CE, I will certainly do all of that..........Pictures and methods............
That Prime rib roast I made for my total family.........We had Christmas at B and S inlaws.......year before last...........
I wish I would have gotten some of the little ones, I'm talking 2 1/2 to 3' folks, my great nieces and nephews running around the house, and chewing on pieces of Prime Rib Roast..............The kids had all eaten, they were done and playing.......I cut up pieces of Prime Rib.....1/2" x 1/2" x 3"........perfect size for little bitty hands...........My niece Coleene said to me, "Uncle Joe, all the kids would rather have those little pieces of prime rib then desert............I cut some more up for the big people, and they ate them all up........
I don't need accolades, don't need an attaboy, just need to see all them little people chewing on my Prime Rib Roast long past dinner time.......So, my little great niece Drew jumped into my lap, still chewing on her piece of Prime Rib......"Uncle Joe, does Aunty Laurey
buy "Cuties" for you, you would like them"...........I told her no , but I would ask Aunty Laurie to get some soon................I asked TYQ later, what is a "Cutie" It's an Orange ya big goof......I'll get you some..........She did and they are wonderful.......Easy to peal oranges with no seeds.......Try some "Cuties" my Pards, they are very good and highly recomended by my great niece Drew........
I think that was her way to thank me for the great Prime Rib kid size pieces I cut up......She let me in on her favorite oranges.....
She is going to be a very good woman some day, she's a terrific kid today....And just cute as a button.......My nephew Jason is a good looking guy, his wife Colleen looks like the kid in the Fiat commercials with the black and orange dress.....Drew is Princess material.....
What does it all mean, How does it all measure?.......I told myself not to spice up the Prime Rib so's the kids wouldn't like it, I didn't....
The very fact that them little ones wanted to chew on pieces of my roast for desert rather then all the cakes and confections, just elevated my opinion of me, .......to Culinary Rock Star..............Talk about a Warm Fuzzy....................
I made a 22lb Prime Rib, plenty and then some to send everyone home with leftovers........I made damn sure all the young Moms had plenty of leftovers to feed their kids with for the next few days.................On the drive home.......TYQ says to me......Your roast was a hit kid.......You blew all the girls out of the water........They loved it, but, are a bit jealous....................
Collene my niece helped her daughter Drew compose an E-Mail to me.....Uncle Joe what are you going to make for Easter?
I don't know yet, but, it's going to have to be world shaking.............
I told her I would make something good........
My niece Angie who's hubby is a Cop E-Mailed me and told me I'm making all the girls look bad with my fancy cooking......
I burst out laughing and mailed her back....Ang, I'm retired, I can watch all the cooking channel shows I wish......I watch them all most times.......
Her son Cameron had a piece of roast in his fist the whole evening...........
So..........it doesn't have to be fancy.......Kids don't understand fancy.......They do understand good....................
I would do whatever it takes to fill them little tummys with good stuff..............
