Master Chef
Thank you, LL...
This story reminds me so much of the Prodigal Son from the Bible. He, too, was ashamed to return home and ashamed of his behavior. But like you, his father was overjoyed and prepared a feast in his honor. Your menu sounds like such a feast, Connie.You are all so kind. Seeing our boy like this, after all the times we saw him eaten up with meth and pills, truly is a Christmas miracle.
He's off the street now, staying with his married cousin, but because of all we went through with him, he had been afraid to come see us. My blessed daughter finally convinced him that we loved and missed him.
The meal tonight will be a rib-eye roast, stuffed with garlic cloves, peppered, and packed in rock salt, then baked until medium rare. We'll have au juice gravy (from a packet), mashed potatoes, fresh broccoli and dinner rolls (Pillsbury's frozen). Then, of course, the chocolate truffle cake for dessert.
