New Years Eve

I have always considered NYE amateur night, along with St. Patrick's day and Halloween. Prefer to stay home with good food, drinks and a loved one. Anyone else spending the end of the year cooking?

I am making use of the second half of the Christmas brisket with chili. No beans, no tomatoes, just beef, homemade chili powder, onions, chilies and Rogue Chocolate Porter.

There's a lot more loss using brisket instead of chuck. I hate to throw all the fat away but not sure what I would use rendered beef fat for. Save or throw?

Looks great. Like the chimi on there. I bet that was a real tasty slice.

I'm drawn to brush the edge w/ melted butter ... but keep resisting due to mess factor ...

Going to get started after the Rose Parade in full southern tradition. Spiral Sliced Honey Ham, Buttermilk Cornbread, Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas will have us set up for good luck and money for this new year

And, Grant, sweet pie.

I did a scallop soup.
Sweet Potatoes cooked in PC then blitzed with Veg stock so its still thick, then add carrots Broccoli, Yellow Habs, Smoked Paprika , seasoning. Was going to add Gouda but it was already rich from the potatoes. Was awesome, scallops nice and tender. I always cook scallopes in soup on low, keeps them moist and tender
