Outside the dugout: What's cooking?

We are also a New Years Eve couple. Never forget the date, but have lost track of the year a couple of times. Think it’s our 34th.

My wife was sick on Christmas so we’re having the dinner on New Years. Turducken with stuffing, yellow squash with bacon and onions, tomatoes and basil. My wife will probably bake pecan pie to go with vanilla ice cream (none for me—too sweet and vanilla is—wait for it—boring, aka “vanilla “)

 

Making split pea soup with the leftover ham bone from Christmas… with homemade croutons. Adding bacon as well.

Didn’t share last nights dish, but my wife took over and made eggplant parm which was outstanding. With all the bowl games and playoffs it was nice to have her handle the kitchen yesterday.

 

Tonight we’re going to have a spiral cut Honey Baked Ham, mashed potatoes, butter peas, black eyed peas, and biscuits.

Today we’ve had heavy fog, and light rain on and off with temps pretty much in the 50’s.

Adult beverages are available on the pick your preference format.

Tonight we’re going to be having chicken’n’rice— we have a couple of folks feeling a little bit under the weather behind those four days of hard cold and wind we had Christmas week.

So everyone has agreed chicken’n’rice is a good call. Rain and foggy here pretty much all day long. A hot apple spice-cider is available for whoever chooses, otherwise all choices are available too.

It’s that time according to available refrigerator space—tonight it will be a full smorgasbord of leftovers.

We had pretty heavy fog today lasting until about noon time. Thunderstorms are due to roll in here tonight and pretty much last most of the day tomorrow.

Thought this might be of interest. On another forum, a member posted this as their menu for Thanksgiving......

 

Dang Baz—

I feel like I oughta put on my Sunday church clothes just to read that!

 

Ha ha.....well I know I wear mine whenever I read this thread!

 

Tonight we’re going to be having one of our favorite Mexican style dishes for supper. It will be Fajita Chicken Chili—so good and supper in a bowl—served over rice and oh, so good!

The vote is in-the girls are doing Moscow mules-and the boys are going with Kentucky mules. A lot rain the last 24 hours.

We have Alan’s birthday party celebration on tap for tomorrow so we just picked up supper from Alby’s Chinese tonight—

Back in the low 40’s to mid 30’s day and night here.

Elijah Craig in a tumbler for me tonight-the girls stuck with their wine.

Cuban pulled pork in the slow cooker tonight. I had corn tortillas, homemade pico, rice & beans.

My son flew down to Jax this morning to watch the Jags play tonight. He flies back tomorrow. He’s already asked about the leftovers
