Holiday baking and other food prep
Rejaneration:
So, what's on tap for Christmas dinner? I will have all 4 kidless coming to dinner.
I need some inspiration. My DD doesn't eat a lot of red meat, so thinking prime rib is out - plus honestly, not in the mood to spend that $$$.
picote:
We were going to skip prime rib and do lamb instead, but I’ve seen some crazy sales on prime rib this week, so we’re going to pick up at least one. We may end up freezing it and saving for later.
caribougrrl:
We're doing something completely different than usual this year, multiple courses, but mostly make in advance:
- some nibbling stuff: white bean spread, olive tapenade, cheese, olive oil roasted almonds, focaccia
- squash puree, tagliatelle tossed in browned butter, fried sage leaves
- leafy salad w/ walnut oil and lemon juice
- polenta, red wine braised beef, roasted kalettes
- dessert TBD - something bright, I think, maybe something with clementine sorbet
DocBuzzkill:
Given that my hemoglobin count is invariably just a bit below normal, I sure as hell will be eating red meat in the form of prime rib or a sirloin roast. :)
The rest will be our usual: mashed potatoes, gravy, maybe Yorkshire pudding, steamed Brussels sprouts, and steamed cranberry pudding with butter-cream sauce. I may try some old-school bacon-wrapped scallops as an appetizer.
We typically have Julia Child's recipe for rack of lamb on NYE.
