chillumpuffer Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Chicken drumsticks marinated in Sweet Chilli Sauce. Fries on the side. Bottle of Rioja to wash it down. Some greenery for laughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Nothing at the moment, but I had leftover pork roast and mashed potatoes for lunch about two hours ago. I am however drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper with a lot of ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def better than my pre-workout meal of a chocolate protein shake, a banana and maple brown sugar oatmeal (even though I love all that too).

Electrophile Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Okay, both of the previous two responses make me want Mexican food right now. LOL. My "dinner," if you want to call it that, was a bagel with peanut butter. Very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a time for Mexican, and a time for a frozen dinner with oatmeal on the side, which is what I had last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 A chocolate chunk cookie. I know I shouldn't eat one at ten to nine in the morning, but I'm a grown-up, and that means eating a cookie at ten to nine in the morning if you want one.

Strider Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 One of my favourite memories of my time in Europe was discovering the various mulled wines during Christmas. In Germany it is Glühwein, in Sweden it is Glögg, but my favourite may be the Norwegian Gløgg, which has the extra added kick of Aquavit. This is a Gløgg recipe I acquired years ago on a trip to Norway. 1 bottle of red wine (I usually use a Zinfandel or Grenache) 1 tablespoon cardamom pods 5 whole cloves 1 large sliced cinnamon stick 1 2-inch piece of ginger, chopped 12 ounces white sugar ½ 750-ml bottle of Aquavit 3½ ounces raisins 3½ ounces sliced almonds Directions Heat the red wine slowly in a saucepot over medium-high heat. Put the cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a spice bag and add to the pot. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves. Do not let the wine boil. Remove the pan from heat and let cool, approximately 2 hours. Add the aquavit to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Heat until just before mixture reaches a boil. Add raisins and almonds. Transfer mixture to a punchbowl, remove the spice bag and ladle into mugs. Spoon some almonds and raisins into each mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 It may be Christmas Eve, but I found an open Starbucks for my bi-monthly coffee treat, so I'm having that with a couple of shortbread cookies and a bottle of water. I find drinking water along with the coffee staves off any caffeine headaches that might occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas dinner: Roasted Guinea Fowl. Streaky Bacon on the top. I stuffed it with a Lemon, Tarragon, Rosemary and Thyme and a good knob of Butter. Roasted Parsnips. Chipolatas and the ubiquitous Sprouts - we love them Gravy from the pan. Redcurrant Sauce, Mustards and Horseradish. A 2011 Rioja Gran Reserva Will be splended. A Strawberry Cheesecake if we can squeeze it in. Bon Appetite indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t had chipped beef in a long while…used to be a staple when I lived in upstate NY. For dinner tonight…prime rib with roasted potatoes, steamed green beans and dinner rolls. Apple pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert. 3 hours ago, LedZed66 said: Marzipan poppy seed cake (made by my mother-in-law) Christmas day dinner: 🎄 Potato dumplings, red cabbage, roasted duck and Champagne Nice to see you again!

chillumpuffer Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) @Walter @ebk I hope you all well and slightly stuffed after Christmas? Nothing for lunch really. This evening will be left over Guinea Fowl, Pork Pie, Salad and dips. Wine and a few joints as we only had a couple of glasses with dinner and none in the evening. Golf tomorrow Edited December 26, 2021 by chillumpuffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 I baked a 10 lb. honey-glazed ham for Christmas dinner. With baked yams/sweet potatoes, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sautéed green beans. Egg nog, wine, whiskey, and Glögg for after dinner.
