I went to Costco today for boneless short ribs* and found they dropped the price on the Lenovo another $50. Now, to add the SSD and migrate data and programs from my old box. Ugggh.

*For $6.99/#, these things are amazing. Salt and pepper, let sit for a few hours, take out 30 mins prior and grill or sear them HOT. Mmm...beefy goodness.

Those sound delicious. Now how do I explain them to my butcher?

They come from the lower part of the chuck. Judging from this diagram, it would be the collier in French: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_of_beef#French_cuts

Here's what they look like (not my image): http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--KfTxD4AYsE/U ... C04110.jpg

Perfect. Thanks. I'll print that and take it to the butcher. Unfortunately, our local artisan butcher closed up shop, but the supermarket has a good guy in-house, and there's always the Argentinian wholesalers at the commercial market...
