Neighborhood COVID bubble, NYE dinner

Glad 2020 is gone and celebrating seeing it in the rear view mirror as we hopefully move through disease and turmoil. The neighborhood folks that tested negative met in our home for a dinner I will never forget. I did prime rib which I left open in the fridge for a couple days to assist in building a nice crust when combined with the rub I made from mixing several together. Awesome result. Pulled it at 135°F and let sit for 30 minutes tented with foil.
served whole mash potatoes with cheddar, sour cream and butter all mixed together, fresh baked rolls, and ratatouille with parsnips. The wine was a silky fruit forward French Bordeaux, which was a decent buy.
 
The evening was a wonderful respite from what has become a year of struggle personally for us all.
thank you for looking. Hope 2021 is a much better year for us all, and please stay safe and stay well.

Peace for all

    Way to take the precautions and have an enjoyable and unforgettable evening to acknowledge the close of 2020.  The meal looks great and the camaraderie is clearly evident around the table.
    Happy New Year.
    Stay healthy and safe out there.

    Lot of protesting today at his home. Those dedicated to Trump airing their grievances regarding their opinions on the stolen election, deep state conspiracies, hoax virus, etc., Suzy took this picture walking the dog this morning:

    He is very seldom in Kentucky, just enough time to maintain his position as Senator. Where we live is the “Mt Everest” in Louisville for progressives liberals. Neighbors all around his residence have anti McConnell signs posted on their property. Thinking between now and Jan 20 will be very interesting around here.

    Thank you Frank for the kind words. We are doing what we can, to help, and to keep up morale in our neighborhood. It is a different world we are heading to in the new year.

    We are and have been trying to get ready for retirement and the traveling to find the place we want to be, and getting work done with the house to sell, and the projects at work, along with mentoring people to replace me has just killed our free time. I have missed all my friends here, and I do hope to participate more this year than 2020.

    Stay safe and take all the steps to stay well. 

    Thank you very much for the kind words.

    Thank you for the kind words. Like many of us on here, we are missing friends and loved ones at our table this year, due to the virus. I find a sense of peace in my minimal offering to others, while hoping it helps them in some manner. Community is key within our neighborhood.

    Looking forward to when may meet again and share good times. We deserve it my friend. You are one of the best.

    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    I sure hope the tests are 100% accurate! Cuz they generally aren’t. 

    This is just over the top funny! It’s like when Nola was ranting and raving about COVID and people not following protocol while posting pictures of he and his family continually breaking the protocols 🤣🤣🤣🤣 fishing with buddies, working in shop with buddies, hosting a cookout at his home etc. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    granted, that was prior to the drying out period and he was understandably concerned for his better half working in the medical field, but still! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    ”had to test negative to get in” YOU MEAN LIKE THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE RULES? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Worked for them? 

    Is this real or just an elaborate ruse? If this is a joke then bravo! Well played. 

    Hope everyone is well! 

    Too funny! Especially from Ron.

    As a medical professional and bomb thrower, you should be ashamed of yourself. I personally don’t care but I’m not a hypocritical bomb thrower like Ron. The test is clearly not fool proof just ask Elon Musk. Whether or not I was drinking is irrelevant to me being spot on. You have disgraced your standing as a medical professional by not telling the truth which is what Ron did was wrong and selfish according to his own words and standards. Hell, the WH was getting tested not once, but continually and while it is an indicator and better than nothing, it’s far from foolproof. 

    If you are gonna throw bombs at others for their behavior, I expect nothing short of full compliance from you. 🤨 

    the emojis where meant to convey that i spit whiskey all over the place from laughter after reading the gratuitous back slapping post. Funnier crap is hard to find. I think the tree rat bit was the only thing funnier. Maybe Nola and his rants while partying with his buddies, maybe. Nope. It’s this one with Ron. No one has been a bigger full of BS loudmouth on their imaginary soap box than good ole Ron. Thanks for the insight into how you think though. Truly hilarious. I could go all day on this as there are numerous layers of disgustingness, but I have better things to do. Gotta line up a testing line for my next party. I’m gonna take a temperature at the door so I’m extra extra careful. 🤣

    Guy is the leading bomb throwing jag off. It’s ironic that it bothers you when he exposes himself to his well deserved come up ins. I personally don’t care if he gets together or anyone else does for that matter, but it just way too rich when it comes from him. Hilarious really. The A hole is the guy who for months lambasted everything and made it about politics and Covid-19 and then breaks protocol and broadcasts it for everyone to see. Who the heck wouldn’t want to have a nice dinner party? Who wouldn’t like to have get together? Who wouldn’t like to go to church? Who wouldn’t like to have a wedding?  The guy calling people killers and murders has no business engaging in the very behavior he has vilified. Pretty simple. You wish to ignore it because you are not intellectually honest and never will be. Pretty simple. You sycophants are awfully funny as well. Guy is a big ole phony. If you’re gonna be that guy then you gotta walk the walk. It’s just another Gavin Newsome moment. 🤣
