I NEED TWO OVENS! This annual complaint has echoed through my kitchen the last 6 years, since my immediate family tripled in size. John came with 4 children, boyfriends and girlfriends turned into spouses, and one has produced a grandchild to add to our happy jumble.
Protein lovers all, I never can find a roast or ham large enough to feed the tribe, so wind up with a ham and a roast, thus also satisfying varying family meat preferences. This year, it’s a Kansas City Meat Company Hickory Smoked Ham and a Standing Rib Roast. All good, except they both don’t fit in the oven side by side, or cook at the same temperature if they did.
Wish me Luck getting the ham heated & glazed, the Roast Roasted, and asparagus popped in on a baking tray & crisped, the rolls baked and served piping hot…all at the same time!
Next year In ‘n Out? I wonder if they deliver…
