I"m not sure of the weight yet. It will be 2 or 3 bones, not too big because
I'm also making Alton Brown's ham recipe from a week or so ago.
Definitely an investment, but it only comes once a year!

this was some space age, moon style dry aged stuff. I could probably have
gotten one cheaper, but..you know.
The funny thing was that I had purchased a 3.5 pounder as it was just going to
be a few of us then my aunt called to say she had been disinvited to my other
aunt's Christmas dinner (I love family politics, and people wonder why we
drink so much at things like baby showers and graduation parties. I'm usually
the one out on the patio with a vodka tonic and a cigarette going "good god,
did you see how pilled up so and so is? I'm amazed she is standing") and asked
if she could come over. I called the grocery store and they were cool about
exchanging the roast which I thought was a little weird but figured I'd go
with it since I needed the bigger roast.

That's what we did last year. We decided never to do it again. The
stuff in restaurants is better than our results were, therefore a
better value for the money. Plus, they give a you a baked potato. <G>

What is wrong with a steak? If you want beef for one person a steak is a
good option. I usually find tenderloin to be relatively economical. It
costs more per pound but there is no waste, and they are tasty and tender
of cooked properly..... not much cooked.

Wowsa! I just checked with Charlie's Meat Market in Memphis and the bone-in
roast is $7.99/lb; boneless $8.99/lb. I'd always buy the bone-in roast, so
for a 5 pounder, that's $40. I might just get a smaller one for New Year's
Day.

I'm thinking (now, but my mind could change) roasted cornish game hen with
cornbread dressing for Christmas.

time to make. But we can make some over there!

And you can make Delilahs!!!

When are you available to get together to plan?

This year it's bouillabaisse for 10 (at least) I am not looking forward to
calculating that out.

I once made paella for a friend, I took him to the fish store with me. Huge
mistake. Everything I picked out he wanted a couple more...a few more shrimp,
a few more scallops, a few more clams, and on and on.

The paella was wonderful if a tad overcooked (don't imbibe before making
paella), but expensive.

A friend makes oyster stew at xmas... maybe something like that would
be a little easier on your wallet.

I think the freind ought to be slightly more considerate towards you
wallet. And I think that was very generous of you.
