Had a family friend make us some great cupcakes, she likes to experiment with new things, and they were quite good. A peanut brittle, mint chocolate, and raspberry were a few of the different flavors.
Christmas dinner with ham, was a bit different this year, as the ham was nearly gone by the time we went to buy it. Fortunately it was available as a lunch meat!

Cal, have you seen / heard about his gadget yet?

Take a quick at the link. From what I can tell, it takes a lot of the guess work out of the process, and if you thought you couldn’t be that hungry again soon the food porn might have you rethinking that.
Didn’t find an emoji for pork tenderloin roast with cranberry maple glaze, so you’ll just have to use your imagination.
cheers
Lavatools Javelin is good enough for us. Don't need no stinkin' smart phone.

Just a thought, why the need to have a telephone to operate a meat thermometer?
Chris, what you brought forward looks interesting and might be for some persons. Just not simple men like me who want simple items to make simple foods.
Cheers my friend, I hope your retirement is going as well as the pictures you post. My time cometh in a year.

What a huge digital meat thermometer. We don't have the space for anything that size.

Tried something different last night. A new friend has a long term refrigerated meat locker and ages his deer hanging whole with the hide on for 6 weeks (gutted of course) ………I know of the meat aging process but leaving the hide on just seemed wrong to me for multiple reasons, one of which is deer have glands that need to be removed before hanging if not it can lead to quite gamey tasting meat. After some back and forth on the subject he said well I’ll just give you some to try and handed over 2lbs of ground venison. Had some pasta and sauce on the upcoming menu So decided to make meatballs from it. Gotta say it did have a nice texture and flavor was different (slightly fishy aroma/flavor) but good, until you found the parts that were in the vicinity of the glands….I say vicinity because he assured me he cuts them out during processing, but knowing that taste it’s hard to ignore when you get hint of it.
All in all…….not a fan!
chris, I’ve been eyeballing that exact setup except wanted the multiple unit set…….price is what’s holding me back.

I like the look of that "meater" thermometer and app, especially because it is remote and wireless. Works on a rotisserie without having to stop it and open the lid. It also monitors ambient temperature which would be handy in a smoker or BBQ that doesn't have a thermostat. It is expensive, but tempting and effectively replaces two devices.
BTW my Christmas dinner was delayed this year, I only had leftovers (but delish) the next day, I was unable to get out of bed on Christmas Day because I got covid for Christmas. Clean test today and symptom free, just in time to go back to work (from home).
