Seemed like a good evening to thaw out a backstrap provide by my wife a few weeks ago.  Seasoned and given a few minutes on the Blackstone, wonderful sear and dead rare in the middle.  Some fresh pulled turnips and I added some bush baked beans cause I like them.

I wish everyone of you a blessed and happy Christmas eve and Christmas Day.

Isn't it amazing what carving a turkey does to moisturize your hands?

We did the family thing Thursday.  Today I did a turkey in a Butterball oil less fryer which is actually a roaster.  Cooks hot, ten minutes per pound.  Has a pan for wood chips or pellets.  Apple and beech went in today.  Turkey injected with creole butter and heavy rubbed with Lawry's.  I always use a thermometer, turkey at 165 and left to rest for an hour or so is about as right as I can do.  It's no joke good.

Dressing and green bean casserole are in the oven, gravy is ready.

Merry Christmas to all my friends, family and the whole wide wonderful world.

Wife felt poorly today. Nasty first day of a cold.

I took some homemade chicken stock from the freezer and added onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms, peas, orzo pasta plus herbs and spices.

Homemade chicken noodle soup. She looks better already.

Might get a covid test.  The new omicron variant is very mild and getting confused as a cold.  My daughter has it and it’s a very mild case.  She tested positive twice for covid but we are just assuming it’s omicron.    They didn’t test for specific variant.    

Wife and I have been exposed to her for 5 days now but no symptoms.    I know at least a dozen people with it currently all mild cases they assume is omicron.   If we get it it my wife and I hope it’s this version because it’s very mild.

Good advice. As it happens, we tested both Friday, before we went to my sister's, and yesterday morning, before the daughter came over. We plan to test again today or tomorrow.

Did a prime rib last night. Reverse seared it at 250  till it hit 120 (about 3 hrs). Pulled & Rested it on the counter for 45 minutes, then covered with a stick  of soft butter and into a 550 degree oven for 15 minutes, pulled at 130 and it was perfect, crusty & rare edge to edge., No need to rest it further, just slice and consume. Poaching gift box of Harry & David pears from the office unwanted pile today. Poached pears, w pecans, & blue cheese to go with leftover beef tonight.
