I must be a rebel. SUCH a rebel. :-)

I wanted to make a standing rib roast for SOME holiday, and I plan to make a
ham on Christmas, so Thanksgiving seemed like a good opportunity. My guests
SEEM enthusiastic about the menu, but maybe it's just the free food they're
enthusiastic about.

I'll probably tinker with the recipe: Have you tried adding mushrooms and/or
cheese to it? (My local Costco has been carrying the most BEAUTIFUL
mushrooms, which I plan to use in my stuffed mushrooms, but since it's
Costco, the baskets contain MUCH more than I need for that, so I need to
find ways to use the excess. And since I'm NOT making a turkey, I won't be
able to throw them into the day-after tetrazzini -- although I am looking
forward to some day-after roast-beef hash.)
