Wednesday's Chow - Savory Roast Beef

Yeah, there's only about 2 hours left in Wednesday, but, hey, better late than never.  First, I have to comment on the fact Blogger has changed up its 'new post' page...has anyone else noticed that?  I'm gonna have to learn all this stuff all over again.....wow, there's a big difference between 'normal' and 'large' font size. 

OMG...where's the spellcheck???? Someone please tell me where the friggin' spellcheck went off to?

Okay, sorry, I'm digressing, but really, where's the spellcheck??? 

I need to put up a main course recipe....first, I need to go find one, so hang on a minute......or two......Ah, found one that sounds great for these cold nights we're all having.  Did ya'll see that earlier this week, all the states in the union, but Hawaii had snow? That's 49 out of 50 had snow at the same time.
