Ended up making a Crown Roast of Pork. First time I have every made it. Seasoned it with kosher salt and a mixture of fresh sage & rosemary and olive oil. Inserted this seasoning in slits in the meat and used the remainder to cover the outside. I loved how this dish presents and it tasted great!

My work day has gone from 8 hours to 12 hours, so we'll see how motivated I get today. I brought the ham to heat up here (then I'll take it straight to dinner), but also brought ingredients to make chex mix, chocolate syrup, and cinnamon rolls. It's been a long time since I've made (yeast) cinnamon rolls!

We had our dinner last night. We had punch, a cheese ball and crackers, veggie tray, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls, ham and rib roast. For dessert we had chocolate pie and pumpkin pie.
I was in charge of the roast so it was perfect and not well done. Nothing is sadder than spending $70 on a piece of meat and burning it. Even if I didn't buy it!

We're grilling. DH gets an angus ribeye, DS gets a chicken breast, will grill flatbread too. I'm doing kaesespaetzle, baked potatoes and some form of broccoli. If I'm feeling ambitious we might do chocolate cupcakes; if not there are lots of cookies hanging around. I'm pretty low on ambition though after all the preparation, Christmas morning, and facing cleanup and a long road trip in a couple of days.

My mom cooked a lot of stuff. I had lasagna, roasted Brussels sprouts, roasted carrots, and this chocolate dessert thing my uncle brought. DS had turkey, Mac and cheese, corn, and raw carrots.... And a little of the chocolate dessert I had.

Everyone was happy. We drank up all the booze Christmas Eve and morning so DS brought a bottle of wine for dinner. All the meals were awesome! Glad to be getting my house back today. We are dog sitting while the maintenance people fix the disposal at DS’s place. Dog does not like maintenance people. DD was thrilled and made dog sleep with her last night. Cat was thrilled about that. Everyone is happy.

My dad made au gratin potatoes to go with the ham and prime rib, and they were awesome. He wanted something "different" this year, so he practiced the recipe until it was perfect. He's supposed to send me the recipe.

If he is eating any decent vegetable in any state, I'm happy.

DSIL’s Italian dinner yesterday was great! I used the frozen stuffed shells with honemade marinara and everyone loved them. Yay! Lasagna SIL made was delicious as well as the bruschetta, caprese salad and breads.

I love my mom and her cooking but OMG her version of Italian food is seriously lacking garlic and spices.

The only veggies one of my dad’s brothers would eat were carrots and iceberg lettuce. And only ranch dressing on that lettuce. Mom always used him as the “don’t” when we were kids. And then he got colon cancer and mom felt so awful about it she quit using his eating habits to convince us to eat better. I still second guess myself when I reach for ranch dressing.
