I made dinner tonight.
I know most of you will think, "So?"
Seriously though, you should really know that this is a major event worthy of boundless celebration as I am quite accomplished at turning average food stuffs into delightful morsels.
I roasted a lovely and tender "grass fed" shoulder roast with the obligatory carrots, onion and celery. I added a bit of salt, paprika, ginger powder (for real, try it), black peppercorn and a dash of pineapple juice. Pineapple juice helps to tenderize the meat and adds subtle sweetness. I also wilted some beautiful spinach, with olive and garlic, that I picked up from the Decatur farmer's market.
But the crowd pleaser is always the roasted potatoes. I roasted them in olive oil and a bit of salt and surrounded them in thick wedges of Vidalia onions. As the potatoes came out of the oven I tossed them with finely chopped oregano and rosemary from my patio.
This was the pulled together, last minute dinner mind you. Don't you just want to live with me?
Tummy happy.
