Oh my.

Since I'm going to be away for a few days, I wanted to check up on the sparkling husband primitive before I left, but I bumped into Mrs. Alfred Packer instead.

Need advice on preparing prime rib.

So, I just have one rib section that's about 2 inches or so thick. Plenty for us to split for dinner tomorrow night.

All the preparations I'm finding are for more bones than that, IOW a roast. I'm assuming I will want to marinate this and sear it in my cast iron skillet, get a nice crust on it and then move it to the oven to slow cook it.

Would that sound correct? Any other advice?

Hmmmm.

One wonders what once-living thing that prime rib came out of.

2. Yeah...

I did some more searching around and I think just a light seasoning will be all.

4. This came out very nice last night.

Beautifully done inside and out and it wasn't difficult at all. Seared in butter and olive oil in the cast iron skillet and then moved it into the oven preheated at 450 for 20 minutes (The oven had been on for about an hour coz I baked sweet potatoes first.) Served it with some shrooms and onions sauteed in butter and deglazed with balsamic vinegar and wine for the sauce.

And this is why I enjoy cooking for my husband. He love prime rib and he said this was the best one he'd ever had.

In addition, he was making all kinds of happy noises while he was eating it.

Yeah, one supposes hippyhubby Wild Bill isn't exactly a genteel diner.

Probably grunts and snorts and chews with his mouth open.

Yeah. Let's hope there isn't an abandoned Fedex truck somewhere out there in the Oklahoma wastes.

Dear DUmmies:

Even thin rib roast is best cooked in the same manner as thicker ones--fat side up, bone side down, salt and pepper only, baste in juices every 30 minutes or so, 325 degrees, 20 minutes per pound, don't go any more than medium rare (140 degrees internal), let it rest for 10-15 minutes under loose foil before cooking.

Jesus, do I have to do EVERYTHING for you ****ing worthless ****tards?  Oh, and DUmmies, make sure you stick your heads in the over for an hour or five to make sure the roast is done first.

Well now, this campfire gave me inspiration for a whole another chapter on "Mrs. Alfred Packer does Christmas."

Look for it later this week.

Ooops, I hit a speed-bump on that new chapter of "Mrs. Alfred Packer does Christmas."

I'm not an aficiando of exotic foods, and really, I don't know.

When one buys Chinese food, there's those little white worm-like things in it.

What are those called?

I dunno; it's in chow mein or chop suey or something; they look like white worms.

I know at times I seem incredibly stupid, but excresence happens.

All I know is what I read, and I've never read a Chinese cookbook.

I'll never forget the first time I saw those white worms, as a little lad.

My revulsion was great.

Unlike the sinophobic Mrs. Alfred Packer, franksolich loves eastern Asians with a passion, but he wouldn't touch their food, no way.

Okay, madam.

My point about there being some, uh, significant gaps in knowledge.

I checked it out, it's vegetable sprouts, not white worms.

The deal is though, probably in your life you've heard the word "sprouts" hundreds, if not thousands, of times.

I know only what I read, and after seeing white worms, I never bothered reading anything about Chinese cookery.

Ever try to cook a one of two bone rib roast bone side down?? It don't work very well.

They look exactly like white worms, and, having never eaten a worm, I think the taste would be similar.

No, worms are squishy and taste like dirt. Bean sprouts taste OK and have a little crunch.........

You have to let the worms live in corn meal for a few days or so first....
