Prime rib is smoking.  Adding huge baked potatoes with crispy skin. Probably a green thing from DiLs freezer.  Cranberry orange jalapeño sauce but DiL didn’t make dressing.  Her mother will bring a variety of mediocre bland midwestern food; I eat little of it.  I’ll just eat a shitton of beef and a tater for the most part.  I miscalculated:  6 adults, 14lb roast.

Did most of the food last night on the smoker. A five-pound prime rib, a bunch of salmon and roasted cauliflower & broccoli. Did some cheesy potatoes in the oven and then Chinese cucumbers and a nice loaf of bread.

It was good. Today we go to sample other folk’s cooking.

Love French Toast.

I usually just use a regular Tuscan style loaf. Or a nice baguette. My mix is simple, eggs, some half & half, a touch of brown sugar and a splash of pure vanilla extract. And of course, pure maple syrup.

Me too. My fav “special day” breakfast.  Alton Brown’s recipe (with vanilla and fresh ground nutmeg & cinnamon) always delivers.

Oh, and I forgot, cooked with some real butter in the pan. I like cinnamon but, it just has to be a hint, not too much.

The only thing I have really used nutmeg on is when we make Flammkuchen, an Alsatian/German-type of pizza. In fact, I'm thinking of getting one of those Breeo outdoor fire pits with the pizza oven attachment just to make more of them, and regular pizza, of course.

Our kids have informed us that one night next week in Germany, we’re going to an all-you-can-eat flammkuchen deal. Seems cool, we dig flammkuchen. Where does the nutmeg figure in?

Made our traditional gingerbread pancakes for everyone. Bought so much mix that we'll have gingerbread waffles tomorrow. Honestly, I hate making pancakes because they always are weird for a few turns and then get good. Waffles are a lot more consistent. We also made peppermint bark. Debating making some eggnog from scratch.

It’s just very lightly sprinkled on the Flammkuchen. It is soooooooo good.

Where in Germany?
