Since the reception dinner is not until the next evening, the family has arranged a prime rib dinner at their home for friends and relatives. Talk about warm and delicious hospitality!

The prime rib is tender, flavorful, and my favorite part – that strip of dark meat on the side – is filled with heavenly beef umami. Easily the star of the show.

 

IMG_0062 Sunning even sends over their own staff to carve the roast!

 

Other family favorites from Sunning:

When everyone else has gone home and retired to bed, the night owls stay behind to attend to some sessions.
