    Thanks @cathybird roast turned out well again, this time beef - really very enjoyable. I have a portion for tomorrow and two portions went to MDs and SF..I will wait to hear if they enjoyed...they are yet to have it...but it was good. Please can I have 8/14 not planning on making any spends for the rest of today.
