If you ever don't have a home for Christmas, I'll invite you to ours. We have a 9lb NY strip roast dry aging in our refrigerator right now, stuffed potatoes waiting for their second baking, pork wellingtons awaiting their fate, and all the ingredients for a vegetable ambrosia of squash, brussel sprouts, dried cranberries, nuts, and more. We strive to get our foods and drinks up to that level almost every year.

Better still, when you do get to that level of holiday party yourself, send an invite my way. *grin*
