A local grocery was selling rib roasts for $5/pound. There was no way to NOT buy one.
No kidding!
We had a yummy lamb shank, here!
Heh! Much as I like prime rib, this Greek boy loves lamb, and that's exactly what my bride cooked for us. It has become our tradition on Christmas Eve. Leg of lamb, and a shank, which is the best meat on the critter.
Asparagus. Some people have too much money. I love the stuff, but only in season. Social Security goes only so far.

I generally only buy asparagus when it's on sale. Christmas makes an exception. (Plus, both she and I are still gainfully employed -- but I will resemble that in just a few years!)
I've been trying to get some growing for a few years, so I can feast on it in the spring and early summer, but the cold winters here are not kind! I suspect I've not been planting the crowns deep enough, so this past spring I started some from seed. I won't see yield for probably 3 years, but life is sometimes a waiting game.
It's funny, I'm part Irish, and they love their lamb, too. But my mother didn't like it, so I didn't have it until my 20's, when a friend had it at a party! Anne loves it and cooks it all the time, so I'm making up for lost time.
Happy New Year!!!
