While I always go home for Thanksgiving, I stay in NYC for Christmas,
and it has become a tradition that I attempt an ambitious meal for any
Xmas orphans I can lure in. This year I went for a crown roast of pork
which weighed in at 10 pounds.

I rarely cook large meat cuts and I still don’t have the hang of it.
Last year I undercooked. This year I went a little over, but I think I
know my misstep. If I do meat again next year, I’m going to nail it. Fortunately all the sides and the Crab Louie salad came out well.

I will say that it sure looked great and a good time was had by all.
