For Christmas day she wants cast iron style pork al pastor with pineapple.

She is the boss after all.

Fiddy please tell me that you will be making the traditional Cuban pork meal for Christmas.  We need a very merry SoFlo Christmas.

 
Nah, Sum does that. And he's damn good at it.
 
I have a wife and 2 kids, and 2 families that want to spend time with us (a good problem to have). 
I don't get to cook, unfortunately. We spend Christmas eve at one family's house, Christmas night at the other. 
It's hectic. But fun.

My wife and I host Christmas Eve every year at our house this year we decided that we would make Beef Wellington with Green Peppercorn Sauce, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs and Garlic and Warm Wilted Winter Greens - this is the stock image for the recipe. It is Tyler Florence Ultimate Beef wellington.

I just called my Whole Foods. They do not participate in midnight madness. In fact, they had no idea what I was asking about. 
 
Screw them.
 
Bah Humbug.

That suck's man, I'm way up in Maine or I help you out...

I've never been able to get a Yorkshire pudding to come out right, just tastes like a plain Bechamel. New Years Day this year was a Molasses and Bacon smoked Pork Shoulder the Pulled to happiness with Collard Greens, Black Eyed Peas and Southern Style Cornbread. No one left the table hungry

Bill...I did to the Yorkshire what us Americans do as a flavor insurance policy. I added BACON!!! Bacon grease in the drippings and bacon in the mix...worked like a charm!
