Dinner was good, but the meat was not up to par.  I cooked it exactly as I’ve done in the past, and it was a bit too chewy – not as tender – and its rare!  Maybe too rare?

I got a nice sear on the meat before it hit a 275 oven for 90 minutes

I baked a whole head of garlic for the buttermilk mashed potatoes - so creamy this way!

So the Hannah’s high school musical did not disappoint.  My mom and I swear that you could put any production in downtown Chicago and not know that these students are from a 15,000 population town 55 miles away from Chicago!  The music, choreography, lighting, sound, costumes, the set – all amazing!  Here is the musical they did tonight:

It was a long show, but we did have time for dessert when we got home! 

Strawberries with Honey Ricotta Cheese and a Sweet Balsamic Reduction

I'll post the recipe tomorrow - its late! My mom loved it, Hannah loved it, Tony hated it - that's okay, Hannah ate Tony's portion too!

I am making my mom my eggs in a bread roll for breakfast tomorrow, and she brought stuff for a fruit salad.  Looking forward to a relaxing morning of reading the Sunday paper, good food and good company.  Hope everyone had a great day and I’ll see you for breakfast!
