Agree mortadella is top tier. Just below prosciutto for me

 

[Heelsandeers]

Speaking of pistachio and prosciutto had this a couple nights ago

Grilled calamari and eggplant

Rigatoni with smoked scamorza, parmesan, pistachio, prosciutto, peas

This stuff is fire. Great on almost everything.

Dinner from the other night

Some of the best best empanadas I’ve ever had. Sweet corn, roasted red pepper, provolone, aji amarillo

Steak was an Argentine striploin. Dulce de leche for dessert with complimentary alfajores

 

[UNCatTech]

Tried this yesterday. These are supposed to look like pumpkins.

Tried this yesterday. These are supposed to look like pumpkins.

I'd say they resembled the wattles on Trump's neck but they're not orange enough for that, either.

Probably needed a few more strings to give it a better appearance, but those things were much harder to tie than I expected.

Nothing looks as bad as trumps neck.

Made alfajores for a Christmas party. They were a big hit

 

[Heelsandeers]

And made chilli and 50:50 corn/flour tortillas while snowed in on Saturday

I nailed a brisket. 14 hours on the smoker.

I got a new temp prob. Much more accurate and I left it in for the entire cook, so I could monitor the stay temp increase.

What's on everyone's holiday menus this year?

Just got done with all my food shopping. Chaos as expected

Yes, went to Costco tonight, it's usually pretty dead on a Monday night, it was packed.

We are just doing lots of finger foods. Pigs in a blanket, smoke salmon, stuff like that.

I haven't been happy with the rib roasts I've done the last few years so I decided to do an old school top sirloin roast seasoned seared and slow roasted for Xmas Eve. Going to pick it up in a few minutes , We'll make shaved roast beast sandwiches with the leftovers. . Spatchcocking and dry brining a turkey for Xmas Day today also plus baking a Smithfield ham on Thursday.
. Still working on the sides. I'm thinking a double batch of yeast rolls and refrigerating the second batch, one for Wednesday and one for Thursday
My wife is doing the sides.

I was looking at a sirloin tip the other day, might try one of those in Jan.

My family is done with turkey, it will probably be years before we make another.

For the first time in forever, I might not bake a ham. My wife doesn't eat it and we aren't having enough people around to justify doing one.
