Success!

I ended up running uptown to get the "only" bag of Kingsford charcoal left..just hated paying such a high price but that is the high price you pay being in such a small town.

Anyway, the prime rib turned out really good. I wish I had pulled it off 15 minutes early though as there was one really rare piece that I coveted and my nephew snagged it. The horseradish sauce really tasted good too. Now just have to get the rest of the rock salt out of my oven. Hope I didn't screw up by not dumping it first. Everyone arrived right on time. Oh, yes, could not find my meat thermometer. Hopefully did not leave it in Texas but that is a possibility..hmmm...road trip!!
