It's been a while, and I'm getting ready to put a turkey in the oven
for a family Christmas party today, already took the butts out of the
smoker much earlier this morning. Planked salmon and a little beef
going on the grill later on, thankfully the rain has stopped.

So I figured I'd take a minute and wish the a.f.b crew a very Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year. Here's looking forward to 2010.

Cheers,
Dana

Nice to start another thread of good wishes. The other attempt was
derailed.

I am enjoying wiping away the fog of Christmas, family, and overall
holiday confusion. I enjoy it when it is here, and I enjoy it when it
is gone.

We are having beautiful weather here with 58F, and not a cloud in the
sky. I have a couple of racks of spares on the pit (WSM coasting at
260F), and will follow up this evening with cucumber salad and roasted
sweet potatoes as sides. I like this part of the holidays!

I actually thought about it for a minute, and went with the holidays
we
observe at this house. Fact is, even in secular Hong Kong, they've
been
celebrating Christmas for decades, so it's not even a religious thing
if you're not into it :-)

I know exactly what you mean.

Sounds delicious. I did a turkey this year but suspect I'll focus on
Q next year.
