We made dinner for Carl's team tonight. We made the Mediterranean Beef Rump Roast in the Slow Cooker from http://elegantlyglutenfree.com/mediterranean-beef-rump-roast-in-the-slow-cooker, which was pleasant. We have this a 3, it needs more salt.

We have been cooking something new every day for more than 8 years! denverlifewithcarlandmark.blogspot.comThe Perfect Manhattan from the Cocktail Codex by Day, Fauchald and Kaplan.
