December 2018 ..... What's Cooking?

bethk wrote:Imelda, no matter which beef roast you make for your holiday dinner, I'm sure it will be delicious.  I know Dirk and his parents love having you cook for them.  

If you buy it today, I would put it into the freezer ~ but I'm always crazy around the holidays and feeding a bunch of people.  I don't want to take the chance that my expensive meat purchase might be 'old' tasting.  I'd rather have it in the freezer and let it thaw for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator than take the chance it's old when I bought it and it gets bad before I cook it.  

But that's just my opinion ~ I'm sure others will disagree with me and that's OK.  Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.





(even if it's the WRONG one ~~~  Hahahahaahahaaaaa! That was a joke!  Just a joke!!)

We have Safeway's, it's the same company with Von's or Albertson's, it's $5.77 for Choice Ribeye roast and $4.77 for New York roast, I'm thinking to get it later today

Freeze it for a week or just wait until the latest you can before buying it. I bought one and threw it in the freezer for a future meal.

I was there for my appointment, and she was there with me. She felt she was bothering him to ask, but not me;............ I asked! All he did , was pull her name up on the computer, and with one click, the order was at the pharmacy...

Most Dr's need you set up to see them, so they can charge.   ( $90.00 now a visit ).
Even though I pay zero ( 0 ) .

I remember years ago, the Dr would come to the house. $5.00 a visit, but $7.00 if he administered a shot of penicillin. And, he used the same needle. He would ask my mom to boil it for 5 minutes. He would say,"Oh, two minutes is enough!" .....
He gave the shot, and No Bandaid to cover the puncture! .... l o l

I understand, but the point is, if it is a cold, chances are the antibiotic is ineffective, so why give it to her?  All it does is get her body used to having it, and when she has a real bacterial infection, the Z pack may not help any more.

Sounds good to do it like that, but, I would be careful that the meat will cool too much on that long of a ride, and when you sear it at 500 degree oven , It will cook the center which may overcook the roast?? I don't know! I would think about that. Maybe wrap a couple bricks in foil, and heat in the oven to 200 degrees, and put them in a box with the meat to
keep the meat internal temperature warm, but not cool too much when ready to blast sear it!

Since it was so nice I decided it was a great night to have burgers on the grill.  Ended up making some sauteed onions to smother my burger with, sauteed up some zucchini w/onion and boiled some green beans.




Dane & I both noticed as soon as the sun went down the temperatures dropped just as quickly.  Brrrr! Must be in the mid 50's!  (that's COLD for us!)
