Christmas Dinner Kit
I decided to splurge and spent $35 for a beautiful choice two-bone standing rib roast. I wanted to remember my holidays spent in England by cooking a proper dinner, and here's the "kit" I started with. The roast was perfect, crusted with rosemary and garlic, medium on the outside and medium rare in the middle. The vegetabes were roasted in a separate pan; the Yorkshire puds rose up just right, flavored by roast drippings in the muffin tin bottoms. The trifle was simple, made with lady fingers, instant pudding, frozen strawberries, and aerosol whipped cream. Made the day ahead, the flavors all blended beautifully. A meal to remember! We were too hungry to take pictures.
When I was shopping at Sam's I spotted beef tongue marked down to $2.03 a pound. I got permission to fix one later in the week, only if Maureen would never have to actually see it. Did it up in the pressure cooker, made a sandwich for lunch on homemade bread with homemade mayonnaise -- it was better than the prime rib!
