I took some heavy whipping cream and beat it on medium in a bowl for about a minute. When it started to set, I added some table salt and two heaping tablespoons of prepared horseradish. The result was fantastic.
I cooked the prime rib to 150F, and there were spots of pink, but it still looked like it was done (Mrs. wuap won't eat pink meat ). All the other dishes came together nicely, and the couple loved the food. He especially got almost excited about how good it was, and it tasted pretty damned good. I can't afford to drop $50 on meat for a meal all the time, but if you think about it, it's not too expensive because. Four people each had a thick slice, I sent them home with a slice each, and I still had two slices left. One slice is a meal, so 50/8 = $6.25 per person, which isn't bad at all. Next time I'll keep the bones, drippings, and fat and make prime rib stock, which I've learned is absolutely fabulous for a red wine/onion soup."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well.

Also, they sell both "ribeye roast" and "bone-in prime rib roast". Isn't that essentially the same thing, with and without the bone? Anyone have preferences one way or the other?

I had a first today buying gas at Maverick. Saw a couple of dude's pull up in a food distribution truck. As I was filling one of them approached me and asked if I'd like to buy some steak. Thinking it was weird I questioned him regarding what it was and why he was selling. He stated they needed some gas. I asked him what I could get for ten bucks. He was willing to give me a couple of rib eyes and a filet. I was curious so I gave him the ten bucks. Sure enough he came back with the meat. Turns out this meat was the Omaha stuff you buy in boxes with several different cuts.
The guy asked me if I would like more so I asked what he meant. He stated for forty bucks he would give me whatever I wanted. I got really suspicious at this point and really started in with the questions. I offered to fill his tank with the amount of money requested. He muttered something about needing petty cash as well as gas. I decided to call him on it, hit the ATM, and went over to his truck. He loaded me up a box full of rib eyes, T-bones, filets, and a few other items.
I noticed he drove away without buying any gas. I noted the number on the side of the truck and called the company. Turns out these guys are independent contractors and are just trying to meet their quota. They aren't supposed to be selling this way and will probably get in trouble. However I got plenty of meat for my money so I'm having no problems.
Interesting that these guys are using the same marketing strategy as the speakermen (google it if you don't know who they are) but applying it to meat sales. I may have got ripped off. I'll find out soon as I'm about to pull one of the rib eyes off the grill.

My mom recently got suckered into this purchased some free range chicken. It looked nice. Independently wrapped in a box. But she overpaid and the chicken was terrible.

As others have stated, the bone-in is my preference as well. I unwrap mine from the store packaging and re-wrap tightly in saran-wrap. I've had no problem keeping it in the fridge for several days, up to a week. I'll probably swing by Costco on Wednesday to pick one up for Sunday. Throw in some roasted brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes and Voila!!! - Christmas dinner."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."

Next question: preferred seasoning. Sounds like a lot of you just go with salt and pepper. Anyone recommend something more exotic?"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
