This year my mom took over the cooking of the traditional Christmas feast. She made a standing rib roast, which my stepdad expertly carved:
... as well as Yorkshire pudding with the pan drippings:
My mom took these pics because I was feeding the baby, so I don't have closeups of the green beans with almonds or the mashed potatoes, but here's a table shot:
And my plate with a little bit of everything:
The meat was done perfectly, nice and rare. Everything was fantastic and a great meal to celebrate our first Christmas with Baby Girl. Dessert was a yummy, dense chocolate cake:
... and coffee. I could have eaten half the cake, it was that good.
Looks amazing! Happy New Year!
