My family and I, are going to my boyfriends Fathers house for Christmas. I am the cook for the holiday dinner. Bob, Scott's dad, wanted Baby back ribs for Christmas dinner. Bob is 88 years old and just lost his wife of 60 years this year, he has been eating out a lot since her passing.
So I asked him what he would like for dinner at Christmas time, having spent Thanksgiving with his brother-in-law and their family, so I wanted to make this Christmas special for us. Bob's wife Florence, made a great German potato salad that the whole family loved. So in keeping with tradition I will be serving up just want Bob wants for Christmas dinner this year.The dinner will consist of Baby Back Ribs, asparagus, homemade German potato salad, Homemade mini french breads, Cucumber and onion salad, and for dessert, drum roll please, Homemade pumpkin pie with a streusel topping.
I wish everybody the best of the holiday season, and a wonderful and blessed new year
