I have always been a "roast beef" lover way back to when I was a kid. I love a good roast beef/cheese and mayo on rye sandwich though I find lately I am sticking more to turkey maybe because I "think" it is better for me? I am not sure. Today I walked over to the cafeteria to grab something for lunch and as I was standing there on line I overhead someone talking about a roast beef that they cooked on the grill. I have never cooked a roast beef on the grill - only in the oven and I usually like to cut up some fresh garlic and poke holes in the meat and put the garlic in there to cook and yummy it is soooo good.
Anyway the person talking about roast beef on the grill suddenly reminded me about the time that I had an uncooked roast in my fridge so Scott decided that since its days were numbered (the "use by" date was quickly approaching and I really has no plans to cook it in those few days) he decided he was going to try to cook this thing using the rottissieri (sp?) on the grill. I of course thought "yuck" but handed over the roast and told him to grill his heart out :o) Which he did. He was very proud of that roast beef and walked proudly into the kitchen with the barbaqued beef on a wooden cutting board and he placed it on the counter (I guess assuming I would slice it up???) anyway a few seconds after he put this thing down there was a knock at the door and it turned out to be some friend of his from wherever and his girlfriend (who I have never met). He invited these two people in and we all went into the other room where we have a bar and we all stood around chatting and drinking beers. Scott ended up taking his friend out into the garage and I stayed behind with the girlfriend (I can't even remember her name). So we continue talking when all of a sudden Heather comes bursting into the room yelling about how the dog is eating the chicken!!! I stopped to think quickly because I hadn't cooked a chicken so what was she talking about? Plus the dog was safely behind her babygate in the kitchen and she would never pass that gate (I shouldn't reall even call it a gate it was one of those playyard things like a big long gate that you could make into a circle to confine your kids, pets. etc. Well since Brittany was on the big side :o) we would use the gate long ways and pretty much have her confined to one big section of the kitchen (far away from the stove, counter, etc). We normally only blocked her in there when we were going out or if we had people over and we didn't want her bugging people (or when we were eating dinner and she was begging way too much LOL) most times though she wandered throughout the house (and as she got older she was allowed to roam whereever she wanted whenever she wanted - see she finally figured out eventually she was bigger than the gate LOL!) anyway getting back to Heather yelling about the chicken I couldn't imagine what she was talking about until I realized the "chicken" might just be that barbaqued masterpiece roast beef that Scott had just spent all that time grilling to perfection! So me, Heather and this woman went running into the kitchen and low and behold there she is with the entire roast beef in her mouth! OMG it was about the funniest thing I had ever seen. I couldn't even be mad at her because first off it should have never been left where she could get it (even if she was behind the gate that bugger knew there was a nice piece of beef within her reach if she could just figure out how to move that pesky gate - which obviously she did!) When we caught her we surprised her and she quickly picked up her head with the whole piece of meat hanging out LOL! She must have been in heaven! Of course I ended up taking it away from her but I still laugh when I think it. What a buster! She probably thought "this is a dream come true" there she was with that nice juicy yummy piece of meat and there was no one there to stop her from eating the whole thing LOL! Until I walked it and crushed her dream! So really how could I take that meat away from her and not let her enjoy at least a piece - so I took it and sliced up a few pieces for her and put it in her bowl with her dry food and she went to town :o) The rest of the meat went in the garbage. Oh and Scott wasn't mad either he actually thought it was pretty funny that finally after all this time that dopey dog finally figured out she could move the gate LOL!
