Smoked turkey with bacon fried brussel sprouts, veggie "mac" n cheese, baked beans. Did a backyard BBQ style for Christmas dinner as it was just the 4 of us this year.
That sounds really good, especially the turkey. When I was a young Boy Scout my scoutmaster used to smoke a turkey in the chimney of a cabin we stayed in each winter. I have many fond memories of those days, and I always loved that turkey too.
 
A simple dinner this evening, but quite good. Tried something new with the steak which almost worked, seared it (not long enough) in cast iron and olive oil, then threw it in the convection oven on a rack.

The shrimp were sautéed in olive oil, with a sprinkle of freeze dried garlic I recently acquired - quite good, actually.

Potatoes were just baked and then split, buttered with Country Crock (the wonders of pretty bad lactose intolerance), and topped with salt and pepper.

What did you all make this evening? Pork and sauerkraut anyone?

Looks Great
We might have to exchange addresses lol
 
Back to keto for me after a month of barbecue, Italian food, and cookies.
Probably a steak and salad or raw spinach. We got some edamame pasta, maybe we’ll try that with shrimp and Alfredo sauce. Ease into the keto thing.
 
Had keto pork Reubens.
Leftover pulled pork with kraut and Swiss with low carb 1000 Island on a low carb wrap. "Breaded" zucchini sticks done in the air fryer.

@Reach
I fried up 4 oysters (flour & water batter; panko crust).
Found 3 pearls ! ! !

The BAD news: The pearls are absolutely worthless.
The GOOD news: I didn’t break any teeth !

That sounds like Good New Year Luck to me !

(Also made some grilled smoked-pork-belly & cheddar sandwiches.)

Holy cow
Fried oysters are so so good
Raw are my favorite
Saltine crackers cocktail sauce
2 dozen in the last two weeks and counting
 
@GregManning can I sear a steak or chop first before cooking sous vide?
Certainly, searing before Sous Vide will create the Maillard reaction (carmelization).
This flavor will also penitrate into the meat during Sous Vide. (good)

However, the surface will not have the "crusty" texture; since the liquid exuded into the bag will soften it.

I suppose you could do BOTH ! (before & after; just adjust the cooking time to not "over-cook")
