This is it--the star of our Christmas dinner, an 8 ribber prime rib roast. I have written about our menu at http://www.marthastewart.com/article/a-cut-above. One year several years ago-I made this menu. I guess it was an impressionable year for the boys because I've never been able to make anything else since. There are never enough Yorkshire Pudding Popovers (the dripped beef fat/juice used instead of butter to line popover pan). The roast itself is like a great big man Christmas present for them all--one I'd only give once a year. They talk about this meal all year and that is what holiday ritual is all about--creating an experience that is anticipated with utter delight year after year.
The only question remaining for me this year is dessert which is one place I have a little wiggle room (as long as its cake). I spoke with master baker Rose Levy Berenbaum www.realbakingwithrose.com about it and she suggested a chocolate cake with brownie bits broken up inside and an orange mousseline butter cream--so freakishly decadent. One boy has asked for chocolate cake, strawberries and a plain buttercream but I'm not sold on using strawberries this time of year. Would appreciate any interesting suggestions that are not too complicated.
