Well, I'll have to admit that makes sense. I must be an idiot to have not thought that up myself. Fact is, that I never even considered it.:sad: OK, I'll go crawl back under my rock now.:wacko:

OK, back to the OP here, it doesn't appear to me that you are going to have enough meat to go around! If you really want to serve a good roasted prime rib, you should still have the time to get to the store and buy a nice sized one. And dry roast it in the oven. Don't add anything to it...

I don't see that as being rude or crude. Why in the world would you want to take money and burn it up. That is exactly what you are doing when you overcook meat! Hmmmm, offer them a bowl of popcorn, or a trip to McDonalds. AMEN! to that! There is no way that a person should ruin a meal...

I'm with you 100% on those rancid kitchen smells! I did home pest control for a few years, back in the dark ages. Some of the homes and even entire buildings would be just terrible! I also did many years as an EMT. Obviously there are "less than enjoyable" odors involved with that, but still...

I think what you are talking about is called a pastry cutter. Google it, and look at the picture. It has the curved blades with a nice stout handle. It not only works for cutting pastry into dishes, but works very well for chopping strawberries to make strawberry shortcake, or cutting up boiled...

You think frozen trout is bad? It almost turns my stomach to remember This one... Now I'm an old guy, and my dad has been gone for 32 years. But the year he retired, he didn't quite know what to do with himself. So he went fishing. Actually he was a heck of a good fisherman, and lived in...

You are probably right. It's just something I wanted to do. Didn't get to it though, as something came up.

Being lazy tonight. Papa Murphy's. Closest thing to home made we've ever found!

I've used beef for chilli, and I've used pork for chilli, and I've used a combination of both. I sort of like the combination better. Used to be "macho" and eat it hot, but due to stomachs getting older, try to keep it a bit more mild now. I'm not big on a taste of India, and my even less big...

What I do with salmon, is bake it. I use garlic powder, salt, lemon pepper and dill, then rub it with olive oil. Then put about a half inch of lemon juice in the bottom of the dish, put the salmon in it, stick it in the oven at 350 for approx. 20 minutes. Covering it with foil is an option...

Thanks so much folks. I sort of figured I'd have to do it that way, but was just trying to be a little faster. (lazier?):wacko:

Thanks, CWS! We always try to have a vege with our meals, and I myself love a good salad. My lovely bride, not so much. Potatoes are fried, mashed, boiled, baked. Meat is done depending on what it is and how I feel at the time. Steaks are on a grill, GOOD steaks, (who can afford them now,)...

Howdy, I'm currently the new kid on the block. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but don't seem to see the info I need. If I am posting this in the wrong section, please forgive me, and perhaps staff can move it to the right forum. Anyway, here goes: I have never in my life...

Hello, everyone! As my name indicates, I am just a simple cook. I'm retired, but my wife is still working. Therefore, I do the majority of the cooking at home. I've cooked off and on for many years, from clear back to my bachelor years, (back in the dark ages.) But I'm pretty much a "meat...
