Yesterday we had a movable feast! We had invited the cousins and families to our house for dinner - prime rib and all the trimmings. As the day progressed the travel plans got messier. We had one coming from Rotterdam whose flight was delayed for 4 hours in Amsterdam due to weather in Chicago. She missed her connection and wasn't sure when she would be on the west coast. One was coming from Rochester, MN and coming through Chicago and he missed his flight connection in Chicago. There were two coming from Washington DC and United was trying to change their flight from a direct to LA to a stop in Chicago so we weren't sure when they would arrive. With all the anxiety and unknown arrival times it made sense to move the dinner to SLO so folks wouldn't be trying to play flight controller away from home base and the arrivals wouldn't have to trek another 35 minutes south after getting to SLO. So I cooked the beast to just below rare, fixed the mashed potatoes, prepped the green beans, fixed the appetizers - sausage bread (a big hit) and veggies with curry dip (copied from daughter K but all soy product)plus a cookies and cream cake and we bundled it all up and drove it to SLO.
Thank goodness everything worked out well and everyone made it home. The prime rib held up very well and the extra cooking of the sausage bread was just what it needed to turn out great!

Yay the curry dip! How'd that go over?
It was terrific. There was some left and they didn't give it back!
