New Year's Eve Dinner on Your End

So magnusfide is contemplating haggis and I do seafood every end of year like clockwork.

This year I'm thinking a cold seafood platter is the answer. The man thinks osetra caviar with the traditional sides should be added but I'm in charge of the budget soooo we'll see;).

What's by you?

    I'm keeping it simple, picked up a nice thick bone in prime rib steak on Xmas sale. Either grilled or smoked depending on the weather.

    Thinking about picking up Phillips crab cakes at Publix. They are frozen, easy to pan fry or bake in oven. Pricey but to me they taste better than most crab cakes restaurants serve.

    Pick up a can of fresh backfin, lump crab which you can get at almost all grocery stores.

    Fielder's Crab Cakes

    1 lb crab meat, rinsed well
    7 saltine crackers
    1 TBL real mayo
    1 tsp. ground mustard
    1 egg, beaten well
    1-2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (your preference)
    salt and pepper


    Mix well and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. Pat out into good size cakes. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 or fry in a pan with a small amount of oil.

    These just beat the daylights out of the Phillips ones you can get in the store.

    salt and pepper


    Mix well and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. Pat out into good size cakes. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 or fry in a pan with a small amount of oil. This has little/no filler (7 crackers) and makes 6 good size crab cakes.

    These just beat the daylights out of the Phillips ones you can get in the store.

    Nothing special. Maybe some snacks for the college football games.

    Our plans for New Year's Eve will be at a friend's house. He's of Scottish descent and takes very seriously the traditions of Hogmanay and First Footing.

    We're bringing the 5 lb Haggis.

    He's also hosting a Burns Night on Jan. 25th. This is the year Herself and I will be educated in all things Scotland without having to use our passport. :B

    New Year's Day will be our Prime Rib served at 4 pm with knoshing for the rest of the evening.

    Happy New Year to all.
