Since we had a New Years Day party planned, room had to be made in the fridge for incoming ingredients and more after party leftovers, and I believe I could finally see some daylight Thursday. For this breakfast, it was a fried potato pancake, topped with an egg and sided with Beef Wellington - it was very good.
With a little thin sliced prime rib remaining, I asked Bev to make some sandwich rolls on bread day, thinking I'd have a sandwich of prime rib and horsey dressing, but then along came Mary. She posted a
French Dip Sandwich on her One Perfect Bite blog and I discovered I had some leftover au jus in addition to the meat. It had been years since I'd had one, so it just had to be a French dip for a late lunch. I just reheated everything in the microwave and dug-in as the three dogs sat lined up in hopes of a scrap.
While I believe the sandwich is normally made with roast beef from further back on the cow, I have to say the prime rib makes an acceptable substitute :-). It was a big sandwich and it stuffed me, but I dunked and ate every bite, with only a little au jus left for the pups. What a great way to finish off the leftovers and it's been nice taking the week off from any real cooking. I'm beginning to wonder if we only cook so I can have leftovers for breakfast.
New Years Resolutions
As for these little promises, I like to keep mine to myself, so tune in on Dec 31 and I'll let you know if I accomplished any of them. :-)
Have a great day and I hope your new year is off to a great start.

Your New Year's leftovers look really good. I know my belly would be full.
ReplyDeleteTime to clean out once again and get ready for another food fest. I think a week of veggies and fruits may do me good (nah). I think I am in a food coma from the holidays.
Looking forward to your blog posts in 2011.

This looks fabulous, larry! I'm not sure if I've told you this, but roast beef sandwiches are my favorite food EVER. I seriously think I could eat them every day.
ReplyDeleteI can't decicde if you are kind of leftovers or kind of fried eggs. Either one is fine in my book!
ReplyDeleteHaha Larry, I think I like the way you think resolution-wise hehe. Those are some mighty fine leftovers there - I think I like your French Dip way better than the ones I've eaten. Looking forward to your posts in 2011!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really delicios. Feeling hungry.
ReplyDeleteAnother super-delicious looking breakfast and lunch - I'm thinking that, like me, you cook to have the leftovers to enjoy too for a meal or three afterwards.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Bev a very happy and healthy 2011,
