What you all cookin for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Reverse sear Ribeyes, baked potatoes, home made macaroni and cheese, brussel sprouts, rolls, and banana pudding for dessert.

Should be going down in about an hour or so!
 
The trick to making a ham edible these days is a few hours indirect on the Weber kettle. I had given up on ham.

I understand we are also having tater salad, sweet tater casserole, macaroni & cheese, no collards for some reason (what is that even all about?!), banana split pie and a chocolate pinwheel.
 
Everyone but my mom has gone home. She'll be staying the night and watching the kids for me in the morning allowing me to have a last chance at shooting a buck this year (a great Christmas present). Nice to have a quiet family dinner after what feels like day's of parties with friends and extended family. Elk Wellington, twice baked potatoes, with roast carrots and eggnog Tres leches cake for dessert.20251225_180551.jpg
 
So 2 things
1- Holy shit do we have a lot of cardboard to get rid of.
2. The prime rib was great but with kids and everyone liking different things and that many young kids running around that was a nightmare. With all the food we prepared trying to time it all and not have the wife and I kill each other. Simpler food for Christmas next year and save the good stuff for new years for just us.

The smoked prime rib turned out absolutely fantastic. Possibly the best chunk of meat I’ve ever had. Thanks to the brain trust for giving me the confidence to give it a go. It was also the most of any one thing my very picky 2-year-old has eaten in a sitting, so I’ll take that as a compliment. Now if the broncos would just put the ribbon on top with what should have been a gimme win, I can go to sleep happy.
