Eye of Round Roast Beef… the easy way

-
     I'll be honest. There were several things that caught my eye about this recipe. The first was that it was so simple.  Turn the oven on... get stuff hot.... turn the oven off... wait for it to cook.  It seemed so easy that I thought I might give it a try.  If it was good, then I'd have something to show for pretty much ZERO work on my part.  If it didn't, then I hadn't spent much trying it (since the meat on this is based on the the eye of round roast.. which is the cheapest cut of meat you can buy).  The reason it's so cheap is because it's so dog gone tough.  When you eat this stuff, it's hard to tell whether you're biting into shoe leather, or if there's actually some piece of meat hidden in there somewhere.  With this recipe... you'll find out that there IS some value to this cut of meat, and you'll look forward to serving it.
     The second thing that caught my eye was that ... The recipe says for the oven to stay closed…with the oven off... for four hours.  That really confused me, since I don't see how meat can cook when the main source of heat is turned off.  Apparently I was wrong.  So... without further adooooo.... go buy you a big piece of Eye of Round roast, and providing you can read... read the instructions below and enjoy the results!

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).  
  2. Let it heat at 500 for about 10 minutes (or at least until the next commercial break).
  3. Season the roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish.
  4. Do not cover or add water.
  5. Place the roast in the preheated oven. 
  6. Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). 
  7. Roast for 21 minutes (seven minutes per pound) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time!
  8. Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer... don't worry about it...as long as you followed directions, you should be ok.
  9. Carve into thin slices to serve to your buddies.
  10. Enjoy!!!

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?

Video Not Available In Your Country Fix

So you just made friends with somebody cool like Paul Bond  . Even though he works for Brix , which is "only" the  4th largest workwear store in Monaghan , he's still got great taste in 'artsy fartsy' stuff. Unfortunately, he's not that bright   aware, when he sends out links sometimes.  Consequently, he sends out links to really cool stuff that YouTube says  'aren't available in your country'. Well, that's simply not true. It is available, and I have no idea why they even want to make you think it isn't. Connectivity is what all this stuff is about.  Or at least that's what I thought when I signed on almost 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the band that doesn't want you to hear their music, unless of course they are Lars Ulrich .  So what do you do? How to get around this? Read on...
