Audrey, that’s funny that you traveled with the food ). Back in the day I always made a big turkey dinner like thanksgiving on Xmas day. That ship sailed once the kids grew up.

The meals in this thread look delicious. ER Forum members cook and eat well!
Yesterday we had a mid-afternoon get together with my mum. We had some Basque sheep cheese (Ossau Iraty) and “pan de jamón” along with a glass of wine. We left her with stollen and gingerbread cookies.
For dinner we had Indian take out.
Today it’s pretty chilly but I’ll still grill some bison steaks, which we’ll have with baked japanese sweet potato, green beans and a nice Pinot Noir.

Merry Christmas!

Our traditional breakfast on Christmas morning is scrambled eggs with red-eyed gravy, country cured ham, sausage and buttermilk biscuits (it’s only once a year…).
Dinner is smoked prime rib with an jus and horseradish cream sauce, Yukon gold mash, pear and walnut salad with grand marnier soufflé for dessert.

For a moment or two I thought both prime rib and lobster was in the pie!
Hey, that lazy man’s lobster sounds great! I love seafood in a sherry cream sauce, and no need for a crust either. I will be adding saffron to the cream!

Wow! Dinner sounds awesome!
We do have a prime rib rack to smoke and reverse sear, but I’ve ended up saving it for New Year’s Day.

For breakfast, I made a blueberry Dutch Baby.
For lunch, we made tomato soup with lemon and rosemary, and grilled cheese sandwiches.
We've been snacking on Nutella Pinwheel and Rainbow cookies here and there that my wife baked.
For dinner, we're having an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms, a main course of lamb shanks with mashed potatoes with a cabernet from Sonoma, and a dessert of Ricotta cake.

Same Here
The weather was part... Smoked Prime rib and Lobster tail was on the menu at the DD and husbands place. But hes come down sick, Covid negative, but cough and fever. To cold to smoke outside.
So we stayed home and tossed mainated chicken (left overs that didn't fit on the grill from their wedding) and yellow rice in the Instapot.

Somewhat in line with the topic of Christmas menus, here is Google’s list of the most searched for Christmas cookies for 2023 by state:
https://www.axios.com/2023/12/18/chr...source=twitter
Quote:
Zoom in: Italian Christmas Cookies were the top cookie in 13 states, more than double the six states from 2022, Google Trends curator Katie Seaton told Axios.
Seaton said the Italian cookies dominated the East Coast both this year and last year.
Of note: The number of states with some version of a gingerbread cookie decreased by more than half from 2022, Seaton said. This year, three states searched most for gingerbread, down from seven.
Peanut butter blossoms were the dominant cookies for four states, a decrease from six last year.

What defines an Italian Christmas cookie? I made a batch of Sicilian almond cookies yesterday for our 7 fishes dinner tonight. But there are lots of types of Italian cookies....
Here's our Christmas Eve 7 fishes menu:
Antipasti:
Shrimp
Pizza with Salmon and capers
Bagna Cauda (anchovy, garlic cream) dip with crusty bread.
For the main:
A roasted whole bass on a bed of fennel
Cous con Pesce (a very fishy, very Eastern Sicilian dish)
Baked scallops
Mussels in white wine over pasta
Dessert:
Almond cookies
Panettone

Waffle House hash browns all the way. Meeting a widower friend there on my way to extended family where I'll probably get fed some ham and mid-western casserole/salad type stuff along with lots of cookies.
