Didn't take any pics, but for the first time ever, decided to make lunch for my parents and aunt that came up (usually they bring food). I grilled grass-fed ribeyes and pastured chicken breasts (decided to go w/ quality). For the chicken I prepared them like the Chicken Bryan from Carrabbas, which calls for grilled chicken topped with goat cheese covered with a lemon butter sauce made with minced garlic & onion, white wine, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes. Knocked the chicken out of the park, but I could have done a better job on the steaks. I seasoned them about 45 mins before we ate, without the salt of course, and made the mistake of forgetting to salt them until after they'd cooked, which I know some people recommend but I've never liked the results as well as before cooking. So they were a little underseasoned, and since they were thin ribeyes, slightly more done than I would have liked. I should have gone w/ strip steaks.

Also made garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed asparagus (coconut oil & butter, with a little garlic salt).
I was pretty proud of myself, shit was delicious, and I got it all done in about 30 mins with minimal help (my mom mashed up the potatoes after I'd boiled them). Now that I have a grill w/ a side burner, this type of thing will be much easier in the future, b/c I won't have to be running back and forth from the kitchen to the backyard to check on everything.

Christmas Eve I had prime rib, shrimp cocktail, grilled veggies, green bean casserole, and roasted red skin potatoes.
Christmas Day I had stuffed pork, shrimp cocktail, baked salmon (with pesto and sun dried tomato spread), spinach casserole, and twice baked potatoes. Oh, and some salad.

I am fat.

Yea most of the day. Feeding 40 people takes a bit of time.

samesies; I like some seafood, but it seems weird to me to eat it for T-giving or C-mas. But I can certainly respect the ridiculous amount of work that must've gone into all that. Big ups.

Did the boys help clean up?

[sealice aka lone ranger]

No. They were busy drinking brandy in the den, smoking cigars, discussing economics, and possible investment in the dutch east india company

It's a Catholic/Southern Italian thing. It's called the Feast of the Seven Fishes and it's held on Christmas eve. Christmas breakfast and dinner don't have any seafood.

This is not the first time I've heard of seafood on Christmas. Now I know whyz.
