Everything was perfect...the angus premium prime rib ..you know the kind, several hundred degrees for 45 minutes and let rest for an hour....Noe was brilliant! She cut the 14 pounder in half to get 4 END CUTS!! That cut down the cooking time and I still had a great medium rare bloody piece!!! Caesar salad and some spiced red potatoes, rolls and some great wassail and punch (Hall family secret, tastes a bit like wine!) rounded out the meal...oh, and because of massive amounts of cookies and fudge, who needed dessert! Jenny brought a huge apple pie! Some years we sit down to dinner service, but paper plates and plastic cups made for lighter cleanup and I'm sure the mommies are glad for less work and more enjoyment of the celebration!
