Down-home Dining
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Dining is not only about eating, it is also an opportunity to slow down and enjoy friends and family! Meals are a socially necessary event allowing loved ones to reconnect their very busy lives. Nothing is more appealing than a beautifully set table complete with good food, good drink and good company!
Buffalo Trader features some magnificent down-home dinnerware that would be a fun addition to any dish collection. The Lodge Pinecone Stoneware is perfect alone or perhaps mixed in with a more traditional stoneware setting in solid whites and greens. Consider using these dishes for a more festive arrangement around the holidays. They would be so country cozy placed on a great red tablecloth with a fun centerpiece featuring a few fresh pinecones, some greenery and white candles!
Here’s a hearty down-home slow cooked dish that’s easy and delicious. You’ll spend less time in the kitchen and more time around your festive table with family and friends.
Bison Pot Roast
3-4 lbs Bison roaster (Chuck, Round or Rump)
2 C. of your favorite red wine (heavy Merlot or a Cabernet Sauvignon will do best)
4 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3-4 cloves chopped garlic
Fresh chopped Sage to taste
Brown the meat in 1 Tbsp vegetable oil (approximately 3-4 minutes on each side) and place in slow cooker. Top with remaining ingredients and cover. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or until fork tender. Serve with mashed potatoes and a dark green such as wilted spinach.
Y’all enjoy!
