The Jambalaya went over well last year and they want it again so it looks like that will be on the menu here.
I think I'll smoke a turkey as well just in case someone wants that.  At this point we have almost 30 people this year so it's gonna be a BIG pot...


I think a Louisiana themed Christmas is an excellent idea!  Looks awesome.  What time is dinner?

I am also making about 6 batches of the "Chex Mix" following the most original recipe my father always followed. The only "additions" are cheezit and pretzel sticks

Christmas Eve is my meal of choice, and my wife like Christmas meal best so we have big meals for both nights, both prepped and cooked by me,  Thankfully my parents take on the task of hosting Christmas Eve, because hosting back to back days was brutal on us.

Christmas Eve (feast of the 7 Fishes): Smoked Salmon display, Clams casino (my way), Seared Tuna, Stuffed Calamari, Crab stuffed mushrooms/mini peppers, whole roasted bronzino, Shrimp Cocktail, and new this year oysters rockefeller, and of course main meal of Linguine with clam sauce.

Christmas: Spiral Ham, Fried turkey, then the usual mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potato and cranberries, asparagus, biscuits, with a few other odds and ends.

The store has these huge stuffed mushrooms I have been eyeballing. They are the size of a plate. Might make those with some grilled shrimp and a salad.

There will be 4 of us a 4 bone standing rib roast in TBE. My doesn't want it any other way. She doesn't want me in her oven while she does the real magic. Other than the prime rib, it will be pretty much of a surprise to me.

Any details on the 9 hour mushrooms? Sounds interesting

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.
