Ma is doing the ham & beans thing tomorrow, she says its supposed to be good luck to start the new year with that... first I've ever heard of it

Did a quick carbonara for lunch. We’re probably doing a chuck roast for dinner, with some country style green beans cooked with some leftover ham.

That's the way to do it. I miss being able to cook things spicy, but everything gets a coating of hot sauce. I make a stout cornbread but I'd prefer yours.

Yeah, that's what I've heard and what I usually do. We'll be doing our fourth and final Christmas tomorrow, so I had to get my fix in today! Perfect day for it, cold and miserable outside.

Making up some banana bread today maybe some cookies. Trying to keep that oven rolling. Cold as a Mofo outside

Hog jowl and black eyed peas was for good luck in our family. Picked some up last night for tomorrow.

I’m doing an 8 pound prime rib on the smoker then will finish in the oven for tonight. Cold temps aren’t good for the smoker so we’ll see

Yep, that's what we have every New years Day for good luck through the new year. :-)

That it is.

The old KCMO 9 weatherman Fred Broski always did New Years eve in KC for KCMO. He always had a pot of black eyed peas at the strike of midnight.

Sonic garlic parmesan wings. Was told they are being discontinued. Them Bastards. :-)

Just finished cooking a pot of vegetable beef soup for some warm comfort food the next few days. KC strip steaks for dinner and some jalapeno poppers for later on.

Smoking a 4lb cut of prime rib this afternoon. Pretty stoked about it.

Smoking it to 130F internal temp then putting it in the oven at 400F for about 10 minutes to crisp up the outside.

It is.

If you smoke to 130, it’ll finish between 135 and 140. Would suggest pulling it earlier if you want medium rare.
