Final Holiday Tradition. New Years Day I make Eggs Benedict ala Sam. I use flaky biscuits, left over filet of beef from last night. poached eggs, béarnaise sauce.

Holy Sheeeeeiiiittttt, that looks absolutely sublime. Glass of good red with it would work well too, what with the steak.

@neph93:

Our second traditional advent dinner is pork rib with white sausage, sourkraut, stewed apples and prunes, and so on. Very fatty, very good.

I normally don't quote pictures, but…Is it time for this beautiful meal???

Soon… very soon. We had to ditch that tradition this year due to the new house amongst other things, however I will be making and eating that on the 25th. Very much looking forward to it.

That picture is such a delight btw. Loving all the pastel pink contrasted with your IH gear.

that's how to do it @goosehd, looks great!

@steelworker Thank you!  This year was great in that we all were involved.  Wife and I do lights, and we (wife, kids, and I) all put the ornaments on.

@neph93 Thank you!  I wasn’t even going to step into the picture, but was prodded by the wife.  Turned out pretty well.

@Alex or anyone who has done this…

How hard is it to make beef wellington?  Spoke with Laura and we might try it for Christmas dinner this year.  Looked at recipes and videos last night and it seems pretty straight forward, but don't want to screw up dinner.

Can you let me know if you get a chance?

[Alex]

It's pretty easy, to be honest. The key is good preparation and giving yourself enough time to chill everything in between the construction stages. Then an instant read probe thermometer is key, and also make sure you factor in temp increasing as the meat rests when you pull it from the oven.

I do a bit of a hybrid between these:
