Sunday Dinners Resume

At last, after seven weekend hours of incompetent plumbers (if you need one, let me know so I tell you who NOT to use), somerville kitchen is completely functional, right in time for Sunday dinner.

After the neighbourhood's cats finished their celebration of the new dishwasher, I took over to celebrate the new stove with a basic Sunday dinner.

A beef roast was thrown into the oven with a "convection roast" function. First lesson of convection cooking - cook for less time than required; the roast, while delicious, was more well done than I aimed for.

The stove top was as efficient; potatoes boiled in less than 30 minutes. 

Broccoli was seared in a bit of vegetable oil and sprinkled with lemon, salt and pepper. The gravy was made from the roast sauce and mushrooms mixed in with a gravy powder envelope. 

All in all not bad for the first dinner in the new somerville kitchen, prepared 5 hours after the plumber left.

I just love the new stove...
