for New Year’s dinner we tried something new…

we had prime rib… for many years we would have steak and lobster with twice-stuffed potatoes…

so this was fun to try… cooking the prime rib was interesting… first, it had to sit on the counter for six hours to reach room temperature, then it went into the oven at 500°F for half an hour, and finally the oven was turned off and it sat inside it for two hours…

quite the process, but it came out perfect for those of us who enjoy rare meat;-)…

there were mashed potatoes, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts with carrots, little Yorkshire puddings, and gravy…

delicious…
