And you thought Kevin was a big piece of meat!

My first roast. Practicing for Kevin. Props to Joy of Cooking.

Mince garlic. Rub into ginormous slab of meat. Salt and pepper. Brown each side for a few minutes. Remove from pan. Add onions, cook until brown in roasting pan.
Add super secret special ingredients for the sweet and sour sauce. Scrape off the brown bits from the bottom of pan while cooking.
Put the meat back in and smother it. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 2-3 hours.


Uncover, let cool. Refridgerate for a day, then rewarm for 30 minutes before serving.
I'm excited to make this when Kevin comes for two reasons: 1) it's delicious, 2) I can't eat a 3.5 lb roast by myself -- I've been chipping away at this one for a week and still have more than half of it in my fridge. What? It's the smallest one the grocery store had! And it's what the recipe called for. Actually, the recipe is for brisket, but there was none of that to be found.

Come here and cook for me too.

And me. I just scavenged about a tablespoon of peanuts in the bottom of a can and had 'em for dinner. I think I'm in the most need of a cook.

For course two: I shall now eat this half of a Rhode's wheat roll left over from yesterday.

And for dessert: Hmmm. Here is some uncooked spaghetti I can crunch for awhile. Do me! Cook for me! And by extension, Fred.

P.S. (Is that how you spell Rhode's?)
