    What's On The Table for Christmas?

    Lets see some Christmas food and traditional recipes from you knuckleheads!

    A few years ago, we stopped preparing a traditional Christmas feast that usually was a Ham, Turkey or Chicken with all the fixins much like a Thanksgiving meal. And we started fixing a big ole mess of Lasagna!

    We had both sons and daughter in law over this past weekend and celebrated an early Christmas together by eating Lasagna, dispatching some freedom seeds and enjoying a nice little fire at the pit!

    Everyone is gone and its just me and Mrs Slippy on Christmas Day. We decided to go with Steaks and Asparagus for our Christmas day supper. I chose a big ole New York Strip and Mrs S went with a Ribeye. Grilled Asparagus with Mushrooms and Onions sauteed in butter and Worcestershire Sauce on the side.

    What say you?

    We decide to do a second take on Thanksgiving this year since Mom isn't doing well. Bourbon smoked ham, smoked turkey breast, dressing , mashed potatoes, broccoli with cheese sauce and homemade bread. Desert is cherry, pumpkin or coconut cream pie.

    I am smoking a standing rib roast this afternoon. Mrs Inor is making her famous cheesy potatoes. We made Lefse a couple days ago. As for the rest of the menu, I have no idea. We invited a few townies over that had nowhere else to go for Christmas, so whatever they bring is what we are eating. (I sure hope nobody brings anything with arugula or kale!)

    We are keeping it easy this year. Doing a simple spiraled ham in the oven with potato salad. Wife has been doing radiation therapy for 2 months and it's kicking her ass, not to mention burning the crap out of her. So, everything is low key and easy.

    Not bad actually, I am tired of this commercialized Christmas crap being forced down your throat. Running from store to store with your hair on fire spending money like the government because if you don't you somehow don't love your family. Bull shit.

    We kept the spending to a minimum this year, small tree and little fanfare. I am having coffee, listening to jazz while she cooks a quick breakfast. Then we will open the few presents. Done.

    My Dad will pop over later to eat and I am going to get some work done outside and pull a few guns from the safe for the range tomorrow. I will have the greatest Chistmas movie of all time on the TV in the garage (Die Hard) and then follow that up with "Lethal Weapon", another Christmas movie.

    Have a Merry Christmas guys and gals.

    Ahhhh Merry Chistmas

    Dang it Prepared One, didn't know about your Wife and her radiation therapy, prayers for sure!

    Lord, ease the burn and pain in Mrs Prepared One during her treatments!

    And finally Thank You Lord for giving us the most precious important gift ever, your Son and our Savior Jesus Christ, and teach us to understand your will with our Faith! Amen...

    Thank you my friend. We are on the downside of it and according to the smart ass doctors, should have it beat. My wife is independent, tough, and fierce. I'll bet on her against anything thrown her way.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours. Now, get in that kitchen and eat!
