In hand:
much cheeses
charcuterie including an experimental meat known as bresaola
wegetable cwuditay
ranch
carckers
baguette
tinned seafood if desired
large fruit salad
4.25lb boneless prime rib, fully cooked. Reheat shall be an experiment
(this is an improvement over the smallest turkeys I could find, 6-8lbs)
green bean casserole
mashed sweet potatoes
scalloped potatoes
some sort of stewed cinnamon apple thing
prior five dishes are all prepackaged from Safeway. The prime rib packaging instructions advise the home cook to “boil in bag”, eg, sous vide, which is tempting. I hate using plastic under heat though so experiment ho!

Knorr brownt gravy

1 (One) half gallon Tillamook marionberry Icet Creme
