Title: Christmas food!
Post by: rocketgirl on December 20, 2025, 02:52:44 PM
Whatcha making?


Its supposed to be 72 degrees here, so I'm going to smoke a pork loin. I think im also making a bread pudding with a bourbon sauce and maple bacon topping.  Maybe homemade Mac and cheese (which I could finish in the smoker.  Maybe roasted Brussels sprouts.


Depends on whether it's just me and one friend, or if it's me and several friends.


My family is doing Christmas Eve afternoon and just ordering sandwiches platter from the store.  Dad cant cook anymore and my stepmother broke her elbow (on her dominant arm of course).  A real meal for a bunch of people is too much to put on a 13 year old.  I guess they could have ordered a ham and we all potluck, but the other grown "kids"  have multiple family things.  And it's hard for me to keep something hot for an hour drive (not to mention if I cook, I am not going to be on time.

Ooh, smoke pork loin sounds good.

We're doing the traditional - turkey, sides, mashed potatoes and enough wine to sink a ship.

Just one family dinner for us, and pretty small at that with just my sister and nephew.  Christmas has changed a lot but I don't think I mind.  Less stress.
