...., why pulled pork from your last smoke, that has been in the freezer for 6 months. Taste as good as the day after.

Tradition here is shrimp - this year grilled on the Egg with butter and lemon herb seasoning.. Along with a jumbo lump crab appetizer, served cold with just a bit of lemon juice. A bottle of Silver Oak Cab and now getting ready to read Night Before Christmas, tuck the little one in and get ready for Santa.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art.

Soup and crackers from the microwave. Its below 30 out and I just put a 16.5 pound brisket on for tomorrows dinner so I reached my maximum outdoor time. Filled the keg today and cleaned all the lines and enjoying my first beer now.

Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

Doc, I haven't made midnight on new years since 1999. I did everything harder faster and longer than anyone I knew. I grew old fast. If I want to party all night I'll do it any night I feel like. New Years is my night of protest so I go to bed. Here is a pic of me in NOLA. I didn't make it to midnight but my work was done.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

After reading the threads I'm easily confused by the meaning of the "big day"-but figuring today is Christmas Eve I will start with that-today is FYAO paella (freeze your a$$ off) as the paella is a given regardless of temps-for our GWN brethren it's a balmy 22*F here. Now for New Year's Eve-that is amateur hour to me-but I will stay close (walk/crawl distance) for few glasses of juice and a good banquet-that I don't cook! Merry Christmas all!Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I didn't make it to midnight but my work was done.I've lost touch with my xmas Eve tradition. Back then Mom took the leftover TG turkey from the freezer, chopped it up fine, then mixed it with a block of melted Velveeta and a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chiles. We then glopped it into flour tortillas, rolled them up, and enjoyed our "enchiladas", as us white german/norwegians called them!Total garbage, but I need to try them again just for old time's sake!_____________

Our family traditional meal on Christmas Eve was oyster stew. Doesn't work too well on the Egg. Hard to keep the temp down that low and the smokiness from charcoal just isn't right for some foods. Must be the milk because I love smoked oysters.A poor widows son.

Lobster Mac-and-Cheese here. Started as a special request a couple of years ago from one of my boys and the tradition has stuck.
