Slow cooked pork ribs with boiled potatoes and sour cabbage. It's a tradition to the point of pretty much being mandated by law at this point.

I'm having lobster tail, mushie peas and unclel Ben's rice. It's not the most elaborate meal but it's comforting and delicious.

Sushi tonight, but I'm making French onion soup for whenever over the next few days. Always better the next day.

[โ€“] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aw yes. Is it cold where you are? French onion soup is the best in chilly weather.

[โ€“] doc@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Yep. 40F and rain for a few days here. Need that warmth. Happy holidays!

My family has a tradition of following my Nonna's old family recipe for homemade pasta and sauce.

Thought it was Christmas eve dinner tonight but the person cooking changed it to tomorrow which doubles up with other family Christmas dinner. So thats a mess but now it's chinese takeout tonight.

[โ€“] JimmyChanga@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Chinese takeout was tradition on Christmas every for us from the 70's up till my digestion couldn't take it anymore, fond nostalgic Christmas memories.

I'm in the car while my wife runs in to grab our Xmas eve Chinese takeout. It's a nice tradition since we end up cooking up a storm on Christmas Day.

Texas barbeque because I'm sick of having turkey for every holiday and my SO doesn't want to get Peking duck because we're getting that for lunar New Year.

Hubs is making this with rice and bok choy. It's just us and our kiddo tonight https://nolimitcooking.com/2022/11/03/wedding-banquet-style-roasted-chilean-sea-bass/

Gnocchi with cream sauce, one of my favorites.

[โ€“] newtraditionalists@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

In respite from the prep cooking I've been doing and the big meal tomorrow we are ordering pizza tonight.

[โ€“] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 11 months ago

I'm on my own this year, since my wife is out of town. Friends invited me to have Christmas eve dinner with them last night. I brought vegan Swedish meatballs and rye bread (I made them both). They had a lot of good vegan and non-vegan food there. We also drank tequila and blackberry moonshine :). Tonight, I'm having leftovers, and I'm also making some cardamom buns.

Family tradition is pizza and wings after church on Christmas Eve!

Typical dinner - fish soup, fried carp with potato salad.

I really like it, each year we have lots of potato salad and strong soup.

I've been working on smoking a brisket all day. Been fighting with the fire half the day so we're running a little behind but it finally came up to the target temp and is resting now while the baked potatoes are cooking. I've only tried a brisket once before and wasn't too happy with how it turned out. Today's method involved a simple seasoning and wrapping it in foil half way through to really cook in those juices, so we'll see how it turns out.
