A nod to Mindy's pork roast idea. But we like to pour a bottle of beer all over a roast, salt and pepper it first, and slow roast it in the oven. Usuallly it's thawed, not frozen, when we start. Or partially thawed. Happy Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Basset!

Don't know if this is also true for dogs. Maybe it is if Spriggy's ears keep getting bigger. How about a pork roast to go with Dorothy's green beans? I like to take a frozen boneless pork roast, two to four pounds, salt and pepper it, wrap it tightly in foil, and put it in a baking dish. Slip it into a 300 oven and let it roast all day. If you want it in four or five hours, bump up the heat to 350. Unwrap it an hour before dinner and put it back into the oven to brown. Mmmmm, tender and tasty. And easy.

It's a green bean dish and mighty tasty. Let me see if I can recite the recipe: Fill a veggie bag in the produce department with fresh green beans. Also buy garlic, a piece of ginger, and some shallots in the produce department. Clean and snap the beans, removing the ends. Put olive oil and a wee pat of margarine or butter in a large frying pan. Cut up several cloves of garlic (you decide how much), slice the ginger VERY thin, (shave it like they do the garlic in "Goodfellas") and cut up the shallots after skinning them. Add these 3 items to the frying pan after you've warmed the olive oil and melted the butter. After the garlic, ginger and shallots cook a few minutes, add the green beans. Pepper them well, and a dash or two of salt won't hurt. Saute well until beans are cooked but still a little crisp. This is not a complicated dish and always tastes perfect with just about every meal. Smells damn fine when it's cooking, too. I can suggest one dish that is my husband’s specialty.
