day one the "christmas hangover hash " lets just say we had a few bottles of wine!!

leftovers= chopped prime rib, carmelized onions and potabella mushrooms, some chopped chives,and some confit baby potato with black truffle.. start with a really hot pan and add the potatos, ribeye, onions and mushrooms and cook on medium high heat making sure to season them with a little salt and pepper. once you have a crispy concoction add the chives and crack an egg right on top and cover with a lid to finish the cooking.. serve with a glass of chilled eggnog and you have a great breakfast..

for dinner we  had chinese steamed buns with roasted pork.. i cheated and picked up a package of the cooked bao in chinatown to make life as easy as possible as im still recovering from all the wine.. this ones easy and will take you less than ten minutes..

leftovers=shredded pork, soy sauce, sliced green onion, hoisin sauce and steamed bun

using a bamboo steamer we took the pork and tossed it in a little soy sauce place it next to the buns in the steamer for five minutes and serve with the sliced green onion and hoisin sauce.. my fench bulldog really liked his left overs tonight




lets finish with one more dinner recipe "beef stroganoff" or for all of you professional kitchen folks "beef stroke en off",,,. very comfortating on a cold december evening, this dish will warm the hearts of all, and be sure to add another pound or two, to the already growing stomach youve acheied this holiday season, and if youre one to watch what you eat during the holiday season, you probably should not try this at home..

leftovers = 1/4 bottle vouvray or white wine, chopped prime rib, dijon mustard, beef stock, flour, sour cream,carmelized onion and portabella mushroom, cooked pasta of your choice and of course for all of you who dont know this salt and pepper!

start by cooking your pasta, a pot of boiling water seasoned with olive oil and a good amount of salt.. think the ocean! while your pasta is cooking heat a saute pan and add the onions and mushrooms.. cook for two minutes and add the beef once carmelized sprinkle about 2 tbs of flour and stir, now add your white wine and reduce.. your sauce should begin to thicken. season with s+p again and add the beef stock and dijon and let cook for five minutes right before serving stir in your sour cream and chives and top your pasta..
