I'm braising a pot roast for my honey. Bought a big one so son &
grandson can stay for dinner if they wish, otherwise we'll have lots
of leftovers. Served with veggies, making a cold salad of more
veggies and if I light a fire under myself I'll make some sort of low
carb chocolate dessert. I just discovered that chocolate and cardamom
can team up, so that sounds interesting to me.
