mmmm....tonite dinner's done and i barely walked in the door. the roads are clear of ice for the first time since last week (thanks to my husband) and all i have to do is walk in and grab a glass of vino. but i wouldnt want such an easy time with dinner every nite. i really like chopping, dicing, mincing, etc... pulling dinner together. its very satisfying. i love feeding people. i want to see them gobble it up and ask for more. it makes me happy. very fulfilling...feeding people.
the other nite justy grilled steak and i made a spinache salad with yellow bell pepper and radishes. i get so hungry for fresh, raw, vegatables and steak. it is one of the best meal combinations ever.
tonite we are enjoying roast, gravy made from the juice of the roast, and left over smashed potatoes.
the EASIEST way and TASTIEST way to cook a roast is this:
*place frozen 4-5 pound roast in le creuset cookware
*cover with tin foil
*place in oven at 280 for 7 hours
*drain juice
*add 1 tsp beef boullion and 2 cups water
*when it boils add premixed flour solution while whisking. add small amounts until gravy is to the consistency you like
**flour solution: 3 tbsp flour in 1/2 cup water. i use a small jar. i put the lid on it and shake, shake, shake. add to liquid to thicken gravy.
my husband just got the fire going. dinners done. wine is good. moon is full. dog is sleeping on beautiful wool kitchen rug (rats!). kids are healthy (and happy) life is good. and just keeps gettin' better...bon appetite!
