Full turkey supper here too, even when on vacation. Pecan pie with whipped cream for dessert for the adults. I made brownies for the children, also served with whipped cream.
Christmas Day supper was leftovers from Christmas Eve - cabbage rolls, smoked salmon, salad, carrots - plus I fried potatoes, and we had baked ham and garlic sausage.
Making ham!
Last night of course was our christmas dinner. Turkey, ham, stuffing, little mini twice baked potatoes. I don't know how my cousin has the patience to make those all the time lol. and my contribution which were the carrots(brown sugar, honey, molasses, salt, pepper, and walnuts)
The only pics I took were of my carrots,lol and the desserts table. ;)

left over prime rib roast
Leftover turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy. I didn't make enough gravy, we used it all tonight!
The old lady across the street gave me a care package this afternoon including days worth of turkey, gravy and mashed potatoes! Yahoo!!!!
had leftover ham from yesterday's dinner, so I made a ham and egg "scromlette" (I cannot flip foods like omlettes, pancakes, etc).
Ha, scromlette. :) I do something like that, I include fried mushrooms/onions/peppers, diced ham and/or bacon, and leftover diced potatoes. Heat the meat and veggies in a frying pan sprayed with cooking spray, then add about a half dozen scrambled eggs. Stir around until it's nearly all cooked, then sprinkle on some cheese and put it in the oven for a bit.
remind me next time, not to make prime rib roast ever again or at least get a smaller cut
but that was the smallest and cheapest, i could get
it turned out a bit stringy
guess i'll be eating that for the next few days until it's gone
what a waste.
I wouldn't buy one in the regular grocery store, go to a butcher if you're going for a nice cut of meat like that.Quote:

there is literally no fat on the cubes
no wonder they sell it for cheap.

We don't have Metro here, Sobeys and Superstore are our big chains that I can get to regularly, and I wouldn't buy any kind of roast or steak from either of them. I buy sirloin grilling steaks and sirloin tip roasts (that are VERY big) at Costco. The price is good especially for the roasts, I cut them to a reasonable size and freeze the portions we're not using. Sometimes I cut it into stew meat too, it's about $3 a pound and it's better than what the grocery store can supply IMO. The steaks are a bit more expensive, but 10x better to me. Costco doesn't sell prime rib that I've seen, not sure why that is.
Hot & Sour Soup again ;)
I love that stuff and could eat it every day :P. I used ground turkey this time and it still tastes great!
