I made smoked pork loin with a mustard and peanut butter crust, roast potatoes cooked in beef fat, steamed broccoli, sage and onion stuffing, beef suet dumplings, mushroom duxelles made with honey JD and chicken gravy with crispy bacon pieces.

Christmas dinner is a meme

Cool knife. Not sure what's on the plate though
>>7201505
>Dat beef
FUCKING UNF
No joke, my grandfather always used a knife he took off a dead nazi in North Africa to carve the turkey or ham. He's died in 2008 but my dad still used the krout knife to carve the meat every year.
My family is pretty fucking cool. At least my pop-pop was.

Looters get shot in a civilized army.
>>7201624
OP here. My gramps died in 2007. he was a nazi-killing badass too, except he was also an army doctor. Didn't take any wicked trophies like yours, but his squad number (or id number or whatever) was 007. I literally thought my Grandpa was James Bond xD
Memories :)

My grandpa is Vietnamese and fought for the south along with the Americans. One day he was scouting alone and was on a tree. A Viet Cong soldier was coming by him below. So my grandpa jumped on him and slit the dude's throat.

I already had a bit of a roast with some pasta on the side about three hours ago and this looks really fucking delicious.
the apple pie(far left) is almost 100% liquid.
on the right we have a small portion of refried beans.
then there's rice and a small bird, not sure if it's chicken or turkey.
there's also a less than half filled 2 liter bottle of cranberry juice.
I hate being a poorfag
Huh, I did actually take a picture, though it was piled onto the plate haphazardly and not very presentable. Oh well. It was tasty anyway.
Merry Christmas.

Wow see, I'm not the only one who's family members piles everything onto one plate. Especially if you don't eat at the dinner table, you might as well just keep a plate to yourself with everything on it.
Yours is 10 times better than mine though.
>>7202094
I know this picture came from reddit, but I want to make a point... there's no reason to feel depressed about being alone on Christmas. The option to cook your own food is completely open. If you still choose to get Chinese food, there's no reason to get depressed by it. For one, it's delicious Chinese food. Second, there's no reason to get upset because your meal wasn't as traditional as anyone's or that you didn't have the right people with you. The only thing making people feel down in these situations is the high expectations they build up. No shame in ordering takeout. Shit, Jewish people do it all the time.
I just had Christmas dinner and I'd have loved to have what's in that picture.
>>7202208
all true, but to be honest i think that is easier said than done. i don't think people are depressed that their christmas itself was lonely, they're depressed because the fact they are alone on christmas is a great big reminder that they are fuckin lonely in general.

it's not healthy for your urine to be that dark anon
please go to a doctor for your own safety.

bird not properly dress

I think this still ties to having these huge expectations. I mean it is what it is. If the realization is, "Wow, I should've done more" then there it is. There's always a future to work on improving your social life. You can still be happy in the moment.
That's just me. The greatest thing that helped me improve myself was not creating this endless cycle that feeds itself. Hopefully no one here is having a shitty Christmas though. :(
Chile Verde pork, refries, Spanish rice.
Bad boy
Slow cooked some beef short ribs for 4 hours in broth, wine, thyme, onions, and some other stuff after searing them. They were so tender you could cut them with a fork, amazing. Had that with homemade mashed potatoes, bread, and steamed green beans
Chistmas dinner in my neck of the woods.
>>7201493
Stop invalidating me.
made some crockpot meatballs and homemade jap style Christmas cake with chocolate whipped cream. Just 2 of us, nothing much, also shitty pics.
>>7201794
How did you do it?
Please stepp by stepp explane it to me.
It looks perfect.
Did you stuff it?
And does the chicken has to fry in a cookingpan before putting it in the oven?
How long did it take before this meal was ready?
>>7202159
Are you male or female?
For how many peeps did you make that food?
It looks very good. I'm so hungry right now.
>>7202351
best looking one here
>>7202351
where are you, fuckin vietnam or summin? looks freaking delicious.
>>7202351
was just sitting here thinking how much i fucking hate turkey then you go and post this delicious looking shit making me feel even more upset that i had to eat such a mediocre dinner cos its traditional. good job.
>>7202363
man its such a fuckin miserable looking pizza as well
>>7202368
not op but don't stuff big birds like that, it stops heat from penetrating the cavity and you end up with both overcooked meat on one side and undercooked on the other because heat can only get in properly from one side.
>go over to aunt's house for xmas dinner
>uncles puts fucking HELMAN'S ONION DIP on his BAKED POTATO
I am done eating dinner at their place for Christmas. I no longer wish to simulate vomit in my mind.
Sorry no photos but here's the menu I had:
-Roasted ham in honey glaze
-Roasted salmon with pesto and panko
-mashed taters
-gravy
-sauteed brussel sprouts with bacon, onions and balsamic vinegar
-home baked bread
-sauerkraut salad
-croquettes with mushrooms and cheese
I didn't eat dinner but I took home a deli tray with some turkey, rolls, baked beans and corn. Also some cheesecake, chocolate covered pretzels, chex mix and golden graham smores candy.
The full menu was turkey, beef tenderloin, meatballs in a crockpot, mashed potatoes, dressing, corn, green beans, baked beans, bacon wrapped tater tots, cheeseball with crackers, deviled eggs and then desert pumpkin pie, cheesecake, chocolate cake, peach cobbler, smores, pretzels and fudge.

here is the pic i was mobile
it was hot as fuck, we got some mean serranos
homemade refries, so pro they look canned
>>7202159
Whoever took a shit on your pie has some great shitting precision.
Any more Crimbo dinbos in here?
My thermometer lied to me. I took the bird out at 155 and it was dry as fuck. Gravy saved it though.
looks so good
had no christmas dinner
made me feel incredibly alone and hungry
christmas time is a sad time
Jan approves of this thread!

>those eggs in the middle making shit soggy
ugh, could you like, uh, not?
>>7203327
if you're going to complain about stuff making a pizza 'soggy' why don't you have a problem with the sauce and spinach
>>7203332
I don't mind some moisture but not so much it makes the dough in the middle soft
>>7203333
woah sick repeating digits dude
>>7203333
the point is eggs coagulate and the moisture binds up, tomatoes and spinach just seep.
>>7203340
maybe my oven is not hot enough
thankyou for the correction
Christmas is a disgusting pagan celebration. Satan Claws a.k.a. 'Santa Claus' is not my G-d.
We should remember Christ's sacrifice for us with temperance and humility, not celebrate it and blaspheme him.
Chicken soup with a side of bread is my sustenance.
>>7203358
That's what Good Friday is for. Christmas is the celebration of his birth.
Fucking Calvinists.
>>7203358
>carrots AND onions
That's sinfully decadent
