Probably would work. How about pepperoni?

Prime Rib for Christmas dinner

I got a big tube of Flex Glue in my stocking...that will have to suffice.

It's funny.....without any coordination or hint dropping, my mom and step dad and Ronnie and I all seem to coordinate and Christmas becomes The Christmas Of......(fill in the blank) This year Christmas is The Year of Knives and Fire Ronnie got me two knife sharpeners that I've been needing.....Santa (me) got him a couple of Wusthof knives for us (me lol). And my mom and step dad got us two GORGEOUS knives--one is Messermeister by Virgina Boys Kitchens and the other a Kessaku! Then I got Ronnie the Bison fire starter--and he got me the torch. Many things will be cut and set on fire in the coming days.....

Oysters, king crab legs and salad for Christmas Eve. Perfect ending to the day

Thank you! So easy and so great to have in the freezer. Here is the thread discussing them . I've taken quite a few short cuts and they are still wonderful. Lay out puff pastry, make a log out of Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage. Place at the bottom of the square of puff pastry, roll it up, slice into portions and freeze. I place them on a cookie sheet and throw it in the freezer. Next day put them in a ziplock freezer bag. To bake, take them out, place them on a cookie sheet (or I use the pan that came with my CSO) on a piece of parchment paper. 350F for about 20-25 mins.

Not fancy at all, but good. Spray your slow cooker very very well with non-stick cooking spray. 30 oz bag of frozen shredded potatoes 24 oz container of sour cream 4 cups of shredded cheddar, divided Salt and pepper Mix potatoes, sour cream, s and p and 3 cups of cheddar. Place in slow cooker on high for about 3 1/2 hours (mine took 4 and could've gone longer). When done add remaining cup of cheese on top and let melt then serve.

I promise. Ronnie shot it Saturday.

Quail and pasta last night

Had Ronnie's kids and grandkids over to do our Christmas. Most years we do it Christmas Eve day with a brunch. Cookies, snack mix, veggie dip in a bread bowl, cranberry jalapeño jelly over cream cheese, crock pot cheesy potatoes, french toast casserole and scrambled eggs.

I can't wait to show him--he will get a kick out of that 🤣

Pizza and salad last night

Could you share your recipe? Do they take a long time? My Grammy used to make those. I liked them.

I don't seem to be planning evening meals very well--that happens when I feel stressed about the holidays lol. Anyway, I discovered we were completely out of shrimp and that won't do. I ordered from Pike's Place. Got some lovely salmon So we had that (oh the skin was soooo good....nice and crispy) with pasta and crusty bread Last night for the beginning of winter we had oysters and a seafood stew of sorts.

These are gorgeous. I know how much hard work it is. I used to do them for special customers at work. That's a job I'm glad to be rid of lol.

No, just regular vegetable oil.

Baked 6 loaves of bread yesterday. Ran out of oomph, so 2 more to go today.

Not quite as easy as store bought dressing, but I use this mix from The Spice House. I keep a jar in the fridge at all times and it's never solidified on me.

Soooooooo, I am obsessed with these mushrooms lol. I cannot stop eating them. I made a jar for my brother and sister in law for their Christmas basket. Today I scored 6 more boxes of mushrooms for 99 cents a piece!!!

Wow! I've never seen it for sale before. A few years ago I had this happen to some of my garden corn. Like @IowaDee said, farmers here are horrified if it happens in the field corn. I really liked it--tasted like a corny mushroom.

Good grief, you guys are amazing. Now I want to make toffee. But, like Linda, you have already exhausted me and I just got up!

My mom and step dad sent us oysters!!!! So, oysters and fried shrimp last night.

I had that happen with a can of pineapple once. Or twice.

Ronnie got a few quail the other day so I roasted them in the CSO last night.
