Done


Lovely, but glad it is over!  In 15 minutes it will be time to drag it all out again and start over.  Christmas comes faster every year and while I love it, I wish there were a few more months of not having to think about it at all. 

I am doing that rib roast right now.  The schedule that was planned did not work out for anyone, so there the rib roast was staring at me with chagrin.  I snarled back because the curse of the cough once again threw me against the wall during this very merry time of year. It has long worn out its welcome and I am debating what to do to avoid it again.  It is on me before I know what is happening.  One minute I am fine, the next five minutes tells the tale of the week to come.  Oh, well.  That's life. Hence a very fine rib roast with roasted potatoes and carrots awaits some lucky people, ready or not.  The house smells great but I bet the oven will need cleaning because I started it off at 500 degrees for 15 minutes and then changed temps. to 325 for an hour and a half. I never worried so much about a hunk of meat in my life.  I hated opening the fridge--well, I wasn't hungry for four days anyway, so I didn't look in there too often.  Beth, Carly and Brooks were here, and Andy too.  So they helped out.
