Everything planned for the 25th turned out tasty: Standing rib roast, Cranberry creme pie, potato bread, mac-n-cheese, and honey cracked wheat bread with cinnamon and raisins. The house smelled great! (;

Today's left overs should be awesome, and nearly effortless!

I had salad for lunch, then a cheese sandwich in the evening.

My nephew grilled ribeyes.
I'm so sick of ham on the holidays.

It looks delicious.. it’s one of my favorites.
A friend brought me over some prime rib with all the good stuff. She knew I was alone yesterday as I was on call. Very grateful for the short visit with a good friend.

I’m hungry looking at those pics up close. Lol

That looks yummy. Did you have a ‘soggy bottom’? I made pasties with thyme, sautéed onions and cabbage, and leftover pot roast the other day. I was so proud of my pastry.

we had nothing special today; today isn't a special day for us, as we're jewish (and i'm an atheist, although he isn't). the only thing december 25 means to us is it's his late parents; wedding anniversary, which occasion doesn't carry with it any culinary traditions.

we had an unrelated holiday earlier this month, and for chanukah i cooked something totally untraditional: a 12-1/2-pound turkey! boy did we eat a lot of turkey all throughout chanukah, and even after (i froze some) but i did fit in some latkes, and one night i did bread and fry some (already cooked) turkey.

Looks like it came out well. Marco Pierre White would be pleased.

I had my Christmas lunch at work with all the trimmings and did not have to lift a finger towards doing anything.
