New Years Eve/Day

We hosted a small gathering of family and friends for New Year's eve. Kat took the opportunity to have us fry one last turkey this holiday season.

I think this third bird turned out best of all.

For the steak lovers, I had this giant bone-in rib-eye in the sous vide for four hours and finished it in the pan and crusted the top with the torch. Similar treatment was applied to four tenderloin steaks provided by David (THANKS!)

That rib eye was about the size of my head.

The daughter looked fabulous, as usual. Even did her nails to match her scarf.  

My brother made sure we had fireworks for the kids to enjoy...

Flip-flops and fireworks, excellent!

Had a great time with friends in the neighborhood for more Bubbles.  

seared scallops  

We had scallops that were supposed to be for New Years eve, but turned out to be unnecessary. They were enjoyed New Years day dinner.

Then, my brother flew away. He was here just over two days. He had a few requests to round out a quick trip to ATX...
