    Yorkshire Pudding

    That is a British muffin pan and the Yorkshires are sitting in the pan There is room for only four large muffins or four large Yorkshires. I may only get two Yorkies, but they are twice the size of those cooked in North American muffin tins.

    Flyboys, Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley

    Read Flyboys by James Bradley It is well worth the effort. I always considered myself something of a scholar on the second world war but I was ignorant of so many things about the war in the Pacific I couldn't believe it . The book is full of hard facts but with Bradley's unique style of...

    The best beef roast and how to cook it

    I've used a recipe very much like your recipe and it always works. What I was trying to do is emulate the slow cooker using the oven I'm guessing that 260 degrees was a bit too hot.
