Birthday Feast

So yesterday was the birthday of the best guy in the world (ok, along with Colin ;) ), so a big feast had to be prepared.

I tried a very, very simple recipe that actually worked quite well:

3-4 lb beef shoulder (palette in french)
one package of dried onion soup.

preheat the oven to 250F
sprinkle the dried onion soup over the meat
cover the meat with aluminium and put in the oven for about 5 hours.



A super easy recipe that melts in your mouth; you can bake veggies with that (potatoes, carrots, etc.) and get a great meal, especially when you have guests over. One thing I noticed though: during the cooking, the meat shrinks quite a lot, so be aware when planning the meal.


We finished the feast with Miki's great brownies, which disappeared as quickly as she had predicted. Thank you for this delicious recipe! I used pumpkin seeds, but I think the pecans are actually a better choice.



Tonight, we're having other friends over to celebrate, so stay tuned for more recipes ;)
