The snow is gone here too. Not expecting more before Christmas. Climate change.
A spreadsheet is next level. Here, it is all in memory. Though "like ad don't like" doesn't matter, when it had to be the same. :)
Still, at least I like the ham.

I agree, a spreadsheet is next level. Damn @bozz you are a serious Christmas cooker. I am curious how the brisket turns out. We are supposed too have some unually warm temps for the holiday, so thinking about firing up our smoker.
Last year when I did a brisket it was something like negative ten out, so I am looking forward to some warmer temps this year!
This sounds decent - what will you smoke? Here, they pretty much only do salmon.
I do love fish especially salmon, but the wife not so much. Most likely it will probably be something thathas been in the freezer for a while that needs cooked. The wife will most likely choose. I just run the grill...or at least Im allowed to think so :-)
A lot of it probably has to do with the nostelgia that getting to eat that spectacular dish, desert, that only grandma, aunti, uncle, etc., makes to perfection only comes once, maybe twice a year at the holidays. As simply and silly as it seems, even something of the most basic gets cherished. You would hardly think that green onion wraps would be considered to look forward to but that is exactly what happens when one family member makes them, never a bad onion wrap in the lot, each sized in equal equations of the green onion, the cheese and the wrap. If there was ever anything such as the perfect green onion wrap each time, she can do it, nothing overpowers the other in each and every bite, though I could do without her gravy.
I get it when there is that "one dish" but really here, everything is so homogenous when it comes to the food, that there is nothing that really stands out. :D
We have actually scaled ours down over the years because we realize there is just too much food. I think each person gets one of their favorite things.
