This year, I vowed not to dine on lobster. Not that
I mind the expense so much, it's just that it seems
like such an easy way out every time there is something
to celebrate.
Instead, I'm opting for red meat! This particular recipe
comes from my mother, who has mastered it and also simplified
it, as is her nature.
Enjoy.
