Kyle's family has a tradition of having prime rib and yorkshire pudding for Christmas. Needless to say, when I married Kyle my family all voted to adopt this tradition into our family! However, instead of having it on Christmas day we have our big dinner on Christmas Eve. (Kyle's the big chef for this meal with about 5 sous chefs on hand...it's kind of our big Christmas present to my parents.) Usually I'm good about getting pictures of everything, but this year I wasn't. Fortunately, we invited our friends, Erin and Christian to join in on the festivities and Christian volunteered to get some pictures for me! UNfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of everyone at the table before dinner. Oops! Oh well, here are a few pics for you to enjoy.
Here's everyone filling their plates when it was all finished.
The Menu:
Spinach Salad
Caesar Salad
Yorkshire Pudding
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
Prime Rib (of course!)
and not pictured:
Grilled Asparagus with Gorgonzola Butter
Zuchinni & Feta Pizza (for our vegetarian friend) :)
and dessert was provided by our two Erins:
Double Chocolate Mousse Cake
&
Mississippi Mud
Both were sinfully delish, thanks Erin and Erin!!!!

Love the festive earrings!!!
My beautiful backside. I was checking the bottom of the plate the yorkshire pudding was on because they were done a little early and had to stay in the oven to stay warm and I wasn't sure if the plate could go in the oven. Just beautiful.
Rachel having a little too much Martinelli's to drink. :)
Erin and her lovely cake.

I've asked once and I'm asking again, are your parents interested in adopting 4 children? (Me and my family of course :-) It looks yummy. What exactly is Yorkshire pudding?
looks divine. does kyle give cooking classes?
Y.U.M.
Crystal- Hey, you guys are welcome anytime!!! Yorkshire pudding isn't pudding at all, it's basically like an egg popover that you serve with gravy. I'll post the recipe if you want!
Celia- I keep telling Kyle to give up on this whole counseling/psychology thing...I'm pretty sure he was destined to be a chef. :) His argument is that he doesn't want to have to deal with learning about alcohol. Oh well. You know, he'd probably love to do a cooking class!
Totally understand about the alcohol. I feel like I can make a pretty mean meal, but Kyle just seems to have such a gourmet flare.
Yes, please post the recipe!
Celia- YES, you sure can cook! I steal recipes from you all the time!
WOW, that's a close shot of my face! I didn't remember that one being taken.... Thanks for having us over! Everything was delicious!
