This is the Christmas Day menu I'd planned before my just turned 90 on Pearl Harbor Day y/o mother decided it was not to HER liking:
Starter: antipasti platter of home marinated 'shrooms, roasted peppers,artichoke hearts, blanched broccoli. Shaped into a Christmas tree.
Soup: Ginger carrot
Main course: Beef Wellington, sauteed green beans, roasted Brussel sprouts, mashed cauliflower garnished with fried shallots.
Dessert: Christmas cookies, Buche de Noel
I'm sure it would work nicely for prime ribs.
As you can see we are also veggie lovers.
FYI...we are now having roast duck(2 ducks. Please. And slow roast them; my mother is a massive trip milking this milestone birthday for alllll it's worth;)) and a boneless stuffed loin lamb roast. Basically the sides will remain the same but a country pate has been added to the starters. Just got the pork caul to wrap it in so better get in the kitchen.
