So, I did something I’ve never ever done before.
I bought a Prime Rib to cook. A 3.75 lb., $70 piece of meat. 0-0
We’re celebrating paying off our house, so I can justify it just this once.
Heating the over to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. That’ll be a first, too. Wish me luck!
If I screw this up, I’m “Dead Meat”. 😉

What I’m learning, is that other than identifying with the Nurse, Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Friend, all those labels I’ve allowed to define me for my entire life…other than these, I’m still a 13-year-old girl in a 50-something year old body…I’m a work in progress, a survivor, a tender heart, a tough negotiator, a music appreciator, an experimental cook, a peace-keeper, a book lover, a wine taster, an amateur photographer, a problem solver, a family historian, and so much more.
Conservative Libertarian Bohemian Revolutionary is my ‘tagline’, but those who understand me, understand this means: I loathe labels, and remain un-defined.

BobbieZen Wait! I hope you are keeping the oven at 550° and making a $70 chunk of charcoal. Please tell me your plan is to drop it down to 325 and slow roast it until you get an internal temp of 138-140° then letting ii sit for 20 minutes before you slice it.

It’s a time method. 5 minutes per pound at 500*. So, 19 minutes, then turn the oven OFF, don’t open the door for 2 hours. Brett Lipton

We decided we’ll just keep making the payments, to our savings account, for now. Retirement is on the horizon, and we want to build up the nest-egg for leaner days.
