Is this roast beef, Matt? I think it might be a little sweet. If it's chicken or pork though, go for it.

Yep, a 3lb. roast top sirloin. I'm also cooking with my dad's sweet tooth in mind, so somewhat sweet is good. I just don't want it to taste like a dessert.

I wouldn't do the plumbs. I don't have enough experience with coriander to say, either way.

I think I meant plums, but I don't know how to back space on this Blackberry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know what you mean. What's not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Gooood.

Can you incorporate the sweetness into a pan sauce made with the beef jus after the roast is done? That way you could hydrate dates or apricots or other dried fruit and add that in somehow? Get that Moroccan thing going that way, if you're reluctant to braise or cover...?

I'm just not feeling the plum. But that could just be my own instincts.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Matt: I think if you want that plum flavor you should start with prunes. They'll absorb the liquid and puff up and get juicy while the plums will shrivel up.

Jesse: I would go for natural sugar: an apple or an orange just before you leave for the event.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

since plum and dried prunes are the same thing - I am gussing the plums would be good. if you are cutting them in half - and not roasting the roast very high half anhour should be good. I don't think of plums as super sweet - and I am guessing that this would be a good use for the less than perfectly ripe plum. and I would limit the amount olives, unless u you are useing the very dull canned olives. - they can be overpowering.

I also vote no plums. If you're going to add olives, I'd also add lemon zest and raisins, and nix the feta.

Yeah, that'd work.

I think the feta sounds great but I would add it in the last five minutes.
