A few notes on tonight’s (yummy dinner): the spicy rosemary rub was too spicy. I’ll use less red pepper flakes next time. I made a change to the green bean recipe as well. I roasted the green beans, then tossed them in the vinaigrette before serving. There was way too much vinaigrette so after I tossed them I just removed them from the vinaigrette with tongs and plated them. But yum, they were really good! I wished I would have made more. Larry raved about the mashed potatoes.
