and seals in some of the juice
Myth! Seared meat actually loses more juice than unseared meat. In a pot roast, the main advantage to searing is the browned bits which add flavor to the sauce.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thanks! I forgot to thaw it last night so I didn't sear it this time. It was really really good last time and I didn't so anything else different so hopefully, it'll be just as good.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Okay, clearly the time and place for a foodie question:
I'm thinking of making one of the salads in the cookbook for a party this weekend. Recipe calls for red onions. I'm not a big onion fan (plus, it's a set-dancing party - don't need to be getting into each others faces with mega-oniony breath). What imparts an onion-esque flavor without being so hit-you-over-the-head about it? Shallots? Green onions? Anyone?

Now tagless for your comfort.
SA, I hope some upstanding youth decides to turn in your bag. The thought of losing that much electronic equipment makes me queasy.
Today was a frazzling day. I suspect there are probably more of those in my future. Good thing the weekend is almost here.

ION, I would like a nap. In the alternative, a glass of wine and then a nap.
I like this plan. I think I shall steal it.

Fortunately, it can be duplicated any number of times. Unfortunately, it's not quitting time, yet.

Cash, if it helps at all, it does get easier. It's just the first couple of weeks of solo, double-kid parenting is amplified by sleep dep, I think. I was a zombie for the first three weeks after kid #2 was born and DH went back to work. Then we sorta got a routine down and it smoothed out a bit.
EtA: SA I'm vibing for the safe return of your bag. How rotten to have it taken!

Hi Dawn! How are you and the kids and the boat?

Stoopid work. I actually did the nap thing last night, and now I wish I hadn't, since sleeping from 8 to midnight, then 3-6, then 7:30-8:45 is not the same thing as sleeping for 8 hours.
