Today is Chimborazo Day, which evidently celebrates a mountain, actually a stratovolcano, in Ecuador. This particular spot is the highest point on earth. And speaking of high points, I went to dinner with a friend this evening and we had prime rib. We went to the Factory which evidently specializes in prime rib. Given a choice, I usually order a petite filet and he always has prime rib. Just for once I decided to have the prime rib. It always looks good on his plate. So I tried it, and let me tell you, it did taste pretty good. However, I've decided the taste isn't worth the effort. With a filet I just slice off tender, easy to cut pieces and eat them, and yes I do use the US technique of switching my fork back to my right hand. But I digress. Presented with a huge slab of prime rib, swimming in juice, which can splash if you're not careful, I diligently started to cut off a bite size piece. The meat was pretty tender but cutting through all the fat and gristle to get to it was a challenge. I persevered and eventually ate all of the edible bites. I estimate my piece of actual meat was about the size of a filet, just not as tender. Guess what I'll be ordering next time? The onion rings were good though.
