It is darned cold here, with a cutting wind. Only one comfort food for
weather like that, I thought, and fixed my beef stew comfort food. Roll on,
real Spring.

I wish I could have a nice hearty beef stew right now. It's been unusually
cold here in AZ, and that would really taste good. I know if I made some I
would eat far too much for my WW allowance. :-(

Stew sounds good!

It was pretty cool here in the northern Houston 'burbs--high of only 60
(record low temps this week!). Good soup weather, so dinner tonight was
chicken corn soup with extra rivels.

Dinner in my house tonight will be your 9 hour oven roast of beef. I
didn't have heavy duty foil, so three layers of regular was used. I
hope it won't leak through. I would like to do oven baked potatoes to
go with it, but how much time would they need at 225 deg.???

I've never done them in the oven at 225 degrees, but when I do baked
potatoes in a smoker at the same temperature, they take 3 to 3-/12 hours.
I think that should work.

Oh, with your foil, that should work fine, but make sure the seam side is
up. I always put the foil-wrapped roast in a pan with sides that is just a
bit larger than the roast. I seldom ever have a leak.

Post back...

Well, it was high 30's to 40 yesterday, with freezing temperatures predicted
for last night. Brrr. That's why the stew. Crazy - a week or two back, it
hit the low 80's - Spring flowers poked through, forsythia got forced,
lilacs budded and the birds went nuts. However, reality struck.

I do have it in a pan with sides and it does look like some juices
have dribbled through (a bit). It smells amazing already. I'll try
putting some russets in 3 hours before the roast will be ready. I can
always finish them in the mw, I guess. I wish I had some asparagus, but
it wasn't a good deal last grocery day. I may do some br. sprouts
instead. I'll keep you posted. .....Sharon

A little bit of juices coming out won't hurt. I'm still searching for more
99¢ asparagus. I've probably eaten 10 pounds of it in the last month. :-)
Sprouts sound good. I love them. I'll look for your report.
