[NJCher]

Russian salad: Three kinds of seafood: halibut, tuna, and cod. Also potatoes, eggs, carrots, pickles, onions, peas (picked just this morning!), light mayonnaise-based dressing.

On the side are garlic toasts and parmesan crisps.

Dessert: we're splitting an espresso coffee bar and a macaroon cookie.

4. Chuck Roast With Lemon And Honey

Flour and brown meat. De-glaze with a little wine and broth, but do it sparingly, and saute a large onion, thinly sliced. Put onions and meat into a pan that can go into the oven, with onions ringing meat. Juice two lemons, add some lemon zest and several grated cloves of garlic. Pour/spread over meat. Over this drizzle honey, enough to thinly cover the meat. Salt and pepper. Bake a long time covered at a low heat. It has been in since about two-thirty at 275, don't expect it out before seven-thirty. There will be asparagus and mashed potatoes, the latter topped with some of the juice from the roast and onions.


Small correction --- checked just now, a bit after six. It is done. Starting on potatoes and asparagus.

10. My Thanks To Those Who Liked This

The recipe has evolved from something a little simpler in a wonderful old item, 'The Poor Poet's Cookbook', which I acquired with my first real apartment from a hipster book store on Wells St. I expect it could still be had, and is worth a look --- there is a lot of good advice, and of nice cheap things to cook that came out well.

A bunch of food.

Life is good y'all

7. Cheeseburgers

My son is staying with us for a couple of weeks and he got to choose tonight's menu. Who could think a 24-year old would want a grilled cheeseburger?

The Landlady(!) made her special sweet potato fries and I put together a green salad from the greenhouse.

IPAs all around.
