bench is a little sad right now too. In my prime after I hurt my knees I could do 310 for 10, but I didn't bench too much then. I'm a bigger fan of dips/weighted dips.

I'm just too fat for those right now!

As long as you stick with it and set realistic goals you will be fine.

Been on a conference call with India for the past hour and the fuckers do not understand our ONE SIMPLE FUCKING QUESTION

I have a tech who is from India and he might be coming over to help me with this wireless thing. Maybe he can help you help them.

I'll pass that up not problem so long as i can keep a routine. I'm at 260 for ~6 now, and that's not having lifted more than 10 times in 2 years.

This time next year I should be pushing about 350 I would guess.

My sales guy from Texas is a PhD from India and he was trying to help, still didn't work.

I'm thinking about doing a whole beef rib for a large "fancy" holiday meal.

[nem 2,019]

I'm not a big fan really. They get pretty warm in the bathroom when I take my shower anyway.

I figured it might be neat to have. Not sure if I am going to get it though.

Well I think I finally got this wireless thing working. 2 laptops and 1 desk top up and running currently. My DSL is keeping up to my surprise.

BGE baby. The only question is do you use high heat to start/brown it or to finish.

Last eyar when the heat went out at my old apt, the guy came and confronted me and my room mate if we kept out towels on the radiators. When we replied no, he went on to tell us we should just because people pay money for them. Kind of funny situation.

WHen you get a whole rib like that, is the cut the "prime rib" but it just has the bones left on it?

good call on the BGE. That was my first thought, but wanted to make sure a roasting or braising wasn't better suited.

Only a Prime Rib if the meat is Prime. Otherwise it would be a Choice Rib which no one would ever say, they'd still call it a Bone in Prime, but would be wrong.

Braising would be a bad idea IMO. That cut shouldn't be cooked beyond mid-rare and doesn't need the extra fat/liquid of a braise.

Two schools of thought. Hot first and then cold cook (250ish) or low slow followed by sear. You could also sear in a pan first if you prefer or need to make a pan sauce.

If you BGE it I would put a drip tray under the meat and make sure there is water in it so the drippings don't burn. Then you can make a sauce later. Normally I roast a mirepoix in the pan or racked above the liquid at the same time to make the au jus better at the end.

Cold without snow is SUPER bad.

Agreed. I heard this winter is suppose to be pretty mild. Lets hope so, last winter was beyond Fucking Cold.

I like to warm places in the winter like Grand Cayman. Don't mind the snow not a fan of cold and you guys have to deal with more than me here in PA.

PERFECT!

thanks for the tip. I never would have thought to put a pan under with mirepoix. WOuld strain after, process fine, or just leave it?
