    We always do seafood on the Eve. Traditionally, it's seafood salad, followed by pasta with crab sauce, and then lobster. But this year I'm chillin' solo so just gonna have oysters and sushi. (Long story short- wife is in London taking care of some family matters and she didn't make it back before flights from the UK were banned.)

    I'll get up tomorrow and light the BBQ. Gonna do a pork shoulder. 


    Italian?  The "feast of seven fish" of Christmas.
    Yes. But being from the south, it was always loads of different shellfish.

    All of your meals looks great. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Usually, I go to some friends out in the suburbs. She always does a huge feast - last year it was filet mignon, shrimp, homemade calzones, cheesecake, etc. all good. This year, for obvious reasons she is not having people over. I am Jewish so I am ok with not having a Christmas dinner this year. Will probably grab some Thai food and watch a movie.

    Bummer she is stuck. Hope everything is okay. I usually do a pretty solid, if I say so myself, pot of cioppino. But with not having everyone together this year, just too much.

    A Merry Christmas Eve from soggy, windy Georgia. After an hour of fighting the wind and smoker temps, I finally devised a suitable (read: makeshift) windbreak so I can get this 10-lb garlic butter-smothered prime rib on the grates. Cooking at 225° and expecting around a 6-hour smoke. I'll rest it, then sear it, then serve it, followed by a slice of pecan pie I made last night. Also smoking a clove of garlic to be put into some mashed potatoes. 

    So, what's everybody's plan for their holiday?
    This looks like it will be awesome. Definitely want to see the finished product

    Thanks? My mom could read that. She is fluent in Hebrew. But I wasn’t really raised with much religion.

    That looks wonderful. I still can taste the ahi I ate when I was honeymooning in Hawaii. Can't wait for the finished pics.
