Roast Beef & Rainy Days

Ok, so it was a rainy weekend and now I'm a little behind my post. I'll be making up a story now and I'd say it is 80% truth and 20% fiction.

I was at Costco last week when I spied a $50 dutch oven, which I have always wanted, and so on semi-impulse (dutch ovens are expensive!) I bought it. Here we can see it below in all its glory~ Yay~

Now not long before that I had bought a roast and decided that I would make my roast in the dutch oven. Salt, pepper and some Italian seasoning got rubbed on it and I brown it up in some butter. Added in my potatoes, onions, celery, Worcestershire sauce and Sam Adam's Holiday Porter and then let the roast go on the stove top -- the rack inside the oven wouldn't allow that much weight, which I didn't really consider. After a few hours it looked a bit like this.

Made some sandwiches with Dubliner Irish cheese and sun-dried tomatoes -- also the broth and vegetables made for a tasty soup with the bread on the side. So peruse those pictures at your own leisure.

Just baked that Kirkland lasagna too. So. If you don't see me in a few weeks it is because I can't get off the couch. Long live food!
