If I were cooking, which I am not because it is too difficult with a cane in one hand to do a big
meal, and my son will be hunting anyway, it would be a standing rib roast with Yorkshire pudding,
with meat juice reduced to a sauce or gravy (maybe with a little red wine added), mashed potatoes
and broccoli with cheese sauce...plus the usual dinner rolls and small green dinner salad.
That's my idea of a proper Christmas dinner. Dessert would be plum pudding,several servings
of which I have stashed in the freezer. It is my grandmother's recipe without alcohol, not the
standard recipe, and it is served hot (steamed to reheat) with Hard Sauce.
