Draining the 3 boxes of chopped spinach nets you a hunk roughly the size of a baseball. You have to have a good bit of upper-body strength to do that!
Okay....here it is. Eight eggs, 2/3 a jar of Ragu alfredo sauce, the BACON!, spinach, onion & mushroom, and a full container of Italian grated cheeses:
I tried to toast the eggroll wrappers in a greased pan, and it looked descent....but opted to go with a smaller, bare baking tin:
Baked it in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes....till a toothpick pulls out clean:
Looks like this:
Gonna chill it overnight....then re-heat tomorrow with more grated cheese and mushrooms on the top!

BACON!
I kept eating big spoonfulls out of the pan!
On deck for today:
Sirloin tip roast, yorkshire pudding, and gravy.
Sirloin tip roast, yorkshire pudding, and gravy.
The Yorkshire pudding batter has to rest for 3-4 hours to really be good...so here's the prep:
This, my friends....is what sparked my love for cooking. It's my folder of recipes. Some are from my grandmothers....some are from my Dad.....some are ones that I designed all on my own. There's 80 some years (three generations) of original creations in there....as well as some brand new things I thought sounded awesome......
....and this is as close as you'll EVER get to it.
Measure out the flour and add a half-teaspoon of salt:
Let's sift that flour:
Four eggs and some fresh cracked pepper:
....whipped till nice and frothy:
Make a well in the sifted flour:
....add the eggs
...and the milk...and incorporate JUST till the big lumps go away:
Gonna let this rest till right before dinnertime.....
to be continued!

GIMMIE DAT BREAKFAST!!!!!!
That looks like.........like...........like.......like I'm gonna steal your recipe!!!
WIN!!!!
On with the show.....
Some piccys from the gravy construct and the start of the roast....
This 5 pounds of beefy goodness has been hermetically sealed in this bag under the Dali Llama's laptop since Monday afternoon:
Gonna rinse it off with a full can of the best damn beer on the planet.....
....or a Keystone Light:
I'm taking the beer-wash and the strained marinade and adding it to the pre-made gravy in the jars......plus some onion and mushrooms:
Ends up looking like THIS!!!
Gonna dry this mug and bring it to room temp:
Then, coat in in some peanut oil....
Elevate it on a rack, a bit more seasoning....
....and into a 500 degree oven it goes for 20 minutes. Then, I'll rebaste, and crank the heat back to 200 degrees till I get an internal reading of 125-130......
At which point, I'll wrap this bad boy up and take it on over to Rettas!!!
More pics to follow!!!!

Sliced up the beef...it was perfectly cooked...and quite tender concidering the cut:
