Wow! So many suggestions! Thanks.

I am liking that carrot soup to start.
I found a recipe for a horseradish and rosemary crusted prime rib that I want to do (I'll just have to cook one piece a little longer for my mother).

Sides are tough. I'm thinking maybe an Israeli couscous salad kind if as suggested that I can make ahead of time. But I need a green veggie too. Preferably something that I can cook on the stove because the oven will be occupied with the meat.

Both mine and my husband's folks will fudge the rule on eating dairy after meat, and I could probably get away with serving a dairy desert if we went into the living room and had a glass of wine for a little bit in between, but it is probably best to avoid it. Maybe a simple angel food cake? Easy to make ahead and can sit on a nice cake stand on display.

without the artist statement, i would have read this as a feminist comment about a woman's place in the kitchen - wooden spoon as noose around the neck. I like her intention better, but it is interesting how the same thing can be read so differently.
