Have never seen one of those grills. Is that for just one person or 20? Not for 20, it depends, there's larger and smaller ones. Mine is for 8, but I believe there's also that serve 4 or 6. At the bottom you got little frying pans. You can stick anything in there, for instance all kinds of cut up greens with grated cheese on top and a bit of white wine, thicker pieces of meat that take a bit longer, fry an egg with bacon in it etc. Things in the pans get grilled/cooked by the hot red wire that also heats the grill plates on the top. On top you stick thin, small slaps of meat, some have fish as well. We also put slices of baguette on it with garlic/herb butter to get it crunchy. The idea is that everyone can make/take/bake/fry what he likes (chicken, beef, pork, and so on). My ex sometimes flambéed in the little frying pan, haha. So, the above is for 8 people? Yeah, it's a set for 8 max. as it has 8 pans. It's a thing that you do for a couple of hours, so you slap on small bits of meat at a time. You couldn't put 8 large steaks on it of course, but that isn't the idea either. The idea is to enjoy a long meal, often times you just take a bit of a break, have a smoke, chat etc. then you continue eating again, lol. ANd of course you drink wine with it, so everyone gets giddy

I am going rogue this year... I am going to buy some type of beef from Costco - not sure if its going to be a loin, rib eye, prime rib...but its gonna be big, I know that! They have great beef, all AAA, so hoping for something that will end up being tender...pink in the middle when done.. Yes, I am going to make yorkshire puddings.. instead of dressing for a turkey... so lots of gravy too.

Christmas in my family, consists of warm fresh cinnamon rolls and coffee, that's breakfast,as we open gifts.. Lunch is pie,, (probably) why I make so many the night before... Dinner is a pot luck, we all make a main or side dish... This year I will be making a Vegan fettuccini, my Youngest son is vegan... Pies and a spinach salad. Ham will also take place at the table as well as mashed potatoes
