This is going to sound very strange, but here goes: I've been learning how to shoot macro photos, and I thought that this roast beef would be a great way to try out that setting.

That was the occasion: getting good at macro!

Alas, no Yorkshire pudding! I've never had it, but I've heard it's amazing with the roast beef.

New potatoes and asparagus rounded out our meal.

Sorry to say, but by the time you arrive, we will have consumed it entirely!

Maybe I'll give you advance notice next time?

It looks mighty luscious, scrumptious.

[Some lovely people in my past of a by-gone era loved to use the word 'scrumptious' descriptive adjective a whole lot. Pennsylvanians mostly. Now I just did.🤭]

Love ya! 💙

On edit: Just noticed a 'scrumptious' up thread! 😉

What an excellent display of your top-quality 'rope-work' with that double-knotted butcher's twine. Nicely done, indeed.

However, I cannot take credit for the twine. The butcher who prepared the roast for me did that work.

And I paid him for it too!

It was indeed juicy and flavorful.

It's not hard to make. Let me know if you'd like the recipe and I'll post it.

Your roast is done perfectly as is your photo.

Getting a good photo isn't easy. I still have much to learn.
