Amen. I am glad to say we don't have any of those folks in our crew. Pretty much I cook, they eat, everyone's happy.Sounds delicious… I love a prime rib, but we have a few that don’t understand that “medium rare” is how it’s served. They bitch about the meat being “too rare” (it’s a free meal - shut the fuck up), I’ve also served whole, grilled beef tenderloin and a select few had the same complaint. I can’t fix stupid. I’m not wasting money on $35/pound beef to hear people bitch. We’re having braised short ribs in a red wine reduction with a a celery/onion/ carrot Jus over mashed potatoes…
My slicing game was poor this year, but temp was really good:
Prime + a 12h cook at 131.5F gave good results IMO. The sear was Mayo, Better Than Bullion Chipotle bullion, and the Lawry's garlic salt with the big chunks for both salt and garlic. Oven at 400F convection until it looked right. I used to do 500F but even with the convection I'd get little spots that would char.

Everything came out good! No pics but the prime rib and lamb were cooked nicely, potatoes and squash were a big hit. Green bean casserole was even good, my SIL made that. Lots of complements on the beef, i used some porcini powder in the dry rub along with onion/garlic powder, salt, pepper and fresh herbs. Lamb was trimned/frenched last night, and rubbed with a spice rub with no salt. Seared both of them in a large saute pan before roasting.
Ended up making wings, did not make the shrimp. Wings were gone quickly, corn starch/ranch powder dredge, then hit with more ranch powder out of the fryer. Very crispy. They eat a little cleaner than dipping in ranch dressing but still have good ranch flavor.
People went apeshit with desserts- cakes and pies galore, cookies etc. i didn't really eat much of that.
