Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
I wanted to extend a Merry Christmas to everyone today. For me the only thing bigger than Christmas is some one's birthday, but Christmas is my favorite holiday by far. It is almost enough to make me like winter just a little.
Our tradition here is to open all the presents between the wife and I on Christmas Eve after a Chinese food dinner and so it is again this year. We will have company on Christmas day and I have a nice 7 pound Prime Rib Roast going on the Big Steel Keg tomorrow. I will try and grab a few pictures.
I wanted to say thanks to all the great readers, visitors, and friends that stop by and make this site so much fun. Readers like Watchtower are one in a million and Gawains always can surprise you with his literary talents. I do plan on getting back into things in the New Years so we can all try and make a few bucks.
Merry Christmas again and thanks everyone.
Have a Great Christmas Weekend!

Prime Rib Sunday
Running a little late due to the evening game, but I had to get this post up!
New England Patriots at 6-1
I have no idea who switched football teams with the New England Patriots of the last year and a half, but this team is winning games by doing all kinds of things! Another impressive wins versus a Vikings team that played their best game of the season is almost unreal. Great job guys!
Prime Rib Sunday
I have had a stomach bug since we returned from vacation and I have had no appetite at all. After having maybe one sandwich on Saturday and a full 7 hour yard work tour I felt I needed something to get me hungry. What about a prime rib? why not indeed?
The butcher at the supermarket cut me a fresh 5 pounder and it looked very nice:

No special treatment for something like this, just salt, pepper, and some rosemary to coat. Brush on some olive oil and you are good to go.
I set up the Big Steel Keg for indirect heat. I added some potatoes on the top grate as a side, but who cares about the side, it's PRIME RIB! Here it is after an hour at 350 degrees:

I lowered the temp down to 300 after the first hour and cooked at 300 for another 2 hours. When the internal temp right in the middle was measured at 125 degrees I pulled the roast and placed in a pan with tight foil wrapping for 30 minutes. This allows the meat to continue to cook to a target of 135 degrees or so. The ends will be medium while the middle will be medium rare. I like medium rare, but the ladies of the house like solid medium. If you do this right you can have some for every taste. Here is the roast after the foil step:

NICE!!!!!!!!!!
Here is about the third slice in:

Ready to eat!
I had a thick slice from the middle and it was really great. Just what I needed to get back to feeling a bit better. Prime rib sandwiches for lunch? Indeed.
Have a good night.

Quick Hits
There was a driving rain storm for the ride home tonight and thus I have zero time to make a post. You know I think I could develope as a writer if I did not have to work for a living! There are a few points I really wanted to get into, so I am a bit perturbed. With another day to think about things maybe I can have some coherent thoughts up tomorrow.
Seeking Alpha Opportunity
Perhaps some of the readers here have seen the site Seeking Alpha. The site is a huge collection of news and opinion from all facets of the web: Newspapers, analyst reports, and of course blogs. Someone from the site got in contact with me and showed interest in my writings as possible inclusion on the site. There is no cost to me and all I have to do is return a form and meet their requirements for disclosure. So up front I must say I OWN SHARES IN Goldcorp (GG) and Kinross Gold (KGC).
I will complete the paper work soon and I hope some article of mine makes it on the site. I am sure if one does I will break the top 100 of economic blogs, so lets hope!
FED to Issue Own Debt?
This is a huge story and one I need some more background on. If you have some good insight or articles that are good leave them in the comments section!
I am at a loss to understand what this means exactly. I am sure the FED has no authority to issue debt, but when has the rules ever stopped the FED from anything? With that disregarded, how does the FED pay off this debt? Is it linked to the Treasury? Why not just use the Treasury? There are so many questions. A Wall Street Journal report can be found here.
I think that this move demands better scrutiny than the TARP or auto bailouts. What is the FED doing with this?
Auto Dog and Pony Show
There is some talk this evening about some republicans opposing the auto bailout bill. I imagine it is the same bunch that complained about the TARP, waited for more pork to be added, and then went along with it anyway. Expect the same rollover on this one. Spineless and weak, there is now no opposition party to protect the US taxpayer. It is a free for all unless you are a taxpayer. Sorry.
Prime Rib Information
I want to make a prime rib for the Christmas dinner this year. I would ask the readers to help me out with online places to get one (any suggestions) as well a preparation tips. I have a terrible feeling this is going to go bad. I think McDonald's is open the day after Christmas, so I do have a backup plan.
Have a good night.
