What's cooking?

I asked my kids what's they wanted for X mas dinner. " Potato latkes, noodle kugel, and pot roast". I had to smile a little? I opted for a strip loin roast ala Lucretia, we just finished leftover pot roast . Should have took pictures sooner.

 

Nice pinky colour roast, Mike. Looks delish.

 

Those pics are perfect. Well met.

 

Nice looking roast! What's the verdict on the cut? Did it go over well?

Mine is in the oven right now. Needed to be cooked today, so we're doing pizza AND roast today. Although we might skip sides this evening and just gnaw on some flesh with horseradish sauce and vast quantities of wine.

 

simple prime wellington for one with hv an the only taters i like, yukons

 

Just a simple slow red braised pork hock, steamed bun and veggie. Soak the bun in the sauce, and tear the skin and meat with fork,, ,, ,, yum.

 

And more roast to go with the pizza:



Now need to bake some rolls and we'll be eating beast sandwiches until next year.

 

I would have some reserve if such delish looking roast will last till next year.

 

Nice!

 

Oxtail stew with celery root substituted for potatoes.

 

my dad wanted to do a beef Wellington for Xmas dinner. I helped. Turned out great. We all left he table hurting.
Got dad some bread baking stuff and some books. He wanted to try a recipe out. It turned out really nice.

 

Self explanatory

 

Mmmmmm.

 

Never eaten Beef Wellington, looks delicious. What is the cut? Looks like it should be reserved for the accomplished chef.

 

It isn't as hard as it seems. It can take can a little bit of time to prepare. We used a large piece of beef tenderloin but eye round or even a cut down strip would work.

 

Black eyed peas for new year's--you should have lots of luck. (looks good, too!)

Did you have some corn bread, too?

 

No corn bread. I hope that doesn't ruin my chance at some good luck!

 

The wife is away for the week so whipped myself up a bolognese sauce and washed it down with one of the left over ingredient.

 

Nice Alex! I did the same thing today

 

How nice to have free time for a week!
