Memories:
We laugh when remembering that Brent took off work an entire day in order to prepare this meal for me on Valentine’s Day. Don’t let that discourage you, however. It is a simple and very tasty entrée.
Katie’s Timely Tips:
Investing in a meat thermometer is wise. These are not just for professional chefs. I have several types but my favorite one is digital. The digital portion is magnetic and is kept outside the oven during cooking while the probe, which is connected, remains inserted in the meat. It runs on a small battery which I haven’t had to replace in 20 years.
