Since there isn't much happening with the Flames right now because of you know...
I thought I would ask the all important seasonal question.... what's for dinner on Christmas day?
This year my wife and I thought we would do something different from the traditional turkey, stuffing, veggies and potatoes. So we thought.. what about a prime rib roast with Yorkshire pudding? So off to Costco we went to check out their prime rib roasts. Were we ever in for a surprise. A two rib roast cost $85! WTF?
So then we thought... lets take a look at steak and lobster. A NY striploin (not the best steak but certainly not the worst) costs about $30/kg and lobster tails cost $85 a kg.
Needless to say we left Costco empty handed and ended up going back the the old standby... turkey. Got a 4.5 kg fresh turkey (I find fresh is juicier than frozen) for $23.... So for Christmas dinner in the Rubi household it will be roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, turnip and brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, and lots of gravy.... and ending up with lots of leftovers as well as delicious turkey soup.
