not done yet... I took the dry ingredients and mixed them together into a rub and placed them into a 1 gallon plastic bag with the meat. I doubled the Italian seasoning mix, I used increased amounts of finely chopped fresh Italian parsley, oregano, garlic, and onion and also basil paste (the grocery didn't have fresh basil). instead of pepper I used tony cacheres more spice. I massaged the meat with the rub until I got a decent coating. I did not trim the fat (It will caramelize in the crockpot) I will let the meat set in the rub for a few hours and then place it in a crock pot on low with the beef stock. it smells amazing right now.

I am now semi-retired and an Empty Nester. I try to focus on lighter dishes for day to day menus. I still like to explore new food ideas. I look for smaller quantity dishes now. I am not vegetarian but I cook with more vegetables than meat now. I enjoy sharing desserts with family and my co-workers.
