I have been doing Christmas Eve dinners for my family for the last ~6 years or so. I create the entire menu and delegate prep stuff to my wife, my brother, and my parents/wife's parents. Every year I feel like I'm getting better and better. I did a whole goose a few years back. Last Christmas I did Gordon Ramsay's Christmas version of Beef Wellington and it turned out AMAZING. This year I haven't really thought about it yet but just off the top of my head?

Shit, OP. It's fucking May, I'm not thinking about Christmas Eve dinner yet. I'll probably get a whole beef tenderloin and do something with it. Maybe a pancetta-wrapped tenderloin, make some kind of horseradish cream sauce, mashed potatoes, roasted red pepper tomato soup, a salad, and brandy Alexanders for dessert. That's just off the top of my head. Anyway, good thread. I'll be making some holiday threads about Thanksgiving and Christmas later this year.

This. But I guess for most people Halloween isn't so much of a cooking/menu planning event. But I'm right with you...I can't get excited about Christmas until after Halloween.

Yeah I always forget it’s not as popular elsewhere as it is in NA but god damn that’s the only holiday I don’t sleep through. Based Halloween poster.

Dude I start getting excited about Halloween as soon as college football starts. As soon as I can start noticing a difference in the position of the sun in the sky at certain times in the late afternoon in late summer. As soon as it begins getting a little cooler and brisk in the mornings even if it still does give way to the upper 80s during the day. God damn it I love Halloween.

most of the "pagan" solstice traditions are actually Saturnalian traditions

the only way to botch it would b e to get lamb chops that are a different shape than these. and do what he does with the fat because it makes it way better.
i also have no clue where one would get a lamb stock cube. i went to a few places and gave up, but by a christmas miracle, my parents had an ancient box in their cupboard. was just going to use black pepper, garlic salt, and cumin, which im sure would be fine
they were really delicious and my family is a bunch of savages who would not lie about that to me

I checked online and somehow my local Canadian meme store has lamb stock cubes. Funny enough, my family are also savages, but I think this will be a dish for me and my chubby wife
