Yes, it was a shame and a loss, so to speak. I'm sure my family
relative was very disappointed with the well-done outcome of the roast
beast :/ They worked and tried very hard with a lot of effort (and
money!) to create a very good and memorable holiday meal. Thankfully,
the 'dinner' itself was fun otherwise!

Now a beef tenderloin roast for a holiday meal is something I'd
definitely call 'special' My fave, too!

Sky, ever the carnivore
