Norma has a good post up about food, diets, and thinking about food.
. She's right; we are always thinking about our next meal, and probably the meal after that.
Right now, I'm thinking about the Christmas Day Meal. In days gone by, I usually had a crowd of in-laws to serve. It's tough to scale back, but we're a smaller group now, even with the addition of my son-in-law. Still and all, here's what I'm planning so far, for a party of five. If you have any suggestions, make 'em now. I gotta do my shopping.
Rib Roast
Skillet Cornbread
Garlic Mashed Potatoes (using Yukon and Red, skins on)
Jellied Cranberry Sauce
Greenbean Casserole
Steamed Broccoli
Apple-Cranberry Pie
Vanilla Ice Cream
Merry Christmas, Gekko!
What a gorgeous, luscious menu! Merry belated Christmas, my friend.
I haven't done a standing rib since my garage freezer failed and ruined one that was about $35. I just haven't had the heart. But this sounds fabulous. I've been doing a lot of apple cranberry--great colors for Christmas.
