Hot meat and two veg

That's what they call a fine Sunday lunch in Jolly Old England.  Wow, look at that beef rib roast dinner I made last winter. My mouth is watering at 5:57 AM like a wild carnivore.  I found that photo buried in a list of draft posts for the blog (stuff I never finished, or might be inspired to write about someday then promptly forget.)

Anyway, we got through another smoky, dry, hot week.  It was a tough one around here on several fronts, but things are looking up.  Friday night and we deserve a special dinner. Unfortunately not prime rib, but small sirloin steaks from Costco on the grill.  I know, it's summer, but looking at that picture inspired me to make green beans and Yukon Gold mashed potatoes with a touch of Knorr brown gravy, the only edible instant gravy mix in my humble opinion.

Well, it seems to be constantly raining east of the Mississippi this summer, while the West bakes on in a hot, dry oven.  But I hope you have a nice weekend, wherever you are. See you Monday.
