Some people taste with their mouths, some people taste with their eyes and my husband tastes with his ears. When he heard I was making a prune, peppercorn and herb rubbed roast (eye round) he was immediately turned off. "But honey the prunes are just in the marinade", says I. Too late. Anyway it was another milk St. recipe which turned out pretty good, I think. The roast has to be thinly sliced and it will make great roast beef sandwiches for the future. (shhh!)
