The last holiday update is food related, if you can imagine that? We are blessed with being able to cook enough food for a heavy weapons platoon at any given time, and it's a blessing we do not ignore.
This week, our very own version of Cindy Lou Who stepped up and helped cook Christmas dinner. We hope to have her slinging mason jars this summer, but we're taking baby steps right now. So, our week in food......
Kattie made her favorite meatball casserole and bacon wrapped Parmesan crackers. Both were a big hit on the big day.
Fried oysters, they were the bell of the ball Christmas day
Cupcake made a big pot of French onion soup, and it was to die for.
We also made two fruitcakes. Pop took one to a party, the other we kept on hand.
And you have to have Chex mix on Christmas, I'm pretty sure it's a southern law
And Christmas Eve, Cupcake made home made cheese danish for breakfast.
There was smoked country ham for Christmas too. Big Man threw in a piece of brisket while it smoked, for eggs and collards and whatnot.
A couple of meals outside of Christmas made the cut this week, first was home made pizza. We have been stuck on pineapple ham pizza, but one night the chirruns were here, and we felt like pizza. We made a plain cheese pizza, and Jake had seconds. In Jake's world, that's high praise.
And lastly, we had a few leftover walnuts from the week of baking. Big Man made banana walnut pancakes for Saturday's pancake extravaganza.
We are going to rub our bellies for the next week or so, and hope we can fit through the door by next weekend.

We made the best French onion soup by using the drippings from smoked brisket as the base (you know the liquid in the pan after the brisket rests)... I can't wait for alphageek to smoke more brisket so I can make more soup.
ReplyDeleteThat's a grand idea. We sure do smoke enough brisket around here. We will be sure to share if we do
