HA!!!
24 hours of on/off freezing rain, here, and my 95 year old honored guest, a WWII veteran and survivor of the Battle off Samar, didn't feel well enough to come. My elderly Mother came down with a whopper of a cold. My Brother didn't think a beef roast on Christmas day was worth risking the drive to my house for. Hell, I agreed with him. It was slick.
Wife and I shrugged, threw the beef, a 6 lb rib roast, in the freezer, and used the shrimp to prepare a nice shrimp, pasta, and vegetable salad. Easy, peazy, looked at photos, had some pie and coffee, later, and stayed in the whole day. It was actually nice to dress down and relax with just my family, and be thankful for it.
New Years Day is coming, we will try it again next week.
Best,
Ted
