My Mom made prime rib and she did a perfect job of it. I made the mashed potatoes with garlic and two sticks of organic butter (grew the potatoes myself, these were part of our garden potato haul). Cooked a pound of cut up Jones cherrywood smoked bacon to go with the mashed potatoes along with sour cream, grated cheese, and scallions. I also made brussel sprouts quartered and braised in bacon grease with Montreal seasoning on them. And mushrooms in butter to go with the prime rib. There were six of us there--my husband, brother, mother, my brother's girlfriend, and a friend of my Mom's who has no family around this Christmas. She's based and like family to us. All six are awake and we spent dinner talking about the people we know who are also awake, silver, what's going to happen to the dollar, and what we're expecting to see happen in 2024.
It was lovely. May God in Heaven and his son, Jesus, bless you all today and every day, frens. Merry Christmas! :)
Dang, Quality dinner. Montreal on brussels sprouts is a good idea. Similarly, I like to do Mrs Kroger (I forget what it really is, the Kroger version of Mrs Dash) on them - it's a neat trick for a "salt substitute."
(It's funny just how bad frozen Brussels sprouts are - my mom doing them exclusively - ruined them for me for decades, until I eventually figured out the problem LOL.)
