looks great Matt , and nice to be able to fix up what your butcher gave you.
Nice job on the trussing. Had to do that a few times when my knife skills
were not up to par

Good looking roast

David

Thanks David. Yeah, the butcher has always been very reliable but I'm guessing during the holiday rush things got a bit hectic and they missed cutting the bones. At least it wasn't difficult to remove them myself. Seeing how much weight I removed will order the next one sans bones.

As a strange sidebar...nice knife! My SIL sliced a rib roast Christmas day with a serrated bread knife. I almost died watching the atrocity unfold! My wife gets on me about giving advice, so I just watched in horror. I dont know about him...he think he knows everything, but knows nothing.

Appreciate you checking in David. Ooo! I know that type of person, can't tell them anything and usually they do some really dumb stuff. Slicing up a prime rib with a bread knife, it think that's illegal in this state!
