Merry Christmas!
The manbeast is taking care of supper today. MiL is napping on the couch. The urchin is playing with some magnaforms. FiL is chatting with the manbeast. Whiskey is patiently waiting for food to magically appear.
Mustard-Seed-Crusted Prime Rib Roast with Dijon Créme Fraîche and Roasted Balsamic Onions. I made the dijon créme fraîche, but refuse to let the manbeast delegate the shallot prep to me. WFM only had small shallots, not big ones. Pain in the tush. His dad can help if he likes.
Yams with Crispy Skins and Brown-Butter Vinaigrette. I offered to help remove the skins, but he was already doing it by the time I returned from my coke (soda) run.
Broccoli. Already blanched, it will be warmed with garlicky olive oil later.
Salad. The vinaigrette will feature local wine vinegar (merlot, I think) and not-so-local goat cheese.
I bought some local gouda for snacking. And there's fruitcake thawing, too. Yum!
