What's everyone making for Christmas? Happy to hear new ideas and other inspiration to maybe add to my menu. We're using uncooked leftover crab dip from the last batch, cocktail shrimp, and charcuterie plate for Christmas Eve. Some type of salad or snacking vegetables, too Gonna do a prime...

Same here. German family. Grew up eating cabbage all the time because it's cheap and last forever in the fridge. Wife e doesn't necessarily care for it, but if I make it she's got to eat it. New Year's is coming up and I always do Cajun Black eyed peas and rice, smothered cabbage, and fry...

The benefit is if that's your only grill you can use it for both smoking as well as doing great searing on something quick. That's not to say that you can't do that with just a regular kettle rule but it really does make it easier. I posted tons of photos in the thread of me having used it...

It looks like an oriental souffle. I don't think I take my eggs seriously enough.

That actually sounds like it turned out fantastic though. We don't ever make a lot of pot pies or anything with crust mixed with savory. My grandmother always used to make pasties when we were growing up and my mom still makes them, I've just never tried my hand at it.

Amazon has the Slow N Sear for the Weber kettle on sale right now for $90 vs $130. It's a great price if you're in the market for one. I love mine and I think I paid full when I picked it up. Totally worth the money, though. Slow ‘N Sear® Deluxe for 22" Charcoal Grill from SnS Grills...

Makes me want to make the Grady Spears Dr.Pepper cake. Basic chocolate sheet cake but probably the most moist cake I've had. The soda doesn't make it taste funky. Perfect with just plain old vanilla ice cream on top. I've got his cookbook somewhere and I'll have to try to find it. Pretty...

At least TX is spicy.

What was the second expansion supposed to be? I didn't realize that happened.

These videos are always interesting, newest one:

OH SHIT! REMEMBER GURRUUUUU

Edit: @Harshaw beat me to it

Gurruuuuu.....finals coming up!

I don't shop there regularly, but we have one across the road from the HEB, our normal grocery store. I agree that they charge way to much for certain items, but if you know the going rates, they've managed to keep their cost competitive for some staples skyrocketing with inflation. They're...

Haha, if we didn't use the bacon grease my mom used to do the same thing and put it on the dog kibble. The dogs always got table scraps. When you finish a meal all the stuff that wasn't going to go for leftovers one on to a designated plate and then down into the food bowls that went. We...

Yeah I think the only time I've ever had soda in the last number of years is if I'm traveling for work and I stop at a Whataburger, and as opposed to getting an iced tea or a water I'll get a diet soda of some sort. I never buy it and it's never kept around the house. The wife got me drinking...

Hummus is great, especially if you've got tahini and the pantry. We always keep cans of chickpeas floating around, and just make it ourselves, the flavor with whatever seasonings or pressure herbs we've got floating around. Use up whatever leftover raw vegetables you've got, and it makes a...

We don't cook bacon very often but when we do I always round up the grease after cooking it in the oven over foil, and into a small jar it goes. Use it to flavor sauces or fry up whatever. Parents always did that constantly growing up and they used to just keep it out in a container sitting...

I'll get a diet Coke or a diet Dr pepper every now and then, but normally it's iced tea, unsweetened with a splash of sweetened. If it isn't that I'm drinking water.

Yeah, he really is one of the only guys out there making great shows. I got to watch Midnight Mass this past year, and it's probably one of the best shows I've ever seen. I trust him to at least be true to the source material, but then again, you never know how much pressure the suits are...

Pan fried pork chops (thin ones) Steamed broccoli (in the microwave) Velveeta shells and cheese (doctored up with sour cream and more cheese) My mom used to make that all the time when I was growing up. Just a simple easy meal with not a whole hell of a lot of ingredients, but it's still one...

Sorry, I forgot the GURU....semi-finals time!

Could be a good one! Remember GURU @Bruuce

@Bruuce , remember Gurruuuuu!!!

Awwwww......shiiiiitttttt GURU!

Do you have a beef rouladen recipe that incorporates cottage cheese? If not you should develop such a phenomenal feat.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Damn weather screwed up things, but managed to get the bird on the grill. Unintentionally developed a Vanguard theme this year with my sides. Ended up wet brining the duck & spatchcocked, just didn't have time to do the whole 4-day process of drying it out. Didn't quite get the crispy skin I was...

Not currently. We're looking to try to move here soon and building, just trying to figure out where we're going to end up. My home will have a big covered patio area and outdoor kitchen. Until then, I'm at the mercy of the weather.

Is it raining there in Austin? It's pouring here in Houston and I'm trying to time my window to cook my duck out on the grill. Had no clue weather was going to be so bad today.

Now I know not to ever buy a traeger, thank you, sir.

Man, post some pics. Interested to see how it all turns out.

@Lanx what are you making this year. I'm going to try something new and see if it works with roast duck. Gonna roast a pheasant, too, since the duck isn't huge, and I want leftovers.

You are, especially if you enjoy seafood. Out of that stuff isn't an everyday meal, just like the snow crab, but when I do get a chance to have it it's simply wonderful. Growing up in New Orleans though, I guess I was spoiled with having access to crawfish all the time, and plenty of great...

Cooked the last bit of the sale snow crab last night. Turned out even better this time, managed to get a lot of smoke on everything, and even smoked the garlic butter. Going to pick and clean the leftovers and make a hot crab dip. We typically make a batch during the holidays for an appetizer...
