Here's the recipe from La Casa Sin Tiempo:

 

Roasted rib-eye garnished with fruits

 

Ingredients
A piece of rib-eye according to the size you wish
½ glass of white wine
Olive oil, garlic, salt and grounded pepper
A bunch of herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage)
Green apples (or red, if you prefer) and pears.

First of all, put olive oil all over the meat and flavour it with crushed garlic, salt and pepper rubbing them well. Pre-heat the oven in 240°C. This initial high temperature will be for sealing and thus, avoiding the juice to leak out of the meat. After flavoured, tie the meat with a string all over the piece so its shape will be kept. Cut the apples and pears in halves by their longitude (do not peel them) keeping the stalk. Put the bunch of herbs under the rib-eye in a roaster, place the apples and pears among it and baste everything with white wine. The roaster goes into the pre-heated oven in high temperature (240°C). Then, at this time, lower the oven for 200°C and roast the meat for about 40 minutes. Every now and again sprinkle the meat and fruits with the wine from the bottom of the roaster. If you prefer it well done, it should remain in the oven until it gets gilded.

 

 

Delicious, right?

 

New York, New York

Here's a New York listing from Zillow.

Description:

"A warm and sophisticated layout, the sixth floor residence is a one-of-a-kind full floor 2 bedroom plus windowed study and 3.5 bathroom home. A lush private terrace has 644 sun-drenched square feet accessible via the living room and master bedroom and provides an open-air retreat with the potential for outdoor grilling. Set above the quintessential SoHo town scape, the northern skyline views offer a sense of spaciousness and light unique to the neighborhood. Renowned architect and designer William T. Georgis fused the open plans found downtown with the hierarchy of uptown, pre-war apartments to create an elegant and exclusive environment. Upon entry from the locked elevator is a gracious formal gallery luxuriously scaled to exhibit artwork. The gallery leads to a generously proportioned living room with a triple exposure created by 70 linear feet of windows and 10'-7'' ceilings. The adjacent kitchen with windowed seating area is offset from the living space to allow for cooking privacy while remaining open to the living room to create a natural flow for entertaining. Rich custom quartersawn black walnut and stainless steel cabinetry is effortlessly balanced with Bethel white granite countertops from Vermont. Appliances are by Gaggenau and Miele plus a 36'' fridge and wine cooler with additional refrigerator drawers by SubZero. The exquisite ensuite master bathroom is swathed in hand-selected statuary Carrara marble slabs that have been meticulously bookmatched. 644 SF private balcony. "

 

Any guesses to the price?

 

Only *sneeze* $8.2 million...I guess that's good for New York.

Susan Branch's Molasses Cookies

Susan Branch

 

Susan was writing a post on traditions and shared her Grandma's recipe for frosted molasses cookies. The ones she baked looked delicious. Perfect with a pot of freshly brewed tea.

 

I got the Susan Branch 2013 calendar. I've already marked in a few birthdays, and read through her pages.

I just love her watercolors and would love her book for my Holiday gift.

Hint, hint...nudge, nudge.

Ina Garten's Sunday Routine

Ina Garten aka The Barefoot Contessa; lives in The Hampton's, and also has apartments in New York & Paris.

 

I recently found her routine:

 COFFEE AND OATMEAL Sunday is my favorite day of the week, totally. I get up around 7:30, get the house together, and then I make breakfast: oatmeal and coffee. I put the oatmeal in the microwave for three minutes, McCann’s quick-cooking oatmeal. I never use instant. It has no texture. I brew some Eli’s coffee, put it in my big white mug, add milk and then sit at the kitchen table and read the paper. I do everything at the kitchen table: it has a metal base and concrete top, and it’s in an alcove that faces south and overlooks the garden.

      

  BLOGGING IN THE BARN After breakfast, I wander over to the barn; not an actual barn, but a barn like structure I built six years ago after we bought the property next door. It has a 2,000-square-foot kitchen, which is great, because until then I did all my filming and cooking in the house; it’s nice to have a separate space for work. My partner, Frank, shows up at the barn and we test recipes and work on the blog. I started a Facebook blog three weeks ago and already have 100,000 followers. Amazing. I had resisted and resisted: I didn’t even know what it meant to be liked on Facebook. But I jumped into the abyss, and now I’m splashing around.

      

  SUBJECT MATTER Each week I focus the blog on one of four things: cooking, travel, entertaining or house and garden. After I had Elmo on my show, I wrote about it and included the recipe for Elmo’s heart-healthy cookies.

      

  OUT TO LUNCH At noon, Jeffrey and I put the top down on the Mini Cooper and we either drive out to Duryea’s in Montauk or to Hampton Bays to the Canal Cafe. I have a lobster roll or some type of grilled fish; I don’t like fancy food.

      

  SHOPPING STOPS We might stop at Eli’s in Amagansett to pick up some food for the week, but I also make the rounds of the garden stores: my favorites are Lynch’s in Southampton and Marders in Bridgehampton. We’ve got two acres, and although some of it is lawn, the kitchen garden is about a quarter of an acre.

      

  PLANTS DU JOUR In the late afternoon, I’ll plant whatever we bought that day. Last week it was zucchini, dahlias in a beautiful plum color and French melons. I just like to get my hands dirty on Sundays.

      

  MASSAGE TRADITION Every Sunday at 6 p.m. for the last 27 years I’ve had a massage. In 1985, I was working really hard, and one day I told myself, “I’m not having enough fun.” So I did two things: I got myself a red Mustang convertible and started having massages. I don’t have the Mustang anymore, but I still have the same masseuse!

      

  COLONIAL TAKEOUT For dinner, Jeffrey orders takeout from the 1770 House and brings it home. I watch “60 Minutes” and the must-see Sunday TV shows; now it’s “The Killing,” but I’m excited about Aaron Sorkin’s new show, “The Newsroom.” Jeffrey watches “The Killing” with one eye closed; he wakes up at 4, so he’s entitled to fall asleep at 9 or 10. I tend to watch until 11.
