Wow that sounds good!

When we butchered the steer this fall I kept one of the prime rib sections whole for today. Patty's in doing some prep and listening to Christmas music while I drink coffee with our sons dog laying next to my chair.

Great way to start a day.

hi Sawguy

NZ Christmas is a bit mixed up. Traditional is to have a full roast meal, drink some beer, then go and sleep in the sun  :D

Myself.... I'd rather just do a salad and bbq, drink some beer and sleep in the sun.  ;D

I managed 2 roast meals on Christmas day, chicken, turkey, beef etc. Roast pumpkin, potato and kumera ( a sweet potato ). Desert was fruit salad, icecream, trifle, pavlova and ice cream. Fresh strawberrys and cherries too  :D
I had to do a bit of driving over the day so took it real easy on the beers, and weather this Christmas was a bit dodgy. Sometimes it's nice and sunny, sometimes it's not.

This is a pic from my back door this afternoon, yes it's fresh snow up on the hill.


Cheers

Ian
