I took a 4 pound rib roast that I bought around Easter out of the freezer, and forgot to invite anyone over for dinner So I cut it in half, generously salted it, and dropped onto a very hot grill with a probe set for 128 Small russet potatoes par-nuked along side and waited...and waited A couple of 2 pound steaks take a while to cook.

Speaking of Duck Here is my version of something Ling posted about from her trip to meet the in-laws. I had to send my hubby out to his friends for the evening because I started with a small slice of foie gras which smokes the house out so baaaaaad. That was served with a touch of warmed cherry preserves cut with sherry vin. After that I cleaned the pan set it on the simmer burner with a duck breast fat side down. After about 10 min I remembered to score the skin and actually cooked it about 30 min on the fat side pouring the fat into a cup occasionally. once I had recovered from the foie hit I cranked the heat to crisp the fat and flipped it over for a few min. While the duck rested I warmed a scallion pancake and smeared it with Hoisin sauce and just a whisper of the juice from the cherry preserves, fanned the duck and sprinkled with chopped scallions much later I was cutting the rest of the meat for my lunch the next day but ate it all cold at the cutting board tracey

Sure add some demi...just like lots of people add onion soup mix to burgers and meatloaf When I want that grandma drippy oniony burger i add about a T spoon of water and the same of onion soup mix to a pound of meat....perhapse just some beef base or powder with a few drops of water would both moisten and bump up the beefyness. Most of the time I stop at my local scarey little market for some 75/25 when I want a burger tracey
