As 'leftovers', the beast might've been recoverable, but on its own, no
way! The roast was past the well-done point, and that's way overdone in
my book (I like beef when it says "moo!!!)! I'm sure the hostess (a
family member who'll remain unnamed) was very disappointed. This is
just an example why I emphasize use of timers*, in addition with a
temperature gauge when needed! I imagine the leftover beast will be fed
to the dogs - lucky canines!

Sky, who's not the perfect cook either
