Rib roast, dungeness crab, Brussels sprouts, Hollandaise sause, doctored up horseradish (prepared horseradish, sour cream, Montreal seasoning, shallots). First shot is my plate, been rather consistent for the past 5 plus years.

Second shot is my youngest daughters plate (flute is Martinellis sparkling cider). She's always been a picky eater (never eats anything aside from bacon off the pit.) Some Christmas dinners even saw her eating chicken nuggets. As contradictory as this might sound, she's a fan of Vietnamese soup Pho. So we spent 6 hours yesterday making our own. It was quite the production, went to the asian market in town to get all the ingredients, the secret being the Cot Pho Bo soup base. We boiled beef neck bones, added a thin rib eye steak we had in the freezer. heated up ginger, seared star anise and cinnamon, used the spice packet along with the soup base. Had the butcher slide a chuck roast on the second thinnest setting (worked perfectly!) Boiled the noodles for 5 mins, added the mint, basil, and bean sprouts. Add hoisin and sriracha to taste. Picture doesn't really do it justice, and it was a little too salty (need to watch my portions on the soup base), but we were all very happy with our first attempt at Pho. Also made for a great family activity after opening presents.
