is done! Smoked 6 butts today and made a little over 4 gallons of brunswick stew, got one butt and 2 quarts of stew left. I need to build an outdoor kitchen like ole Shameless and increase my cooking capacity. Tomorrow I will get a small pork roast for my bride to boil and get the broth to make gravy for our Christmas breakfast.

Jenny got a nice ham for Thanksgiving. A schedule change had her working that day. I asked her to save it for Christmas.
Tomorrow night I’ll make a buttermilk and a pecan pie. Speaking of Tamalis, our neighbor across the road just brought us a dozen and I put in an order for 3 more dozen. They are some kind of wonderful. |

I had planned on beef tenderloin and either lobster (for her) or shrimp. We both ate too much for lunch, so we weren't hungry and ended up having an omelet. Baby Bella's, onions, smoked sausage, cheese and green olives, with toast. Made us both happy enough. Maybe the tenderloin and whatever tomorrow.....

Definitely Christmas is the most important
day of the year, so you need to cook something special. I remember when I was a
kid, my mum used to cook my turkey with smashed potatoes, so delicious So now
when I got older, I started to cook this meal for me and my kids. I even found
on https://www.thewindupspace.com/best-pull-out-organizers-for-pots-and-pans/
how to organize my pans and pots, to make my cooking experience easier, and it
worked. What about you, what's your favorite Christmas recipe? Edited by Fishiluo - 17 Feb 2021 at 11:16am |

What timing for this to come to the top. My wonderful wife and cook had something not agree with her Sat night ,took yesterday off. Still not real perky today. Looked over her pre planed menu suggestions. Had prime rib roast left overs from Christmas as a bunch of stockholder decided to stay away. Prime rib, mashed taters, and sweet corn from the patch, taters was the only new cooking.
Still real good stuff. Oh after feeding cows I gave her a covid test. The big rain the end of Jan spurred the narcissi bulbs and the first buds are breaking open. Only had about 3 inches of stem , but waved them under nose and was told back up with those stinky things. Spring will manage to out do that silly pretty machine even for those falling off the bottom of the scale on the thermometers today. Spring is coming my way the perks of dealing with Fruits and Nuts going commy in my hood.

Ray, I would suspect the sweet corn. That stuff will spoil in no time. A week ago Sat**day wife and I ate at a fast food chicken joint about mid afternoon and a few hours later I was having acute abdominal pains, it even hurt to breathe. Thought I would have to go to the ER but I made it through the night by staying in the recliner. No diarrhea or vomiting, just a tremendous amount of gas.

Thanks for the heads up on corn, but that was not on Sat menu. It was cut off the cob and frozen right away, just taken out of the freezer when she dug up the prime rib that had been frozen right after Christmas that we had last night.
I know what your talking about with stomach pain from gas. Back 10 years or so had several bouts with something that kick my behind big time. Even a few sips of water would bring on new bloating. Dang near had real trouble from dehydration one night. Since the body can still a big mystery to science, I don't know if any connection but since my gallbladder was removed have not had a attack.
Just struck me as a funny coincidence that the topic was waiting for me after having Christmas left overs. My Wonderful has taken to putting notes on the calendar so goodies like the prime rib don't get forgotten until they are not so good. |

Well with that hehehehehehe!............ so if your as good as you think I don't want to deflate you.
For short term storage we don't vacuum pack. Less than 6 months is short term around here. It was cooked but real rare, as even heated through good still very red in spots. Despite a lot of false information you can freeze and thaw meat more than once without hurting the eating. As many as 2 or 3 times, red meat more so than poultry. But really believe vacuum packing is better way to freeze most if not everything. We had a Texas transplant that had a big following as a BBQ guy out here. Combined Texas with Spanish influenced Vaquero ways ( never get in a hurry, if your not horseback problem doesn't need doing ) could cook about anything on a open fired wood grill. Anyway, he stocked up on top sirloin when it was on sale ( I knew several of you cheap guys would like that ). By the big vacuum pack bags and cut everything himself. Be he would keep it in just the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Vacuum packed and he was not in and out of that fridge everyday all helped.
