Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

Tonight we will eat Chinese food. It's a tradition started when our kids were small and the only place in town that was open Christmas eve was the Chinese restaurant.

For tomorrow I am making a standing rib roast for just the two of us. Mashed potatoes for sure and carrots, but maybe more than that.
 
Today it’ll be ham, baked beans, mashed potatoes, and rolls - all were made by me. Jenny is making her Orange Fluff Salad, and I don’t know what Tam’s making - Shrimp Dip, I think. Funny, I make Christmas dinner here at my house, but Christmas dinner is at Tam’s house.....kind like going to a restaurant and bringing your own food! Oh, well. Tam can’t cook and never could. So at least if I make it and haul it, it’ll be edible!

I hope she does some of the prep work!

Had the Chinese food and then went to my sister's last night.

Made a 6 # standing rib roast for the two of us. :th Circumstances. Didn't make the carrots because I had a frozen container of sweet and sour red cabbage. Also made Crescent rolls. Roast was Rosemary/Thyme/butter encrusted and provided a great gravy. Princess and I had a disagreement about how to cook it - she was almost correct - I apologized, but sometimes she drives me nuts even after all these years. :barnie We both ate way too much. Love that Rosemary aftertaste. :drool
