TBG 150 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 A fair sized group will be arriving later. Of course, I'm the designated chief cook and bottle washer. I don't do the chit-chat and small talk stuff well. I'd rather be in the kitchen. I have a 10lb Prime Rib roast on the rotisserie with a pan under it to catch the drippings for the gravy. Au Jus for those that like it. Personal sized baked potatoes with fresh chives, bacon bits, sour cream and anything else people put on them. Grilled baby asparagus with finely chopped garlic, onions and olive oil. Fresh made rolls and biscuits with lots of butter and jam on the side. I wish I knew how to make a Yorkshire pudding like my mom used to make. It was soooo good. Hmmmm! Maybe Naga has a good recipe in his repertoire? Dessert is a long line of things that will be brought I'm sure. Lots of adult beverages will be flowing and a few bottles of champagne and sparkling wine are lining the bar I set up. Happy Non-Denominational Holiday Celebration, to this group, as no one can decide on what to call it without an argument. For the rest of us... Merry Christmas. It's the first that I can remember for a long time where the temperature was below 40F. Brrr! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Naga's the Yorkshire pudding expert, but we often have them with a roast on Sundays, so miss them out on Christmas day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG 150 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Looks like I'll never get to have a good Yorkshire pudding again. Mrs. Naga is keeping her recipe tightly tucked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG 150 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 A true culinary artist always deviates from a written recipe. They 'customize' it to fit their own needs, which generally yields a much better product that the original. Mrs. Naga likely makes it according to old family tradition. These are tried and true and contain a pinch of this and a bit of that and a whole lotta love. It's the love that makes it so special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead simple and uses up a fair bit of cheese.Word of warning though,do not add salt,the bacon and cheese did that.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowArt Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hello gentlemen (ladies?). Like the idea of this thread, shows there's more to us than just being pervs leering at lovely ladies on the internet. Well, to of us at least. 😉 If it's okay, I'll be lurking behind the furniture a bit to see if I can get some inspiration. Not much of a cook myself, but I can follow instructions. So if I see something posted I fancy, I can maybe look up a recipe and have a go at it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
