Holiday meals

The Yancey · 12-25-2012, 10:14 AM

Seder is over. We have Christmas today. Kwanzaa coming along with New years day. What ya'll cooking and eating?

Every year my wife's family asks me to make my mashed potatoes. I really didn't understand the fascination at first, because I just use the same basic recipe that my mother always used when I was growing up. That was until I tasted the crap they'd been living off of for years. (instant mashed potatoes)

Anyways here is what I do:

1 5lb bag of red potatoes, washed and chopped into small pieces.
2 sticks of butter (sometimes 3 or 4)
1 small container of sour cream
salt to taste
splash of milk for desired consistency.

Boil the potatoes in water until they are soft. Drain, and mash using a hand masher. Return the freshly mashed potatoes to low heat and toss in the butter and sour cream, and stir until it's completely melted. Add salt and milk to get the desired taste and consistency.

Cooking a big ole turkey on the grill, it's only got an hour left before it's done!

The Yancey · 12-25-2012, 02:51 PM

Only a few of us so I am going sort of lite this year. Turkey mignons on the grill with a Cajun butter cranberry mustard glaze, a small Kentucky Legend sliced ham that I will kick up with a Coke Bourbon glaze, Sweet potato and pineapple casserole, asparagus, collards & kale, dressing and gravy. There will be a variety of good cheeses, olives, nuts and the like. I'm particularly fond of hot pepper jelly on cream cheese and ginger marmalade on brie. Cheese cake, and apple and pecan pies will round it out. Oh, biscuits too.

Where was my invite Yancey? Geez, why are you so selfish?

Kickerspl80 · 12-25-2012, 05:17 PM

Yance, the coke Bourbon glaze sounds like a good addative to the ham. Just curious what type of Bourbon and would pepsi suffice?

The Yancey · 12-25-2012, 05:33 PM

Like rum or wine or beer always use something that you would not mind drinking. Pepsi should work just fine. Here is the recipe I started with: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/1...n_1055166.html

We've got Venison tender loins marinated and wrapped in bacon. Will grill in about an hour. Also have venison summer sausage cut up for appetizers.
