It's not dinner, but breakfast, deal with it.

My wife made beef bourguignon and roasted green beans for Christmas Eve dinner. Absolutely fantastic!

Double dip last night

Things are a little more reserved at the firehall tonight...
Also included roasted asparagus and mushrooms. Unfortunately, just as dinner was ready, we caught not 1, not 2, but 3 calls back to back. The potatoes survived, and the filets were cooked sous vide (so they remained perfect), but the other parts... well all you really need is meat and potatoes.

Roast Beef Tenderloin, Pasta al Pesto, Roasted Asparagus in Browned Butter.
Christmas Dinner.
Chippers apparently also know how to eat (and cook).
Impressive, people. Very impressive.

Spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer. Dinner was a Thai curry roasted carrot soup.

First try with picanha last night. I don't have a rotisserie, so I cut it into steaks and slow cooked it on the grill to melt the fat cap and then went for a fast sear over the coals. Topped with a sauce of lemon, lime, coriander, cumin, olive oil, and mint.
Side of mashed yuca and some steamed peas (because the plate needed some color). Yuca was also new to me (I've had it fried before but didn't make it).
Picanha was pretty good for a budget steak ($8.99/lb), but I wouldn't quit ribeyes or tenderloin for it.

I don’t make gumbo often because it literally takes the entire day, but man is it delicious. It’s a chicken, sausage, shrimp and crab gumbo. Served with some filet mignon, asparagus and a baked potato. Washing it down with a 2018 Quilt Cabernet.
Some photos of the gumbo process below.

I understand not wanting to make it very often if it's just a side dish.
Gumbo is an entire meal unto itself. Let it be the star it is!

When are you going to host to meet up

Any other day I would agree with you, but for a NYE dinner it has to be more! Gumbo is definitely enjoyable alone which is why I always make such a big pot. I will eat it through the entire week and then freeze some single and double size portions for future "emergency" meals.
Well not sure I'll ever host a meet up (wife would be happy about that) but if we do have a future meat up where cooking is on the table I'm in for that

It's all about salesmanship.
Show her this thread, and tell her you are thinking about inviting some other chefs over to share chef secrets. She'll get fed... and if poker happens to fill the remainder of the time, that's just "coincidence".
I know my audience, that's going to be a hard sell lolIt's all about salesmanship.

It’s pretty wild how the peppers give a numbing effect. Looks great!
