The supermarket had two 4-ounce frozen lobster tails for ten bucks, so
I bought a package. We had leftover (already cooked once) top sirloin
from last night. I made cole slaw. The trick was to reheat the top
sirloin without cooking it and without using the microwave. I did a
adequate job, so we had surf and turf.
Oh...and I cooked a Sara Lee pumpkin pie, so that's available. Merry
Christmas Eve, everybody, and Merry Christmas tomorrow!

It's easy to do in the microwave if you use 30 or 40% power for a couple of
minutes. It will heat the meat through without turning it into a roof
shingle.

We had my nephew and his family over for supper, as we do every
Christmas Eve. It is a tradition to have a light meal of meat pie and
salad because we used to go out to a party later, but tonight we had
garlic mashed potatoes and green beans.

I made chocolate eclairs for dessert and we had a fruit salad and
selection of tarts and cookies.

We had people in for most of the day. We had ham, corn pudding, peas, and
Lighthouse Potatoes. We had date nut bread, cookies, and pumpkin pie for
dessert. I am thankful that everyone is gone now and the parties are over,
though I did enjoy them. Merry Christmas to you and yours Dave.

It's the first time I ever made them, which I don't usually like to do when
people are coming since I like to know what the recipe tastes like, but they
were really good and the guests liked them too.

Another reason to get a sous vide circulator - reheating beef to an
exact temperature without cooking it any further.

My ham is still in the spa @ 140F. I didn't put it into until
2:30PM. Probably at around 7:30. Usually I'd rehat it cook it a
lot longer to make it more tender.

Yeast rolls, 3-cheese risotto (mostly pecorino), snap peas, and a
pickle-olive assortment.

I was tired of roast ham so this morning I sliced off enough to fill
two 1 qt ziplocs and froze them. The very meaty bone became soup.
filled a four qt pot. Got a cute female visitor chowing down on the
soup parings:
