What are you cooking for Christmas 2015?

[Cinredman]

I'm using the recipe from the Pioneer Woman, Ree. Never tried them but heard they are to die for. I'm making a half recipe, it calls for 4# of mushrooms I'm doing 2. They are simmering as we speak (or type as the case may be) and the house smells like what heaven might if God likes mushrooms (which I'm guessing he does)! I googled it.

After reading this post, I am making these shrooms to go with the beef tenderloin. Thank you for posting!

I had a stroke a long time ago.  my local fire station helped me.  So every year I cook 6 racks of ribs and a pork butt for my local neighborhood fire station that took me to the hospital..  My way to say thank you to the Men and women at the station.

 Normally we have Christmas Eve here, but our two daughters are with their in-laws tonight. Which leaves us home alone with Bella! As I'm Italian, we celebrate the Eve with "Feast of seven fishes".  Smoked oysters, cherrystone clams, and some herring I smoked, for snacks with crackers, etc. Shrimp cocktails,  salmon on the grill, and a seafood gumbo with shrimp, scallops, and clams. Also some steamed crab legs.
   As we speak I'm smoking two 12lb. hams for my wife's family's gathering tomorrow. She's making extra creamy mashed taters...20lbs. worth. The gathering varies between 35 - 40 folks. It's great to gather, celebrate and eat with loved ones!

We hope ALL LTBBQ members, their family and friends have a most wonderful Christmas!

 Buon Natale!!!!!!!

Shrooms almost took center stage to tenderloin.

Few addition picks
Dry ages for 36 hours, not how dry and tight meat surface. 


Seared on hot plate. Should have applied light coat of oil


Roasted in nesco at 400 till IT hit 130, then off to rest after coating with Shallot butter


A few family members can't handle red meat, so I cooked small roast to 140; forgive me people!

All sliced up for serving

PR ready for the kettle


About 3 hours at 200-225 and allowed to rest for awhile. Before serving I lit a half basket and cooked the PR direct for about 3 minutes per side


Plated with some TB Taters also cooked on the kettle, collards and black-eyed peas.

Perfect beef. Low and slow is the only way to do PR
