Easy A Prime Rib - Easy...

Merry Christmas! This was a version of our Christmas card photo and it was taken with my camera. It really is a thing of beauty - just point and shoot! Well, I start off this blog post confessing my love for this man. I spoil him, my dogs and horses rotten. Really, if you are a friend of mine it means I am loyal to the core. That is just how I am...  

Friday's dinner started off with a lovely bottle of wine - Stag's Leap Cabernet. Christmas decoration in the background... love! 

Prime Rib for two humans and two dogs equals a four pound roast. I let my roast come to room temperature, rubbed with butter and all seasonings possible. For fifteen minutes to start at 450 my roast got a nice sear. For an hour after at 350 my roast became this delicious brown beast. I let it rest for 20 minutes while I made my au jus out of a quality local beef stock and Stag Leap. Lucky au jus...

My favorite part about Prime Rib has always been the spicy horseradish and sour cream... I cannot refuse anything with copious amounts of cream! 

Our plates. Scott will do a back flip for corn so I always make it for him. It is always the first thing he eats off his plate. It is cute.

Did you know this was filmed in Ojai? Scott and I watched it over dessert and it was a treat to see our home town featured in the movie. Ojai is really famous. I should appreciate her beauty the next time I run for groceries, stamps and laundry!
