I was in H-E-B earlier in the week and a lady on a scooter was looking at what I think were full prime rib roasts.  They were the size of a packer brisket and cylindrical shaped.  She was asking who in their right mind would pay $350 for a piece of meat?  I couldn't get close enough to see it because several folks were standing around her and the place was packed.  Hopefully there will still be some next week and I can see what they were and how much a pound they were.  I thought to myself I could get a baby calf for that much.  At least I could 10 years ago when I had cattle.

If you vacation in Texas, take some big coolers with you to stock up.

Merry Christmas to Everyone.
It has been awhile since I have been on. Health issues have really taken there toll this year.
I pray I may see another Christmas with none of the problems. LOL

I won't disclose the price of our Roast Beef this year as it is Prime Angus Beef from a Butcher that we trust. 18lbs, 8 ribs, large end. We have about 14 people to feed this year. It is unreal. This is the most exquisite roast I have ever cooked in all of my years.
I will get pictures soon, it is now resting in FTC (start of FTC was 118*)  this should allow a good section of very rare for the many that like it that way, I estimate final temp in the middle area to be around 130*, all while the rest of the meal is finished up preparing.

While at Walmart this morning I was browsing the meat section for reduced prices.  The choice angus prime rib roast were reduced from $11.97 to $5.38 a pound.  I got three of them.  They averaged about 6 pounds each which is perfect for my wife and myself.

Wife doesn't let me go grocery shopping with her anymore for just that reason.
If it's on sale I would buy it.  Freezer is jam packed now, but I'd find room.

I may have to stop shopping myself.  I have a chest and an upright freezer full plus the freezer section of two refrigerator/freezer.

Some great deals!

I had started clearing out the freezers which was good timing.  I just vac sealed the leftovers from Christmas day.  I also have over 12 dozen bags of 12 pierogies.  Most of them will get made tomorrow for a beer drinking day with my buddies.  Quite a few different flavors which I never had including roast beef, hot sausage, potato and bacon, garlic parmesan potato, etc.

I have come to embrace High Quality ground beef, so I would have no problem grinding those roasts, even at $5+/lb.  Just to many dishes I like that call for GB and why not have quality flavor!

I've started grinding brisket for burgers, chili, etc.

EDIT:  Actually started grinding my own back when the revelation of pink slime in ground beef was made public.
         Didn't use brisket then though...

My wife has invited a group over for heavy horderves next week and I plan on including chili made with bite size pieces of seared rib meat and smoked pork butt using Real Texas chili seasoning mix (with little or no beans).
