Our traditional Christmas dinner is prime rib with Yorkshire pudding
(the DH, who is generally entirely clueless in the kitchen, has become
something of an idiot savant when it comes to Yorkshire pudding - his
puds turn out brilliantly) and we generally order 2 rib roasts from
Gelson's (an upscale SoCal market) b/c they've always delivered top
notch meat and I won't scrimp on a Big Dinner such as this. The DH
either read or heard about Costco's meat, which is supposed to be top
notch, too. He wants to order our roasts from Costco, selecting the
prime 4+ pounders, but not having tried their meat dept. wonder if
anyone can weigh in on the quality of their meat. Their roasts aren't
*that* darned much less, running about $75 per roast, but he'd like to
give it a try. I have reservations about *anything* edible from Costco
that doesn't live in a freezer, as I've seen mice scurrying from
pallet to pallet during *daylight* and shudder to think what surfaces
might be contaminated by the little buggers.

What say you?
