Oh my God that looks good!

If we ever get invited to su casa for dinner, that’s what I hope is on the menu.

I have never had beef wellington. Have been wanting to try it for many years now.

You go to Chicago occasionally. It has been many years since I was there, but The Bakery always had Beef Wellington on their menu. I don't know whether The Bakery is still in business. It was always on the list of Chicago's great restaurants when I lived in the area.

Article About The Bakery

The Bakery closed in 1989

Made some Chateaubriand for the wife on Christmas.
Along with a twice-baked sweet potato, green beans and a glass of cabernet.
Wife did make a keto-friendly version of pecan pie.

NY Strips on the grill for Christmas dinner

We did Prime Rib, slow cooked in the oven. I made Tipsy Potatoes, wife a Root Vegetable Tian, my best friend added Creme Brulee. We had Creamed Onions, too.

Wow! This page is full of top shelf cooking.

I did not know that.

The last time I was there was in the 1970's, when I was dating a beautiful woman, who has been my wife for 44 1/2 years. We had the Wellington.

There was also a Spanish (as in Spain, not Latin America) restaurant that had a very good lamb Wellington.

Wow!!! That looks fantastic!

Prime Rib on the Lone Star Grillz Offset.

The one meal I look forward to each year is Christmas Eve pierogies and borscht. This year, I was up all night at work and then called back in at 0900. Didn't even get home until 1500 and I wasn't about to start an all day to prepare meal in 2-3 hours on no sleep. So, instead, today I chose to make a pierogi pizza and it's pretty dang good! Didn't let the crust warm up enough so didn't get a great rise out of it, but that's OK. It's still crunchewy.

Another non-traditional meal here.

Everyone has had their fill of great Christmas turkey meal leftovers and then some. And although Christmas Day was snow free, we got hit with a blizzard as midnight approached. So some comfort food was called for this evening, the day after Christmas.

We have here some simple cabbage-sausage soup. Really tasty and perfect to take the chill off.


Onion
Celery
Carrots
Cabbage
Diced tomatoes
Chicken stock
Sausage (opted for a hot spicy variety)
Oregano
Basil
Lemon juice
Salt & pepper
...forgot to add some parsley

No cornbread to go with it as there was still a good supply of Christmas meal dinner rolls.

What a wonderful bunch of pictures. Smschulz, the chateaubriand looks amazing. Same with the New York steaks, P250UAS. Many more I didn’t mention, but wow, what a bunch of great food.

If I was to try anything on the last two pages, it would have to be the prime rib by frayedends. The thought of a slow roasted offset fire prime rib… my God, it’s 6:25 in the morning and I’m salivating for steak, and I hate eating before 10 am or so.

Chili, just in case I don't feel like cooking tomorrow.

Lasagna

I am going to try something brand new to me for New Years supper. I am currently hickory smoking a 1/2 beef 1/2 pork meatloaf. I covered it with ketchup and bacon crumbles and placed a temp probe. Will cook to 165F and then let it rest a bit. Wish me luck, and Happy New Year everyone!!

had a steak in the fridge, and broke down and just pan fried it

had the staples, black eyed peas, turnip greens and cornbread with it,


and held off on the bubbly till today, so sipping a nice glass of Pannier Champagne whilst I type this
