Tonight will be char rib eyes, baked potatoes, I only eat the skins, and either salad or the tomato chips recipe I posed this week.  Tomorrow will be ribs in the smoker with no chips, just rub and sauce, and corn on the cob.  When I eat ribs, I don't want anything else so I have room to pig put, lol, so I may cook my corn the next day for lunch.

DH will be home on Monday, so I get two gardening days of him helping with the heavy duties, also he may get going on a raised box for the pole beans, too much gopher/mole activity to plant them in the ground this year, so will have wire on the bottom before filling with soil.

Cool today - only 62 so, good day to have oven on.

Oven version of Stracotto (sort of Italian Pot Roast).  

Husband doing the heavy work of browning the roast and putting the Le Creuset Dutch Oven in the oven.   He is also going to make mashed  potatoes. Roasted carrots and sautéed mushrooms will round out meal.  I have a very nice 2005 Marchesi di Barolo Cannubi Barolo to accompany.

Afternoon tea was Mariages Freres au Thibet and a couple of raspberry chocolate macarons - I stopped at the bakery on my way home from dr. appointment. 

Leftover Stracotto and mashed potatoes when my husband gets home.  I was going to stop at market for more carrots but, too tired so the bakery took priority! 

@hellie jo  What cut of beef steak do you use for your Swiss Steak?  (I loved Swiss steak as a child, I think it cooked quite a long time but, maybe I was just impatient waiting for a favourite!)

@trenet   I use tenderized round steak.Sometimes I use ground round also.I usually make cucumber salad with it also.Your meals always sound so good.

Left overs from yesterday - hot dogs, corn on the cob, macaroni salad, chips and strawberries. Super good - nothing left now! Also had a tad of collards left from a couple days ago - finished that up also.

Hope all had a great day.
