Did beef tenderloin for Christmas, which was really good and made fantastic leftovers

Sounds good. We are talking about changing up next year's menu.

I still have an 8+ lb Prime Rib that I need to do. I bought it to make for Christmas, but the wife overruled me unfortunately... now, I just need to make sure that it doesn't go to waste.

I guess I know what I'll be eating for the next week.

Going to grill some chicken wings and drums today. Lot's of football and our basketball team takes the court today. Oh, I'm sure some adult drinks are in play as well.

We just did a charcuterie breakfast board that morning with my spouse's Sparkling wine-strawberry punch and Green Mountain Holiday blend coffee. But we opted for a Christmas Eve steak dinner, I did filets over charcoal, marinaded in a rye whiskey-Worcestershire-extra virgin olive oil mixture sprinkled with Chicago style seasoning, black pepper and parsley.

Giving this a try tonight

How did it turn out? Got some pork ribs on the Weber, doing the snake method.

Turned out pretty good. I should have cut the potatoes a bit smaller and I let it simmer a bit longer than the recipe called for. Ill also add another jalapeno or two next time as the dish wasnt as spicy as I expected. Ill make it again though

Try Serranos instead of jalapeños. Spicier but not like, say, habaneros.

Did one serrano and one jalapeno. Had a little kick, but not quite what I was hoping for

I *know* that serranos are "supposed" to be hotter than jalapenos, but I find that to be very inconsistent in real life experiences.

I love a couple of really thin slices of habenero as a garnish on top of a good bowl of chili, and try to capture them in that very first spoonful along with a little of that sour cream dollup as an offset.
