawberry cheesecake

what do you mean you "can't have anyone over"? this is incomprehensible to me.

[Anonymous No.15267635]

>>15267613
Oy mate, looks tasty. No sauce of any kind? Something with a little balsalmic or something? Also why no flip the brussels?

[Anonymous No.15267640]

>>15267635
the cook time was all wacky and the tatos got underdone and the sprouts got over done, i'm just gonna cook them to just underdone ahead of the lamb and reheat in the oven to serve.

And there's dijon on the lamb holding the crust on so it doesn't really need a sauce, tho maybe ill do something quick with the pan drippings

[Anonymous No.15267643]

>>15267640
are you implying you were going to throw the drippings away??

being told who you are and are not allowed to have over your own house, being told you are not allowed to see your family, being such a cuckold to the state that they get to dictate things like that..

who's gonna stop you? grow some fucking balls m8, you're the reason this bullshit is still going on. if we all collectively said "nah, we're not doing masks or lockdowns or anything anymore", the chink flu would go away like magic

Just my wife and I, both because of covid and we genuinely don't like people. I'm going to roast a prime rib. Sides will be mashed potatoes with gravy from the roast drippings, crab cakes, cream of mushroom soup and a nice salad. Fuck the traditional bullshit that always ends up being disappointing.

I'm making a 5.5lb new york strip loin roast with a garlic-sage rub, a roast duck stuffed with oranges and thyme with a maple-bourbon glaze, roast yukon gold potatoes with duck fat, seared lemon-garlic green beans, and a risotto with beef stock. should be delicious, and i'm always happy to make a nice dinner for my family

I am making central Texas style smoked brisket, two smoked chickens, plenty of sausage, and cajun seasoned grilled shrimp.
Macaroni and cheese, baked beans, broccoli salad, and pickles and onions for the sides, I got really quality pickles.
Just going to be my father and his parents along with some of my siblings this year. I offered to cook because I know that my Nana is very tired, she is dealing with a lot and I want to cook for them. Nana is making potato salad and a few desserts. Going to get my girlfriend to make a loaf of white bread. I will also have beers and bourbon punch.

Keeping it simple this year, because this year it's only my parents, brother, gf and i.
Snirtjebraten is a roast from northern Germany made from small pork chunks heaviely seasoned with pimento, juniper, cloves, bay leaves and the obvious salt and pepper. After roasting the meat, you also roast lots of onions, deglace it with beer and let it cook for some time. It's served with potatoes, red cabbage and the thickened gravy, but mustard goes also pretty well with it.
