My birthday is coming up. January 24. So you know what's gonna happen, don't you? Either snow, or sleet, or freezing rain.
Or all of the above. Been like that for the past several years now.
So today? I took matters into my own hands. I called our local butcher and ordered a 4-rib standing rib roast for Saturday, January 21. And I'm making that puppy myself.
My GF's husband's birthday is January 28, so they're coming down for dinner on the 21st. She is bringing a salad.
The menu....
Standing Rib Roast with Yorkshire Pudding (the roast will be done rare; I already told everybody it's rare or it's nothing.)
Hasselback Potatoes
Asparagus with Hollandaise
My GF's salad
I am making Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Chocolate Cake and frosting it with my whipped peanut butter frosting. It's my GF's DH's most favorite cake on earth.
And there will be wine. They may even be margaritas. I don't care whether margaritas "go with" a standing rib roast or not.
It's my birthday and I'll cook if I want to!
So take that weather!
