I was at Costco a week or two ago, and fell in love with its meat.
Actually, it was a simple 8 pound roast. It looked all meaty, with just enough fat and marbling through and through.
I just had to have a reason to make some.
Today is that day.
Chickadee invited jcbetty over for some dinner. They're obligated (as it our tradition here) to bring a dessert and a bottle of wine. The wine's the tradition.
So, in the roast went to cook at 250 for most of the morning. I just jacked it up to 350 for a few hours (it'll go to 375 when I go to bake the challa).
Oh, yeah. I'm baking my own Challa today. I find it to be a simple, tasty bread that is good to break with new friends. We'll see how it goes.
My heart broke when I learned that our friends are not garlic people, as I was going to roast the garlic before putting it into my mashed potatoes.
It'll be okay, I might break for the store for some shallots or something that would offer a similar, but less intense flavor. Though, I'd be tempted to caramelize the shallots to serve just on top of the potatoes.
Oh, I'll also cook some carrots. I"m thinking I might be up for jullian carrots, but depends on how much time I want to spend cutting.
In all, it should be good to go by this afternoon when they get here.

It was all gorgeousness better than gorgeousness usually is.
And we would have happily eaten roasted garlic and smiled all the while (all things... in moderation.)
We had a great time-- thanks for the cooking and the having us over!
always a pleasure.
