Thanksgiving is more the Holiday where I demand a specific meal.
The only Christmas food MUST for me is sausage balls on Christmas morning. This year I'm planning on going outside in my Sweatshirt and my ultra-classy Dale Earnhardt pajama pants and grilling some Ribeyes after we open presents and relax for a while. Probably have the wife season some jumbo shrimp with old bay and fry them in a pan with butter??? You're the Iron-Chef, any recommendations for pre-cooked frozen jumbo shrimp from Sam's Club????

If you already have them, my first choice would be to make shrimp cocktail...always a favorite. You could also thaw them, chop them up and mix with equal parts sour cream and cream cheese, a little paprika and lemon juice and use for a really awesome spread on warm bread. If you have your heart set on scampi, what I'd do is melt butter, garlic, some salt and pepper in a pan. Use lots of butter and med to low heat so you don't burn the garlic. When everything is melted together, throw in the thawed shrimp and immediately take the pan off the heat. Toss and serve right away to prevent any further cooking. |

Coming from an Italian/Catholic upbringing, it was always a tradition on Christmas Eve to have the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_the_Seven_Fishes (Feast of Seven Fishes)
My mom's traditional Christmas Dinner has always been a standing or prime rib roast and king crab legs, oven browned potatoes, peppercorn red wine reduction and assorted sides and desserts I still do the Prime rib and shell fish, but not the seven fishes since family is all over the country now |

Growing up, I don't think we did a special Christmas Eve meal, as Mom put a lot of time and effort into the Christmas Day meal. We probably went out to dinner the night before to give Mom a break. Christmas morning was usually French toast with NY maple syrup, bacon, fruit, etc...
Thanksgiving was usually a huge Plainville turkey and all the trimmings. Usually for Christmas she did a crown roast of pork, prime rib, sirloin or tenderloin roast, or leg of lamb...likely with whipped or oven roasted potatoes, gravy, a few vegetable side dishes, baked apples, and various desserts (a large assortment of homemade Christmas cookies, pies, and cakes). Now that out I'm on my own I do things a bit differently...I can't eat turkey anymore so I just do a sirloin or tenderloin roast with the usual trimmings for both Tgiving and Christmas. I'm a bit burned out on baking, so I took a Godiva gift card I got from a friend of mine for my birthday and bought some decadent-looking brownies. Those will be served with peppermint stick ice cream and hot fudge. Last edited by LilRedCorvette; 12-21-2012 at 10:42am. |

I know there is a cooking section but have y'all got any secret tips for the standing rib roast? I may give it a try.

I always marinate the roast for at least 24 hours with Liquid Aminos.... nothing else... Then next day bring roast to room temp.. or 2-3 hours on the counter... I then use a deep aluminum roasting pan to mix about 5 # of Mortons Pickling Salt with a can of beer... making a paste.... Line bottom of pan with salt and then lay roast on top of the bed of salt. then completely pack remaining salt around roast... Insert thermometer in roast before putting in oven... PS.. I preheat oven to about 450 degrees first.. then put roast in for about 10 minutes at this temp and then dial it down to 200 for the remaining time.. This will harden the salt while it seals the juices inside slow cooking... Enjoy!!!!!! Roscoe... |

^^^ I do a whole fish (like a snapper) in a salt crust and it comes out delicious.
