Turdukin with southern dressing and candied sweet potatos.

Right now I am enjoying Bloody Bulls while the cooking is taking place.

Hopefully it willl warm up enough to enjoy an EPC later in the afternoon.

Merry Christmas to All!

We are having a standing rib roast, creamed spinach and garlic mashed red bliss potatoes with a bottle of Mollydooker Carnival of Love!

Well ... I've decided to do a traditional Puerto Rican holiday dinner. Given that it's the first time that I've done this myself, it's been a three-day process. Four main dishes, plus dessert:

Arroz con gandules (rice with green pigeon peas)
Habichuelas rosadas con arroz blanco (pink beans with white rice)
Pasteles (green banana and root vegetable masa/cake stuffed with savory meat or veggie filling, wrapped in a green banana leaf, and boiled -- kind of resemble tamales except they're nothing like them. LoL!)
Pernil (pork shoulder picnic cut with skin-on, stuffed and marinated with mashed up garlic, onion, etc., and slow roasted)
Bizcocho de ron (rum cake with a rum glaze)

Pork shoulder picnic cut

Seasoned

Pasteles

What they look like cooked (this was a test run yesterday)

Bizcocho de ron

The pork is cooking right now (probably 3-4 hours left) and I'll do the rice and bean dishes closer to dinner time. I LOVE this kind of food!!!!!

I'm shocked I was the last one who posted here. I'll have to drop another photo in later today....

No Italians here yet? Seafood feast on Christmas Eve has been my favorite meal of the year for as long as I can remember.

I made a perfect Prime Rib. Cooked it at 325 degrees until the internal temp reached 115.

We did the traditional turkey this year with all the trimmings, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for desert. Along with a couple bottles of fine wine, a good time was had by all, and the best part - leftovers!!

My Christmas meal was ironic - I first watched Charlotte's Web, then stuck my ham in the oven.

Oink.
