Yawning

I'm terribly sleepy lately. I even went to bed early two nights last weekend, but I'm still dragging. Now it's past ten and I am just about ready to drop.

Sunday night I cooked jambalaya from the Gumbo Shop cookbook. (We ate at the Gumbo Shop when we were on vacation in New Orleans a couple of years ago.) The recipe was easy and turned out good. We had leftovers tonight.

Tonight I also started working on a Cuban dish I plan to make later this week, ropa vieja ("old clothes"). It's what you might call a double-cooked pot roast, Cuban style. Tonight I cooked the flank steak in a dutch oven for a couple of hours. Tomorrow or Thursday I'll shred the beef and cook it up with tomatoes, wine, and a bunch of other stuff. This is the dish I had at Victor's Cafe a couple of weeks ago. I only hope mine comes close to theirs.

I'm really yawning now, so I'd better go.
