my brother, dad and I are making a our own pastrami, pork ribs with a bourbon/peach bbq sauce, a couple chickens in our smoker and on the grill.

Various grilled and not grilled sides.

Caramel Apple Pie Cookies
Lavender Peach Ice Cream
Lemon Ice Cream with a Blueberry swirl.

At some point for breakfast, red velvet pancakes.

@seikel: PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH!!!! FTW!!! Best Blizzard every! When they stopped making it and new people took over our DQ I couldn't even get them to custom make it. That's when snickers took over for me. I like putter snickers bars in the freezer anyway, so mixed with ice cream great!

Also growing up in a small town, and regulars of the DQ, we knew the workers very well and vice versa. They used to love when my dad would come in because he would come up with something different everytime and it was like a challenge for them to try and make it.

best foodie christmas present ever from my parents this year! My brother and I got a whole side of beef to share and break down together. I had said a lot this year that I want to learn butchering from my dad as he and my grandfather have a combined 80+ years of experience. So at my families grocery store, hanging in the meat cooler is half of a cow dry aging perfectly for 4 weeks waiting for my brother and I to start cutting away.
