              Christmas dinner and more,

 The Christmas food you have seen us cook and serve before so we will concentrate on the more part of this post.. So yesterday it was Sichuan fragrant goose a BilletHead favorite.  

   Not to the more part. This started a couple days ago. Venison Confit. 2 to 4 lb. roast brined in sugar, salt, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, star anise pods, smashed garlic, allspice berries and juniper berries. 2 quarts of water. 10 to 72 hours we did 24 plus hours. Then air dried for a few hours. Vac sealed in bag with goose fat, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary and a couple bay leaves. This was put in a sous vide bath for 10 to 24 hours,  

   We pulled  at approx. 18 hours and shredded. Hard to stop eating as this was done. Silky and moist.. Pat started making the South Carolina BBQ sauce as I browned and crisped the meat up,

 

      Served on sweet buns with slaw with side of dill pickle and oven garlic fries. 

  

     Yummy!

Chili and jalapeno corn bread, for halftime.  Built the chili this morning about 8:00 so it would have some time to meld.  And there will be beer. Just Lite Beer from Miller, nothing fancy.  But I like it so there!

Black walnuts I hope.  Best cookies ever. They look great!

LOL It seems like I spent a lot of my young life, picking up walnuts, cracking them, and picking the meats out, still don't like them.  But I do have a friend that for the last few years had been making black Walnut syrup, tapping several trees and boiling it down like maple syrup.  Has promised to bring me some, as I claimed I don't like black walnuts, he says it doesn't taste like black walnuts and will put maple syrup to shame.  If I ever get some I will let you know.

Simple sauce recipe. I use it for pizzas too

1 can of tomato sauce I think it was 14 oz

1 1/2 tsp of garlic salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp sugar

2 squirts of ketchup, or a heaping tablespoon

2 tbsp dry Italian seasoning

add that to approx. 3/4-1lb browned hamburger with 1 cup combined chopped onion and  chopped green bell pepper (1/2 cup each)

can also add 1 small drained can of sliced mushrooms, I didn't have them this time.

add 1/4 c  hot pasta water

Replace half of that burger with Italian sausage to kick it up a notch....
