Ordered my beef tenderloin roast for Christmas dinner from the butcher today.  The butcher I use is quite far from my current home as I started shopping there when we lived closer.  I will be in that area on December 22 so I scheduled pick up for that day.  The woman I placed the order with said if I was serving it on Christmas day I would have to freeze it.  I have never been told that before and I think it will be fine in my fridge until the 25th.

I think you should be just fine picking it up on the 22nd and cooking on the 25th. I ordered my roast today too. I'm picking up my bone-in pork roast on 23rd, but I imagine they will cut it on the 22nd.

What I like is how easy it is for how tasty it ends up. It's like eating the inside of the apple pie. Enjoy.

Re: Whats cooking this month of december?

i've been raiding my freezer too.   found 2 packages of vac pakked chicken cutlets,   should use up at least one very soon. DH raided his Lamb supply. One night he made Lamb Chops pilaf.  Good for me. i had my freezer chili and another night Screamin Sicilian pizza (we have no decent Pizza places in this area)

 

Sunday roast - small 1/2 Turkey Breast, tiny tricolr potatoes, peas/carrots. DH made fresh cranberry sauce.

 

Last night, Turkey Pot Pie w the rest of the turkey (fresh carrots/potato and freezy peas.) Used Phyllo for the top crust.

 

DH decided to come in kitchen and doused it with Ghee.  Bad idea. it just swamped the crust and didn't crisp up like i prefer. Grrrrr...tonite will be leftovers and hopefully the crust didn't sop up the filling.

 

 have a dentist appt for a crown tomorrow late afternoon !!  maybe i'll run to the store for something quick. otherwise soup night for me!

One more time for the turkey et al. leftovers.  Whatever's left afterwards (turkey and gravy) will get frozen, if there's enough for a meal down the road.

Tuna casserole and tossed salad! DH never really cared for casseroles so I was totally shocked when he asked for this for dinner!! I think it may be the rainy & snowy weather here & we are craving comfort food! And too he spied the brownies I made earlier for dessert later with ice cream!

Stay safe if you are facing bad weather. I am very glad we are retired & don't have to drive in it!

Re: Whats cooking this month of december?

We're going to a dressy holiday event w/ appetizers and cocktails tonight. Because I'm not particularly graceful and I'm wearing borrowed clothes, I'm going to make BLT sandwiches at home for myself and husband. Less chance of goobering up the dress by missing my mouth with some appetizer. I do like to wear my food.  Smiley Happy
