Christmas Dinner?

[B_Metal]

So tomorrow I'm frying my first turkey and I thought I'd see what you'se guys were doing for dinner this year. I'm sure some of you have some delightful dishes and I want to hear all about them.

My turkey is injected with a "creole butter" seasoning that we've used before. Great flavor, not too spicy and just great on the tongue. I rubbed the outside of the bird with a local rub called "Grub Rub." (click linky to see if a retailer near you carries it) Shit is great for damn near every meat known to man. Try it if you can.

I'll touch base tomorrow and let you guys know how it turned out.

Last night we had TexMex Christmas. Made creamy enchiladas verde, pork and beef tamales, refried beans, black beans, spanish rice, chili con queso. There was also a massive fucking spread of sweets. There were mini cheese cakes I did not even find out about until midnight!

We're eating Spaghetti Pie over at my sister's tonight. CHOW.

Took the turkey out after 90 glorious minutes of manroundfire-ness because it was a 30lb bird. Epic culinary delight was had. So juicy, so tender, so moist and warm, and that was just my crothal region after smelling this bird.

Seriously this was great especially considering it was my first and it turned out perfect. Some of the non-traditional meals you guys had sound freaking awesome too. Christmas Dinner 2010 rocked balls. YEAH!!

Her folks did a big traditional dinner, but I didn't gorge myself. Still got stuffed and took a nap though. Ham, turkey, dressing, giblet gravy, taters, rolls, green bean casserole ftw.

Swedish meatballs, mussels, spinach artichoke dip, meat chili cheese dip, wild rice meatballs, German sausage, and other assorted items. It was awesome. Just snacked all day and drank beer.

George and his two brothers picked up a catered an Italian Christmas dinner special from this awesome deli near his house, and we all brought it over to his sister's place. It was a package deal for a flat price, which all included a 3 foot sub (half turkey, half Italian), a pan of meatballs and sauce, a pan of baked ziti, a pan of chicken parm, a pan of sausage and peppers, a big green salad (with two kinds of dressing), and a platter of dinner rolls. We also brought over dessert, which was a pudding cake, and a tray of "hot chocolate" cupcakes (cupcakes made with dark chocolate, cocoa, and marshmallow icing). Oh, yes, Weight Watchers on New Years day, here I come!

I cooked for 11. Dinner was:

Roasted Turkey (boy, it was juicy and delicious)
Gluten Free Stuffing (made with brown rice bread, sausage, almonds, celery, onions, etc)
Mashed baby red potatoes
Green Beans with almonds
Yams
BBQ lil' smokies
Haywain Sweet rolls

Jess' grandmother said my stuffing could win an award.

[Shit Dickface]

Can I get a recipe for that gluten free stuffing?

[Chris Miller]

Similar to this:

Except I used 1 loaf of brown rice bread, and I added sausage and sliced almonds.

Brined a turkey today (the 26th) for 5 hrs in Alton Brown's fool proof bird brine. Sooooo moist. I didn't have time to marinate it for the recommended minimum of 8 hrs, so I imagine the flavor penetration wa s a little sub par, but it was still really fucking good. First turkey I ever made in my life, and it was a resounding success. Later: Scotch & a fine cigar on the front porch. IN the cold & possible snow. Fuck it, I'm on vacation, and that's how I roll.

Nice, Iggy!

Alton Browns brining method is pretty spectacular. I'm sure all enjoyed it.
