Hello to all of you Made from Pinterest peeps out there! Happy to be here to share another recipe with everyone.

I’m going to admit I was never a sirloin fan. So this recipe comes via a mistake made by my hubby. I’m all for being honest. It’s sort of my thing.

We were planning a bigdinner for a special occasion. Hubs was hitting Costco for me on his way home from work. We live in a small town about 20 or 30 minutes from a bigger city. Since he works in the city he’ll occasionally stop at Costco for me. Sweet, right?

Not this particularday. He was in a bit of a mood because Costco was hopping. I think it was a Thursday, and by now I should know better than to send him there on a Thursday, a weekend or before a holiday. Hubs hates shopping. As a lot of folksdo.

I made a list which he forgot to grab. It haddetailed notes on what to get. Then I texted him with very specific information on what to get. Then he called me from Costco to clarify the list. I thought we covered all the bases on which kind of roast to buy.

So when he walked in thedoor with a sirloin roast I think I may have thrown it at him. Not hard, but it’s possible it was hurled across the room. It tenderizes the meat so it served adual purpose.

Now you’re thinking “why is she hurling sirloin roasts at her sweet, helpie hubs”, am I right??

Yeah, I asked for a Standing Rib Roast.

You feel me now, right?

Okay, Idid not hurl it at his head, or anywhere else. Although I’ll admit I was tempted.

Needless to say, we had a good giggle. He was a sweetheart and offered to take it back. Idid my best “understanding wife” impersonation and told him no. Not because I was being nice but I was afraid he might come home with lamb or pork at this point.

He’s cute though, so I let him off the hook. Marriage is all about balance, and keeping your wicked sense of humour.

So why did I have the reaction ofdisgust when he brought home sirloin?

Well, I have very, very, VERYbad memories of sirloin. Mydad loved sirloin, but my mom was not a great cook. So any sirloin we had wasdry or chewy. That is what I knew sirloin to taste like.

At that moment I had an epiphany. Maybe it was time to learn how to cook sirloin so it wasn’t chewy. I remembered pinning a sirloin roast from my pal Steve of The Black Peppercorn. So I peeked through my pins and sure enough, there it was.

Steve is a great cook so I used his beef roast recipe as a place to start. I cooked mine a wee bit longer because mydaughter is not a huge fan of pinkish meat. It turned out fabulous. So kudos to Steve for the recipe inspiration.

A big kudos to hubs, too, for picking this up for me to experiment with. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. And hubs was pleasantly surprised no meat was hurled at him.

So all in all it turned out good for everyone in the end. Although he hasn’t been back to Costco since.

P.S. No hubs were hurt in the making of this story.

Thanks to everyone reading. Have no fear, hubs is alive and well, just not making many trips to Costco any more.

Actually, the more I think about this the more I’m convinced he bought the wrong one on purpose so he never has to go there again.

Ah, sneaky. Well played hubs, well played.

But revenge is sweet. *evil giggles*

Toodles and smoochies! xx
