From time to time, people have said I'm a good cook. But I think of it more as finding good recipes. Recipes that don't have super complex ingredients and deliver good flavor. I enjoy the search. For the last few years, we typically will get a bulk order of beef from a friend that raises steers. We are going to eat beef and it's our modest effort to buy local and lessen the impact. When you buy in bulk, you end up with some cuts of beef that can be a bit tougher to turn into something yummy that the family will enjoy. So I'm often searching for new recipes for those cuts and a thick and lean Sirloin Tip Roast can be in that category. We are approaching that bulk purchase time of year again so I'm trying to empty out the freezer and decided I'd pull said roast from the freezer and look up a recipe. It was a rainy weekend so it seemed like a good chance to fill up the house with that classic pot roast aroma. This recipe from Sunday Supp Movement reall
Today I took my son to the downtown YMCA in Appleton for his sunfish swimming lessons.
My wife and I decided to register with this particular YMCA because they have a pool for kids that is heated. They aren't messing around with the heat either.
At first it seemed nice to step into such a warm pool but it didn't take long for my son and I to overheat. He is a 2-year old that loves water and ultimately wanted to leave the pool and go home. As I looked at his beet-red face, I could only conclude that the temperature had gotten to him.
Then finally as we made our way through a standard Wisconsin snow storm to our car, I started to feel a bit light-headed and my rear view mirror indicated my face was beet-red also.
Hopefully the YMCA turns it down a notch on the small pool. I think we'll give it another shot next week but then would have to consider taking our business elsewhere. Everyone there was very nice, my first trip to this YMCA, but the temperature was simply too much.
Just a heads up to my fellow parents out there.
