Sunday Night Dinner
OMG I can’t begin to tell you how good dinner was. I roasted a little three pound sirloin tip roast. I’ve had prime ribs and tenderloins that were not as tender as this roast. I know, hard to believe, but it’s the truth. The roast was presalted the day before and left to air…

Baked Omelettes
