You people who keep talking about what you're wearing to Prom are causing me to start making my obsessive Packing List.
My packing list so far is all shoes. This is never good.
vw, what's the recipe?
I would be there right now.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It gets rubbed with thyme, garlic, salt and pepper, then laid over a bed of onions in beef broth.

Oh, then you use the juices in individual yorshire puddings and a mushroom sauce.

vw, are you going some place that actually has a butcher? If so, ask him what he suggests. You can get some good roasts in the general sirloin family (sirloin tip, tri-tip, sirloin butt) that are a little less tender and a lot less per pound. Your best friend is a meat thermometer.

What is even happening?

No problem. Where are you going shopping? I'll look up the store and help you find a decent oven roast.
edited to ditto what Ginger said about the meat thermometer.

What's fun to do with a roast is cook it on a rack and collect the juices underneath, then roast the potatoes underneath the meat, in the juices. If you time it right, you can still use the juice to make gravy too. Mmm, gravy.

The Super Stop and Shop on McGrath Highway. I don't trust the local Star Market.
I'm gonna talk to the butcher there, though, and see what he suggests. I'm not gonna actually buy it till Saturday, so... I'm just trying to be prepared in case I need a Plan B.

But, but! Then your roast won't be red and raw and dripping on the inside. Or maybe it's just my family who like to taste the heart still beating.

In that case, vw, you can ask him to cut the size you need and pick it up Saturday.

Definitely -- ever since I moved into a neighborhood with a really good butcher, I haven't bought meat from a supermarket once.

Thermometers are also useful for making sure you don't overcook it. (Though I'm a fan of the poking it with your fingers method, myself.)]
