That looks wonderful!

Question for you... do you serve a 'perfect plate' then have a big dish of extra chops in the middle of the table?

I don't think I could eat just one of those! :D


Look great.


You must be doing it right, then!

Thanks!

We did both have a second rib. ;)

Made the colored sugar for them, too. Didn't feel like being overcharged at the store. Put them in some spare shakers.

Prime rib with caramelized onions, coarse-mashed potatoes, and fresh asparagus. Balsamic vinegar, sour cream, and horseradish sauce for the steak. Tasty, but I fail at plating, lol. :) Oh, and the beer is Magic Hat #9.

^^^^It's pronounced "Pha" not "Pho"! :p


We did takeout from the Cheesecake Factory last night for dinner.

We shared a Luau Salad:
