We have a few people coming over tonight.  At least nine, might end up being 10.  And of course it’s Christmas Eve, so there’s a little bit of expectation, right?  Here’s the menu:

• Stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer.  Stuffed with basil, sun dried tomato and garlic.
• Standing rib roast for the omnivores among us.  It’s been aging in the fridge for a couple of days.  I actually woke up thinking about this the other night — completely paranoid that it was going to screw up.
• Wild rice.
• The spicy potato / cauliflower thing I started the other day — it’s crazy good.
• Rolls.  Need to start making those soon or they won’t be done in time.  There’s a fair chance my sister in law will throw one just to be funny.
• Salad.  Gotta figure out a decent dressing. The Cesar from the other day — fantastic.  Not even close to low cal but pretty freaking good.
• Creme Brulee.  A recipe close to the one I did the other day.  Pretty darn good, all things considered.  Nothing close to healthy.

Merry Christmas!
