I wish you could smell it in my house!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I thought I’d use my sixteen-hundredth-and-first post to say that I am making a roast beef in a bag, with potatoes, baby carrots, onions and garlic. The other night, we saw Emeril doing a roast. He cut little slots into the roast and stuffed pieces of garlic into them. On both sides. Then he seasoned with salt and cracked pepper on both sides, and roasted it. I’ve done the same. It’s been in the oven for over an hour, and boy, I wish you could smell it here! It is to die. This is gonna be good!

How do you like to prepare your roast beef? What do you have with it?

Where does the bag come into this?

I like to rub with S & P, brown on all sides, dust very lightly with flour and put in a loooow oven for a long time.

Here, in the spices aisle, you can get a sort of “kit” for roast beef. One side is a spice packet, the other contains a plastic bag. You prepare your roast and vegetables, place them inside the bag, add 1/4 cup of water to the spice packet and drizzle it over the contents, seal the bag loosely at the end, poke some ventilation holes in the bag and bake in a Pyrex dish for 90 minutes.

Man, it was good!
