Christmas Season 2024/2025: Christmas Day - Cocktails, Appetizers, and Prime Rib (1st Day of Christmas)

 Wednesday, December 25,  2024

After my cigar I hopped in the pool. Dale and I were supposed to have potato peeling duty at 2:00.  Dale saw how much fun I was having outside and offered to take the job over. He's just that sweet. John came out and joined me in the pool where the water was heated to a perfect 90 degrees. 


When finished in the pool I picked a tangelo from John and Dianne's backyard tree. 

                      

I made a cocktail using Bombay Sapphire, tangelo slices and juice, and lime juice ice cubes. The ice cubes were from John's neighbors who used fresh squeezed lime juice from their backyard lime tree. 


After peeling the potatoes Dale boiled and them riced them.




John made a lovely baked brie as an appetizer which  turned out splendidly.


Prime rib was on  the menu for dinner. 


John used an air fryer to cook it. 





Later when ready....




Irv looks on as John fished it out. 





Dayum it turned out nicely. 


Really nicely. 





Dale and John worked on a nice juice to put on the meat.



My God it was beautiful! Mashed potatoes and green beans accompanied it. Old Fashioned as my dinner cocktail.
