I just don't want it to taste like a dessert.I don't know what you mean. What's not to like? Custard? Good. Jam? Good. Meat? Gooood.
Don't I get a cookie?

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My coworker (who can see my sleepy face) told me not to go to the thing tonight, and I always do what she says.

DCistas, have there been significant weather-caused mail problems out of your area? I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day looking for something plaintiffs filed, and they are saying that they transmitted it to a place that was supposed to mail it out of DC on the 20th. It hasn't gotten to here, North Carolina, West Virginia or Louisiana neither. Since Tuesday. And I always think that plaintiffs lie. So what's the truth?

What is even happening?
I think Matt did the olives and feta last week, and thought it came out well.
