Watcha cooking Christmas Eve/Day?

[GilpinGuy]

Being the cook of the house I'm going at it today and love it. I took requests from everyone coming over so I have quite a mix of stuff:

Deep fried turkey
Corn Bread
Creamy Jalapeno Corn
Asian Chicken Wings
Papaya Salad
Sticky Rice
Dinner Rolls
Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Lots of bourbon (for me)



Irving: I just remembered you might have wanted some birds. Sorry man, I should have hit you up again.

No sir, I dropped the ball on texting you back that I didn't need any. Thank you for the offer. I did check this thread to see if you were making quail jalapeno poppers though.

However, since you started this thread, my wife has embraced my game cookbooks that I got and we are bringing some wild game meat to my parents. I believe elk, deer, and moose. Thank you to Hummer for the moose (and I think elk sausage). My dad isn't a fan of game meat, so hope it goes over well.

Tonight is snack food tomorrow is Aspen Ridge prime strips and a side I still need to figure out. I would have done ribeyes but the boss hooked our team up with whole strips so I decided on that instead.
