Fired up the grill for some burgers.

regretted the extra patty
Very nice burger!
So you fizzled out after one double That's probably smart. I ate both that were in my photo above. Let's see...5 1/3 oz patties times 4...equals a LOT of beef. I was fine afterward, obviously full, and it did cover lunch and dinner for me.
 
Forgot pictures again but tonight made a brined/bone-in/rotisseried pork loin, turnips au gratin, homemade cranberry jalapeno sauce. It's our 25th anniversary and we opted to stay home. Works for me! Champagne toasts coming up here in 15 minutes when the first volley of aerial fireworks goes off to acknowledge the New Year in Times' Square - then in two more hours, they do it again here for our own New Year celebration. We have front row seats in our own living room windows. No cold, no crowds, no parking and no trying to beat everyone else home!
 
Home alone (well with the cat) today, but that doesn't mean I can't get a riff on choûcroute garní going, and I'll have leftovers! Staples for me are bacon and Slovenian sausage from the local charcuterie king. Rendered diced bacon and caramelized onion with it. Drained natural, organic sauerkraut went in, along with the sausage, sliced peeled apple, a little caraway and a grating of nutmeg, a grind of pepper, and covered with beer (Coors Banquet was on hand; I've learned that even my Helles is a touch too bitter for this application.) Going to have it with parsley potatoes and bread (mine of course) and butter. Then probably a nap.
 
I did a 15.5 pound prime rib last night on my pellet smoker for friends and family. That will feed a lot of people.
Nice. Any photos? I'm going to try and get a R-MR money shot. We'll see. We chill on NYE so I'm going to be drinking CBS and Backwoods Bastard.
 
Beer brind pork loin, browned in castiron skillet,then into a 400 degree oven until interior temperature was 155 degree, tented with aluminum foil for 15 minutes, and sliced for New year's dinner.
 
Haven't made it yet - really just toying with the idea. Yesterday, one of my bosses made a big pot of menudo. I love everything about menudo, except for the tripe. I just can't make myself like it! A couple of co-workers mentioned that they just can't get past the smell. So that whole event was rolling around in my head this morning as I dissected why I don't like tripe when I realized that it is nearly the same texture as a tenderized calamari. Which led me to the obvious question of what menudo made with calamari would be like...

Same here; it's a texture issue. My suegra doesn't make it anymore, lol.
