Day 353- Pancetta Wrapped Beef Roast

Vegetarians, plug your ears and cover your eyes.  If you open your mouth, I just might be able to turn you into a carnivore with this one!  I love me some meat.  I looooooove me some read meat. 

Beef... it's what was for dinner tonight in this household.  What's one way to make meat even better?  Wrap it in even more meat!

A star was born in the kitchen this evening,  He goes by the name "Pancetta Wrapped Beef Roast." 


This tasted better than it looked, I promise.  It produced two happy customers.  We could have had a trifecta if we had let General get his licks in, but he didn't have the oops-I-dropped-something luck on his side tonight.  I think he was happy just smelling it, though.  The garlic... the rosemary... the pancetta!

I think I just might be the envy of the lunch table tomorrow.

Thank you, Pancetta Wrapped Beef Roast, you made my day.

Day 146- Jay Mohr

Jay Mohr + The View= Magic "My son yesterday at his school, it was dress as your favorite rockstar or actor day.  He called me on the phone before I was about to do, uh, this big press tour and, you know, I'm super nervous because you want people to buy your book, and he says 'Daddy, today is dress like your favorite star, your favorite actor,' and I'm like ohh Indiana Jones, Hans Solo.  He goes 'I'm gonna dress like you.'  And I'm like right about to go on camera, and I almost start crying, and I go 'Buddy, how are you- what are you gonna wear to dress like me?' and he goes 'I can't really explain it, but they'll know, like, from my energy.'" Awwww.  Sweet.  "Your child does something all day where you just have no idea what they're doing... like why does he take all his clothes off to poop?  What's wrong with him?!" "I'm done... two words you never want to hear because they're eit...

Day 196- Summery Dinner

Tonight's menu was a good one!  Our weather here has been so nice this week.  We've only been in the mid 80's, and it has actually been cooling down at night.  We have been taking advantage of this by doing some major grilling and enjoying lots of summer foods.  Today's Specials Chipotle Lime Chicken Southwestern Cornbread Salad grilled bananas grilled pineapple We covered all of the food groups in the most delicious and summery of ways (plus, it was pretty healthy too).  If you have never tried grilled bananas, you really should.  They're so good that it's bananas!  Grilled Bananas Recipe 1. Cut off the ends (leaving peel intact). 2. Grill the bananas until the peels turn a darkish brown color and the insides are soft. 3. Gently slice the peel and scoop out the warm gooey goodness. 4. Eat. 5. Sigh with satisfaction. 6. Repeat steps 4-5 many, many times. It's just as easy as that.  The salad was a whole lot more involved, ...
