Christmas Eve 2009 Dinner


Sorry I wasn’t able to post anything last night (Christmas eve for us) because I had a little bit to drink and was really sleepy 😀 I made it past 12 midnight with the kids to open presents, but when I went up to our room to turn on the laptop, I started to fall asleep *hehehehe old age!!*.

So today, I am writing about the fantastic dining experience last night. We went to Sundance, a Prime Rib place,

with my side of the family, all the kids, and the inlaws. There were 21 of us. INSANE! But hella fun!

Without further ado, the food!!

Ok, I ordered appetizers for the kids because we got to the restaurant early (we got there at 6.30p and the reservation was still at 7p, so we hung out at the bar where the kids had appetizers and well, I had a drink ;D)

Filet mignon spring rolls

The DKs loooved this. Said it was really good. They devoured in in less then 5 minutes. So I guess it was good 😀 My Frangelico on the rocks cost $9 *shock* and the appetizers cost $10. Shikes. Shouldn’t have ordered drinks hahaha *cheapskate!*
When we were ushered into our private room, we all knew what to order already.
The award- winning slow- roasted prime rib. Almost everyone had the House cut (12 oz). I felt like a wus. I ordered the Standard cut 10 oz (I should’ve ordered the 12!!!!)
My DB’s plate, with baked potato (which he said was wonderful)
And THIS was my plate!
Medium rare! 🙂 With garlic mashed potatoes.
Even all the kids had kid-sized portions of Prime Rib. I love that this restaurant even had a kids meal with Prime Rib! 😀
Now the verdict: The Prime Rib was really fantastic– melt-in-your-mouth goooooooood!! (I want some moooooore!!!!!!) It was worth the travel time to eat here.
I just have to type this out– I was unhappy with having gotten a 10 oz (because I knew I could finish a 12 oz! hehehe yessss, big appetite), so I ordered dessert too.
Apple pie a la mode! 🙂 *Needed my fill of apple pie. It’s Christmas Eve!! If there’s no lechon around, I’m still pigging out :D*
(It wasn’t as good as SugarHouse’s apple pie hehehehe, but it did its job– get me full :D)
My brother had mud pie. DH had mud pie as well and they were both shocked with their individual orders. It was HUGE!
 
It was a fantastic Christmas eve dinner. I was a happy camper (which was probably why I fell asleep after waiting for midnight– I normally sleep later here, but last night, I just konked out. I was thinking cholesterol overload since I cleaned out my plate– even ate the fat hahahaha).
