My favorite Christmas dinner from the past was when my grandma made a couple prime rib roasts, mashed potatoes with gravy, a few vegetable casseroles, steamed veggies, dinner rolls, and a table full of different pies - pumpkin, pecan, apple, cherry, blackberry and peach cobblers…yum!
But fuck…that’s a lot of work! It took her two days to prep and cook everything. And we DID offer to help, but she used to be very fussy about her kitchen, so we were only allowed to mix things or peel potatoes lol.
