Real food.............

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
The lasagna was awesome, served with a salad and fresh bread. We started the evening with some antipasto. Amarone was flowing. After dinner, we enjoyed a nice amaretto.

Little preview of dinner...Ham boner, sweet and regular potato fries and some homemade dinner rolls. Will also throw in some cranberry sauce we didn't use at Thanksgiving, a bag 'o salad, and some apple pie and cookies for dessert. And of course some wine. What goes with ham?
Since the ham won out over Pizza last Friday, we moved it to tonight. Standard fare, GF pizza (not pictured), ham and provolone stromboli, white pizza with pepperoni and bacon, red pizza with pepperoni and bacon, and a green pepper/onion/mushroom/bacon/pepperoni with red sauce, yum.
Hey, it's almost been a week, let's see some food!
Wifey had to work, didn't get a batch of beer going early enough, so decided to cook something for lunch. Cooked up some turkey burgers on the grill and finished them with some taco seasoning, then made a GF batch of nachos for my son and a batch for me. Mine had some diced jalapeno and wing sauce with the seasoned turkey and cheddar cheese.
Paired it with a kegged Yorkshire pale ale from last March. The beer is nice and spicy, the clove taste is waning which makes it more drinkable.

what I cooked!
Have been away for a while. I had from 12/24 through 1/3 off!!
I started so optimistic having not had this much time off ever! I planned to do so much during the down time. What I did not count on is catching a really nasty head cold on Christmas. I am still battling with it now.
I did manage to do a bit of cooking though! On Christmas Eve, I made a full prime rib dinner! 4 rib roast, mashed potatoes, sautéed asparagus, and awesome Yorkshire puddings!

Gndma's nutroll
The corner stone to any holiday meal in my Hungarian family is nutroll. My uncle was supposed to make it for Christmas but backed out at the last minute. I got the call late on 12/23 asking if I could make it.
SURE!! Nothing is more fun than the grocery store on Christmas eve! I got there just after it opened at 7:30am and it was already a complete ZOO! I never seen so many picked clean shelves! It reminded me of a Havana bodega on Tuesday morning...
Luckily, they had everything I needed. I started out making the dough (flour, egg yolks, sugar, yeast, sour cream, and enough butter to give an elephant a heart attack). I kneaded it for 20 minutes, let rise an hour and then kneaded it again. (PIC 1)
While the dough is working I made up the nut mix. 3lbs of walnuts that were blitzed in a food processor, egg whites, sugar, and a shot of vanilla extract (pic 2)
Rolled out the dough into a disk. With all the butter in the dough, it never sticks to the counter! (PIC 3)
Spread nut mix over disk (PIC 4) and roll up "burrito style" (PIC 5). Recipe makes 4 loaves. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 375 for 35 minutes.
(Sorry, forgot to get photo of finished product)
