This pretty picture is NOT what was served at my house today.
Baked bone in ham at 250 degrees all night until it fell off the bone.
Orange rolls (this item cancelled, I did not read the directions telling me to put frozen rolls in a non stick pan, cover with wrap and let RISE for 4 hours prior to baking-- okay boys back in the freezer, maybe a debut on New Years..sheesh)
Steamed broccoli in a bag. This is a microwave dish and should turn out well...uh..if I actually remember to stick the bag in and nuke it.
Waldorf Salad. Since I didn't have Mom's recipe I Googled a recipe and discovered that the original bonified recipe calls for green grapes and green onions! Well I had the apple, celery and walnuts. So I begged some grapes from the kitchen at work and Viola we haz Waldorf, Mayonnaise dressing cut with a bit of sour cream, 1/4 tsp celery seeds and 1 capful of apple cider vinegar and 1 packet Splenda. Not bad for improvising but certainly not the classic recipe. Sorry.
Thawed pumpkin pie left over from Thanksgiving...yeah Thanksgiving...it actually lasted that long!
Condiments consisting of black olives, green olives stuffed with onions, almonds and garlic cloves AND pickled okra...which by the way Mom introduced me to this last summer. Yummy snackin' Happy Day Off everybody.
And for those of you who have to work today the hospital is serving prime rib, garlic mashed potatoes, green salad, pie etc. Not too shabby. Bless 'em.

Sounds yummy. Hope you guys have a great Christmas
Our prime rib will go in the oven in about an hour and cook to perfection. We had a nice holiday and it's currently snowing, who knew?
Much love and many kisses

Rick cooked a succulent ham topped with brown sugar and pineapple. A side dish of scalloped potatoe, freash green salad, homemade crouisants, breadpudding, raspberry cheesecake pie, a pot of fresh brewed coffee. We waddled out of the around 5pm.....it was lovely.
It would have been better if we all could have been there. Happy Holidays.
