My husband M said he saw this senior lady on the subway the other day, over 60 years old. She had her Samsung Galaxy smart phone in hand, dug out her tablet, attached her earphones, got some biscuits out and started playing a movie. Before long she was smiling and enjoying herself, and people thought it was so cute! Good for her!
I made a beef outside round roast recently using a recipe for roasting less tender cuts. I just season the meat with my favourite spices (onion, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, ketchup, worcestershire sauce) then I add beef or chicken stock to a depth of about 1" and roast at 325F for 1.5 to 2 hours. I don't even bother with browning the meat first and I add my seasonings right into the baking pan lined with parchment paper. It was delicious with some mushroom gravy made from a pack of mushrooms and the drippings. Less tender cuts of beef tend to be leaner, and healthier.

That's a lot of electricity, though! Is your electric bill high?
Looks good! That elderly lady was 60? OMG, now you've done, I feel ANCIENT! (Well, I am!) Valerie
I'd be afraid of someone stealing my tablet on the subway! lol. I'm 50 so 60 is looking less senior... That's a good idea with the cheaper cuts. Have a good day!
Gigi, we pay 11.8 to 6.3c/kwh in Ontario. That compares to 32.6c/kwh in say, Honolulu. Interesting and eye opening question, I'd understand why you would think twice about roasting for so long!
apologies Valerie, the other night M and I were commenting on this 'older' couple we saw somewhere and then we realized we were probably older than them!
Lois, I'll be 54 this year, so I certainly know what you mean regarding age perception!
You made me hungry Christine, I need to get more savvy in the high tech world, I'm 56 and I feel I know less than some 80 year olds,
No need to apologize, I always took about elderly people, and forget I've already crossed the line. I'm afraid I have grown old but not yet grown up! hugs, Valerie
looks great
thid look delicious!!
Oh gracious! I'm probably just like that senior lady.
Food look so delicious Christine:) The lady on the subway is really into high tech stuffs..wink:)
I was thnking the same thing, Kay! Except I take exception with that term, senior!
I roast items for long time too. Our home is very small and we doing't use a lot of electricity. We have friends who have installed solar panels because of $300-$400 electricity bills. Fortunately, our bills are usually only about $100.
