Sometimes you just have to "Have a Cow, Man!"


This time of year, with all the wonderful veggies in the garden, we eat very healthy, and mostly veggies. But now and then, a piece of beef is just the right thing that you really just simply have to have! This was the week.

At our local Farmer's Market this past Friday, we were strolling past the meat market, with its beautiful pieces of locally grown beef and pork laid out so appealingly, we spied some cuts of lean chuck roast, just right for us.

Somehow Jim gets the very best out of any beef, so he's our official roast beef cooker guy, and today he slow roasted those cuts for 3 hours with onions, bay leaves, garlic and just a little bit of water, then added a small head of cabbage and some carrots straight from the garden with our own potatoes. Oh, boy. Add some horseradish and a good bottle of Shiraz, and it's all just exactly right!

Sometimes you just gotta "Have a Cow, Man!"
