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.

I made Yorkshire pudding once as a child. Only once because nobody was
impressed by it. I think I was expecting something really special. I don't
remember it being bad. Just not something really good either.

You could call it a savory Dutch Baby.

I can't see the point in that since I won't be making it again. I only ever
had a Dutch Baby once. Many years ago at a restaurant. They served it with
lemon wedges and maple syrup. I liked it but I think what I liked was the
lemon juice and the maple syrup! Not so much the pancake.

You seem to be odd man out on a lot of things. Dutch Babies and
Yorkshire Pudding are wonderful and lots of people love them, even
posters to rfc. You seem to be the only one who doesn't, so don't
make or eat them. The rest of us will enjoy ours.

I absolutely adore Yorkshire Pudding. Prime rib, gravy, horseradish
and Yorkshire Pud - you can't beat it. I make it very rarely, because
there is a danger that I'd eat all of it in one sitting.

What do you usually serve for dessert? I saw an idea I'm going to try
either Christmas Eve, NYE or somewhere in between. Dessert crepes
with pumpkin butter spread (thank you Trader Joe's) on them. Haven't
gotten any further with the concept than that. I plan to spread the
pumpkin butter thinly over the entire crepe and then fold them in
quarters. Don't know if I'll serve them with whipped cream, some sort
of boozy (probably rum) sauce or both.

Ugh. Prime rib has got to be among my least favorite foods. Or maybe I've
just gotten bad ones but my husband won't eat it either. Every time I have
tried it, it was so fatty and chewy that I wound up spitting it out into my
napkin and not trying another bite.

I'm not the only one. Nobody in my family likes them either.

Your family is special. Everyone in my family loves Yorkshire Pud.
