What's On The Table for Christmas?

[Inor]

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!

Thank God for our wives. We would all be up Shit Creek without them.

Prayers upward bound for yours.

Sorry for your loss Big Ken
Lord lift up Big Ken and his people and ease his heart that his dad is living in glorious peace!



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...


(Now pass some vittles you knuckleheads!)

Thank You

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

Hey neighbor to the south, I stand praying for your wife and her treatments as she copes with recovery and her loss of energy. When you turn on the man flicks to watch, don't forget Reindeer Games.

Oh yea .... back to the table. My wife insists on her dressing and green bean casserole. I pitched in a smoked ham. The kids appreciate the abundance of food and camp out for a few days. When they ditch us and stop coming by for the holidays I am changing the program.

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 have to admit the ham just wasn't worth the trouble this time. It seems they must have over salted it when they cured it. A wasted $50. Looked good but just too salty for my taste. Anyway I decided to practice making a cherry pie from fresh sour cherries I froze ove rthe summer. The filling was perfect so much better than the can filling you can buy. Now I just need to practice on the pie crust.

My brother went all out this year. Fried turkey, baked ham, AND a medium-rare roast beef. Tons of sides. I did the appetizers, including stuffed shrimp, and hot spinach and artichoke dip with Romano cheese.

Last night with Hot Nursey's family we did Chili with cornbread.

Today my Mom went crazy (more so than usual) and made three different meats- Turkey, Ham and Prime Rib. All delicious. Sides were mashed taters, stuffing, fried okra and my world famous spicy green bean casserole.

With the ambient being in the high 50's, . . . got out the deep fryer, . . . tied them turkey legs together right good, . . .

350 Deg F, . . . later, . . . slipped him in and carefully watched him for the next 35 minutes, . . .

Pulled him out, . . . onto a pan, . . . into the kitchen, . . . let him set for about 10 minutes, . . . he basically fell apart, . . . but still very moist inside.

Added some baked sweet potatoes, . . . among other things, . . .

Finished it off with one of my mother's apple pie recipes in her favorite pie pan.

May God bless,
Dwight
