Last holiday dish finished.

[no_hypocrisy]

Brussel sprouts sauteed with shallots, bacon, and chestnuts.

And they turned out great in every respect.

1. Sounds yum! (nt)

2. I didn't like Brussels sprouts until I had them roasted.

This sounds wonderful. I have to try it.

Thanks
Happy Holidays!

3. I baked a ham for Christmas. I'm about to trim meat from the bone so I can freeze it.

Then I'll use some of the meat to make scalloped potatoes and ham au gratin for dinner, today. I still have some Brussel sprouts sauteed with onion, mushroom, garlic and yellow squash to finish up. I think that will go well with the main dish.

There's a head of cabbage I need to use, and some beef in the freezer, so tomorrow I'm making beef, barley soup. In another week, or so, the Christmas ham bone will go into Navy Bean soup.

I plan on a very soup/stew/curry/casserole intensive cold weather comfort food season.

4. Sometimes I think that I buy ham

just to get the bone for beans. Even though I have an instant pot, I cook the bone (w/plenty of meat attached), in the crock pot over night with lots of onion and garlic. Can't beat it.
