Standing

Standing rib roasts are normally really expensive, but this one was on sale! For those Chastons who don't want turkey on Thanksgiving we usually have ham as well. But this year we changed it up a bit with the standing rib roast!

Here it is ready to put in the oven. It was a crispy, tasty roast when we prepared it the day after Thanksgiving...since we didn't have time on Thanksgiving!

The rub gave the roast that extra punch!

Since this roast "stands," I thought of "Buster's Last Stand" performed by Gil Evans. Check it out!
