BillyVance 34 #1 December 28, 2007 Sunday night - Christmas Eve Eve: Swiss Cheese Fondue with toasted bits of French bread and slices of apple. Monday night - Christmas Eve: Beef Tenderloin roast, steamed cauliflower with bread crumbs, and a couple other dishes I can't remember. The tenderloin was $14 per lb but got it on sale for $10 per lb. I remember thinking it had better be damn good for a $30 piece of meat!!! Oh boy was it damn good! Tuesday night - Christmas dinner!: 14 lb turkey, Pepperidge Farm dressing, green bean casserole, onion balls, cranberry sauce, and a couple other dishes I can't remember. We had 7 people, including my folks and a skydiver friend and his wife. Been eating leftovers all week. My weight went up 5 lbs. Now I only weigh 150! I just jammed the turkey carcass into a big pot and boiled it last night. Gonna make turkey soup.

livendive 8 #2 December 28, 2007 Saturday my folks took Erin and I out for a steak dinner. Sunday was ham with my whole family. Monday night was a couple of beeyootiful new yorks. Tuesday was my first attempt at a prime rib, and it was really good, albeit slightly overcooked. As of yesterday morning, I am the fattest I've ever been in my life...2 lbs more than my previous high 5-ish years ago. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

We had prime rib Christmas Eve, I had to work in the afternoon on Christmas. I've got the best prime rib recipe in the world, works every time. Let me know if you want it. You'll have perfect prime rib every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll have perfect prime rib every time. I'm not sure if it was my method or my thermometer that caused the problem. Most things online said to pull it out at 140 degrees for medium rare. I pulled it at 135 and rested it for 20 minutes and it ended up medium well (but still very tender & juicy). Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
