We don't go out to eat much in winter, but we'll go to our favorite local restaurant for an early dinner and then home for cozy time. We will also likely be asleep at midnight.
I'm making shrimp and baked salmon. There will be goat cheese and port wine cheese and crackers and deviled eggs before we go to the zoo lights. Then home to make more gingerbread cookies and sugar cookies with the short ones. The ones I made for Christmas Eve were amazing. I hope I can duplicate them tomorrow.
We're going on a NYE cruise a few miles off the Waikiki Shore. We'll do dinner on NYE prior to. For NYD, we'll probably end up getting some Chinese food in town as we know they'll be open.
Just spoke with the MRS. Gonna be a beef rib roast, baked taters with brown sugar & butter and a green bean casserole. Couple pints of Ben & Jerrys for dessert. Scotch & cigars for my son & I after the ice cream.
I'm gonna go out and order about 10 pieces of battered deep fried fish. Now that they closed the airport diner and there aren't any Long John Silver's in the state any more, I'm left with only two choices, a local restaurant or a take away place that specializes in Asian food. Everyone else around here breads their fish and then bakes it and that's too healthy for me. Fish and chips should be deep fat fried and greasy and crunch when you bite into them. My resolution to eat healthy doesn't start until the 2nd, anyway.
what do consider insanely expensive for Lobster tails and King crab? Just curious what the prices are elsewhere.
Costco colossal Alaskan king crab legs = $49.99/lb
Harris Teeter had smaller Southern king crab legs for $19.99/lb
Costco Lobster Tail 1+ lb $34.99 IIRC (local grocers have those petite tails regularly for $6-8 each - years ago they were cheaper. I bought them once for paella, never again.)
Asian grocers have whole lobsters at around $14/lb. 1-1.25 pounds. A bargain, I guess, but DH is too lazy to properly eat a whole lobster, so I refuse to buy them.
If I could have gotten the $19.99/lb Southern legs, I might have bought some IF they were large (but ive never seen them fat enough to be bothered).
The prices have changed our usual NYD plans. This year, Chinese take out or pizza. First world problems.
We have a couple of steaks for tonight. Grandkids are coming tomorrow, so will cook up some ribs for them.
