Christmas..... page 2

If I see it, I will eat it. Indiscriminately.

Well, I figure my sisters will keep me up most of the night as we all sleep in one room on Christmas (tradition) and despite the fact that we are now 37, 34, 29, and 27 (plus a 38 year old wife) we will probably act like 7 year olds and spend half the night talking until my dad comes in and tells us to stfu. Then we will fall asleep and wake up to see that Santa Claus brought presents. Yay for the jolly, red suited, fat man.

Then after opening said gifts we will all trek to Waffle House (tradition again) where I will consume multiple eggs and probably some shitty bacon. Later in the day I'll probably cook turkey and things that go with turkey including stuffing and mashed potatoes, oh, and roasted potatoes too. Then I will eat the food (though probably not the stuffing...so I will stay primal if you include potatoes).

Then we will all sit around groaning and watch Christmas Story. Hopefully no one shoots their eye out.

I am sticking as primal as I can be. I don't like how gluten makes me feel so many of the sweets are out. I'll eat the prime rib and potatoes. Salad and veggies. I'm sure I'll eat some chocolate or some black licorice since that is already bought for my stocking (sad how mom fills her own stocking).

I just don't want Christmas day to turn into Christmas week or Christmas month. I'm not good at stopping.

I would love to say that I'm going to throw caution to the wind and eat whatever I want, but I know that would be a lie, lol!!! Because what I would really want is cookies.....xmas cookies to be exact. And since I have discovered my gluten intolerance, I know that I probably wouldn't eat any of those. Unless I wanted to spend the next three days really uncomfortable and unhappy.

I should figure out how to make some gluten free cookies.

Turkey, squash, green beans with bacon, some other veg....may splurge with ice-cream at the end but dairy does not bother me.

At this point I prefer real food to any kind of cookies, crackers or stuffing anyway. I'm not sure what to have for dinner though. The idea of prime rib sure is appealing, but so is rendering another quart of fat out of a roasted duck.

Standing rib roast is good... I grilled a great one a couple of years ago. I prefer the bone on when doing large meats for flavor.

And you've reminded me it's time for a goose roasting some time between now and then. GOOSE FAT.

I will try and "primalise" as much as possible. We've got a goose for Christmas Day (roasted with onions and apples, and served with vegetables and the occasional roasted potato), and a 3-rib of beef for roasting on Boxing Day (courtesy of the quarter cow being delivered next week!). My family are all gluten intolerant anyway, and I'm cutting the sugar quantities in the cake (and subbing some coconut flour for some of the plain flour) as well as in the mincemeat, and I've got REAL suet this year! It will be interesting to see whether or not anyone notices the changes ... Otherwise we'll be eating much the same as usual ...
