I am publishing this post on Tuesday, Day 67 of the social distancing. The country is beginning to open up even though the numbers continue to rise. We were supposed to wait until the numbers had dropped for 14 days, but it doesn't seem to be what is happening. Sunday we went to eat at Roxanne's Cafe. We went inside since there were not too many inside. Since we have only had 53 confirmed cases in our county and no deaths, Wayne isn't as nervous as he was earlier about getting out. He goes to Aldi and the places to buy flowers but we haven't socialized with any of our friends.
Yesterday though Wayne played golf for the first time in 2020. He and his three friends tried to play last week but it ended up raining that day and they couldn't find a day when they were all available. I couldn't help but feel a little sad that I don't play golf with my friends so we could get together. Hard to keep our social distance and play canasta. I ended up watching two Hallmark movies from last year that I had recorded and never watched. The temperatures are still staying cool. It would have been warmer had the sun been shining. By the end of the week it is supposed to get up into the low 80s but chance of tunderstorms for four days won't make it any fun.
Friend Ellen treated her husband Gary and herself to her Elegant Oven Swiss Steak. She was thoughtful enough to take pictures and shared them with me so I could share them with you. She made it once before but didn't take any pictures. It is actually a favorite recipe of theirs but she says she only makes it about twice a year now. I could almost smell the dish looking at the pictures. They love tomatoes so she doubles the original amount (2 - 3 cups) of tomatoes that the recipe actually calls for. I shared the recipe with her doubled amount. Thanks Ellen for remembering me as you prepared it.
ELLEN'S ELEGANT OVEN SWISS STEAK
1-1/2 to 2 lbs round steak about 1 inch thick
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 28 - oz cans whole tomatoes, drain one can (may use fresh)
1/2 cup chopped celery
6 carrots, sliced
1 medium onion sliced
1/2 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut steak into serving portions.
Combine the flour, salt, and seasoned salt. Pound into meat.
Pour a small amount of oil in skillet and
brown both sides of the meat.
Place in a sprayed baking dish or individual dishes.
In a sauce pan combine the veggies, Worchestershire sauce, and Italian dressing. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer for maybe 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Pour mixture evenly over meat. Cover dish with foil. Bake for up to 2 hours.
Remove dish from the oven and remove foil. Bring the meat servings to the top. Sprinkle the cheese over the meat servings. Return dish to oven (without foil) for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
