mrobisr mine is under 2 feet of snow right now, so yes, i’m jealous. store bought is ok, but hard to beat fresh

[mrobisr]

kyle you are right the fresh is so good we eat a lot of it right after cutting it. That is why I said hopefully because last Feb’s artic blast pushed mine back a couple of weeks and my experience says we will have another instance this year.

kyle When I was young I used to go with my dad and cut asparagus right out of the ditch on a back road. Can’t remember where it was but I remember him telling me not to tell anyone where we got it.

[cdavis]

bocephus I would love to find a spot like that.

[wdaly]

kyle I’m with you. Don’t plan on any fresh asparagus for 6 months, them about founder on it!

[kyle]

bocephus my uncle was like that with his morel mushrooms. He died with the secret. Kinda too bad

It was a nice and quiet New Year’s Eve that started out with a pound of raw Jumbo Shrimp that were prepared in shrimp stock and then served cold (as shrimp cocktail) [before I could get a pic, they were gone in mid afternoon]. Then, onto the 5 lb prime cut ribeye roast I obtained from a local butcher I frequent when in a northern Atlanta suburb. Seasoned it with Excalibur steak and roast rub. Then, reverse seared it to 129 in the oven at 225 degrees. Seared it in a CI pan. Yep, it was a good and quiet dinner. [BTW: I will be purchasing more of the Excalibur Steak and Roast rub and the Garlic/Butter seasoning used for the fresh broccoli. As both were secretly stolen from me. ]

Dr_Pain it is great to here from you I don’t no what was wrong but it didn’t sound like fun I would like to thank your wife and chef for posting your adress so I could send you a card I really missed not seeing your post and the food you cooked I am very thankful to callthis community friends it is better than just a group thanks for coming back

I appreciate you man! Since I have a lot of interest, I will more than likely post the “saga” of what happened to me. The title of the novela will be “When routine becomes not so routine”

zbigjeff Shrimp are gone at my home in the same way that you described. That Prime Rib looks super delicious. Did you make a “jus” for it?? I am wondering how the Excalibur seasoning faired in the au jus!?

[gus4416]

zbigjeff That pitcure makes me hungry again and I just had lunch great job

[cdavis]

zbigjeff mercy that looks terrific

[bocephus]

kyle I have a brother in law that hunts mushrooms, he has found chicken of the woods and hen of the woods, they are both very good.

[wdaly]

zbigjeff That’s one fine looking prime rib. And cooked to the perfect doneness for my preference.

[PapaSop]

zbigjeff
Perfection!

[lkrfletcher]

zbigjeff - WOW!

[zbigjeff]

Dr_Pain Made the “jus” with a combo of beef broth and the drippings from the rendered roast which included the Excalibur seasoning. She said that the “jus” was the best out of the last 5-7 for sure. The stealing of my seasonings was a testament to how good they were.

zbigjeff very nice. I buy the big bottles of steak and roast rub and butter garlic. They are both so good, we go through a lot
