A Quiet Christmas

I spent a very quiet and relaxing holiday, partly by choice and partly because winter weather kept people from traveling.

Christmas Eve was spent with extended family, playing games, listening to music, having dinner and opening gifts in front of the fireplace.  How all that can exhaust me I’ll never know, but it did!

Yesterday was spent tidying up a bit, quietly reading, watching movies (a remake of the classic Jane Eyre).

Prime rib made for some yummy leftovers. Here’s a cooking tip:  Slice very rare left over prime rib into nice thick pieces, sprinkle blackened seasonings and throw on the grill for seconds on each side – just long enough to warm it up.  Delicious!
