I smoked a boneless pork roast yesterday, and it is in the Crock Pot right now on Warm.
I made bread yesterday, along with some Au Gratin taters.
Also made a Rachael Ray recipe no-bake cheesecake that is Yum-o.

I can't travel due to medical things, so as usual it will just be me and my lovely wife enjoying our little feast.

Rotisserie turkey and prime rib, both on the kettle. Should be enough for the crowd of 20 or so coming🙄. All the usual sides and desserts pot luck style.

Turned out to be leftover chicken nuggets, funyuns and chili cheese flavored corn chips. Made it home in 3hrs 25min non-stop, so that was nice. No tickets, guy who passed me up on 110 got a nice one.

Christmas morning breakfast, courtesy of my amazing DIL.

Monkey bread in the foreground, already sampled. 😋

Chorizo bake.

With an obligatory Christmas mimosa.

Our prime rib came out perfectly. Only the thinnest of grey rinds from the sear, otherwise wall to wall pink, explosively juicy, and melt in mouth tender. Success!

Wife's family is getting a bit older so Christmas eve we are going out to an Italian restaurant, and I will somehow, someway get 7 fishes in.

For Christmas day, my Sister-in-law makes home-made Manicotti!! They start out with an awesome antipasto. Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, salami, balsamic vinegar and oil. Then about 7-8 manicotti with all kinds of meat simmered in sauce. Needless to say, there is a solid nap afterwards. Then Italian cookies and pastries, coffee and gifts. I will be stuffed but very happy!
