Last night: Steamed pork and shrimp dumplings, mu shu chicken and nasturtium salad with strawberry vinaigrette and fresh strawberries pieces. The beverage was sparkling apple cider (non-alcoholic of course). Y'all need to invest in a bamboo steamer. They are amazing.
Tonight will be pot roast with fingerling potatoes, baby carrots, pearl onions, whole clove garlic, and celery. The pot roast will be embedded with garlic and onion chips and then seared in olive oil on all sides. Then I will salt and pepper the roast and place in oven for two hours on 375. After two hours I will add vegetables and place thermometer in roast. usually 1 to 2 hours later the roast will reach the desired temperature in the center and will be removed, sliced and devoured (hopefully in that order). I anticipate at least 10 people tonight. They always smell the food and come running.
