I make mine similar to this. I skip the celery though. Just not a fan of it.

big steamed ball of suet, various fruits and stuff all drenched in brandy
Yes, yes it is!! 😊 I make one from an old family recipe called Franklin Nut Cake. It has a QUART of chopped pecans in it, a pound of the colored cherries and just enough cake to hold it all together. Once it is baked you drizzle just a little bit of whiskey over it and wrap it tightly in cling wrap and foil for a day or two to absorb. Didn't make one this year though. 😞Fruitcake is the best thing ever!!!
Christmas pudding (sort of big steamed ball of suet, various fruits and stuff all drenched in brandy you set on fire before serving) and minced pies. I haven't been able to find either in the stores this year (you sometimes find them in fancier grocery stores, but it's sort of ghetto around here) although I admit I didn't really busy a gut looking.
Doesn't feel like Christmas and I was never exactly jolly old Saint Nich to start with. Just going to be me and the dog and some meatloaf and apple pie this year.
Bro, no one should spend the holidays alone. Grab yer pup & ride on down this way.
Up to you, man. If you change yer mind, holler.
Absolutely. Still wanna see your giant self 'fore we split for MO.
I didn't know you were moving, I haven't really been tracking too straight the last few months, folks could have turned purple and I'm not sure I'd have noticed.
I’m doing my first prime rib - do you have a process that you can direct me too? Or share ?Traditionally, we have meats in our family. Mainly, roasted beef or pork.
This year we're having whole prime rib. I'm planning to do a reverse sear, then cover with herb butter and roast on high. And of course, with au jus. Also doing lechon pork belly. It's a roasted pork filled with lemongrass, green onions, garlic and bay leaves. Lumpia (Filipino spring rolls), both shanghai (meat only) and vegetable lumpia. Red rice (a staple in Guam). My wife will bake an ube/yema cake. (Ube is a purple yam in the Philippines and yema is like a thick caramel).
I was thinking about having egg nog with rum. Any other ideas for alcohol? Buffalo Trace? Jameson Irish whiskey?
I'm planning on trying this method, as described in this YouTube video. There is a 500 degree method (not reverse sear). I have tried that in the past. Too much well done areas for my taste.I’m doing my first prime rib - do you have a process that you can direct me too? Or share ?
I may make a mince pie. Those were a staple in Mom's house when I was growing up. I love it and haven't had one in years. Another of those things my family won't eat.Christmas pudding (sort of big steamed ball of suet, various fruits and stuff all drenched in brandy you set on fire before serving) and minced pies.
