Chanukka at my house yesterday, we decided to do "Linner" late afternoon so those of us who work could be home/rested. Mom made latkes and brought them to be reheated (a B+ batch, she had some Yukon Golds in the mix and they didn't crisp as well as usual), the obligatory applesauce and sour cream to top. Sis made salad with baby arugula, oranges, strawberries, almonds and a simple balsamic dressing. I made "asian" flavored meatballs (oven baked in a sauce without pre-browning, a timesaver) which were a big hit. I had bought 85%-15% ground turkey instead of my usual 93% lean and I had to add more panko to hold them together, that was a panic moment, but the texture was still good when cooked. Purchased cooked shrimp from Wegmans, served cold with cocktail sauce. Mixed berry pie, ice cream, and fruit slices (almost unbearably sweet, but deliciously intense flavors) from an upscale confectioner my Uncle frequents. Kind of a weird combo of foods, but it was sort of a nod to foods I knew everyone liked.

Didn't have any mushrooms which you should try to include.   Sauted floured chicken tenders, then sliced onions.   Sour cream with some flour stirred in, chicken broth.    Dash Worchestershire and Dijon mustard.

What we have always done. We used beef and always shrooms. Though...I had an Australian chef in the kitchen at a rehearsal dinner I was prepping for my sister's wedding (Justin Fortune). It was a zoo at the house and everybody was quite hungry and jet-lagged. . I sent him on an errand outside and used Cream of Mushroom soup!  Hid the can at the bottom of the bin. Also plenty of black pepper and a pinch of mustard powder versus Dijon. Not a spoonful left over.

[Franci]

Tofu, frittata, sauté mushrooms and zucchini 

[Norm Matthews]

Tomorrow is a pot luck dinner at my sister's house with turkey and ham.  Today Charlie and I had Christmas eve dinner with a rib roast, potato pancakes, coleslaw and mac & cheese.

[JoNorvelleWalker]

 

This was supposed to have been chicken cacciatore.  It isn't.  Amazon sent the wrong mushrooms.  I had never cooked Portobello mushrooms before.  Here with deckle portion of dry aged ribeye.

 

[BonVivant]

Dinner was not much but hey, I got to see Etna today.

 

 

Where I got the "wild" asparagus

 

 

Sicily's most iconic natural beauty and is the island's top tourist attraction.

 

At sunset, seen from the Greek theatre.

 

This is the Greek theatre. Like Sardinia and Corsica, anyone who has an army or navy has been here.

Tri-tip steak, cooked SV then seared, served with latkes (from Trader Joes) and steamed Brussels Sprouts in butter.  Glass of a Lodi red blend.

So many wonderful meals.   And photos.

 

I was out of bread (how does that happen) so I started a 1000g  batch of dough yesterday morning and baked late afternoon.

We had our Traditional Christmas Eve dinner - Tourtiere.

Moe loves his served with a homemade chili tomato sauce. I still had a bottle left of the sauce I canned last year.

I prefer mine with gravy.

Bell & Evans chickens were on sale on amazon.  When will I ever learn?  There are few culinary tasks I despise more than breaking down a chicken.  Besides, amazon could not supply the mushrooms I needed for my chicken cacciatore.

 

Anyhow, two dishwasher loads later dinner was a breast quarter steam baked in the CSO.  Mashed potato and peas.

I might be strange, but I quite enjoy it, as I do filleting fish and dissecting pretty much everything. What type of mushrooms did you need; can't they be subbed?

Exactly.

I cooked Christmas dinner, but we had it next door at our friends Clif and Barb.

 

Boned out two of the biggest Cornish Game Hens I've ever seen.  1.150 K each. Stuffed with a wild rice stuffing. They were so good, I'm going to go back 

to the store and buy a few for the freezer. From a farm over on the mainland, near Vancouver. 

 

I adapted the stuffing which I usually make with  mushrooms and subbed in apricots and figs because Clif is not a fan of mushrooms.

Served with a port sauce which went well with the sweeter stuffing.  

 

Forgot to take pictures of the roasted birds but did take one at the table. I should have turned the plate around to show the stuffing.

I did not take picture of our Christmas dinner, but here is Christmas Eve's. I made Indian food. Corinder chicken curry, paneer butter masala, rice and naan. The curry and paneer were Meera Sodha's recipes, and they were both delicious

If I didn't worry about getting juices all over me and the kitchen I might find it more calming.

 

The mushrooms I wanted were little brown ones, with the gills still closed or barely open.  I would have been happy enough with little white.  But what amazon sent were saucer sized adult Portobello.

They can be chewy/meaty texture. I prefer the big guys grilled or stuffed .
