Holiday Meals - lets see em

Jan 1, 2023 - Seafood Paella main dish and Apple Blueberry Pie for dessert. My wife cooked it all fron scratch.

Dec.10, 2022 - Ordered whole baby lechon for a Christmas get together.

Wow !

Looks all soooo good Mel.

Happy New Year. 

Oh man looks amazing!!

I didn’t take pictures. Had the family over for prime rib and crab cakes.

I caught the traeger on fire searing the prime rib at 500f. I also realized I hadn’t fully defrosted it when I put the temp probe in it to start cooking. Dinner was late. The crab cakes were perfect with fresh crab and love put into making them. Beers and wine were shared. Nobody cared that the prime rib was late and a little crispy on the outside!

Happy new year!

Cracked a few Dungeness crab for a yummy pasta dish…butter, garlic, capers, lemon peel and Parmesan cheese. Angel hair pasta and a lemon squeeze to finish. Was pretty good with green beans and baguette.
Happy New Year NCKA

Buffet 

Cioppino with shrimp, scallops, striper caught in Pittsburgh and crab from tomales. Paired with scrimshaw and boudins sour dough.

Now these are the best winter threads.

Not going to lie. The NCKA family fights can be fun as well. 

Rosemary garlic horseradish crusted prime rib with creamed corn and creamed spinach. 😁

Happy New Year everyone! Time for me to go on a diet now!
