First Ride of 2009/Heel of Round Roast

We had our first bike ride of 2009 on Friday. The day was as nice as you can hope for in January in Carbondale: sunny and 50, with only light winds. The 20+ miles earned us a spot in the top 700 on bike journal. That lasted only a brief shining moment, till others went out on subsequent days. My commuting should start tomorrow, but for a car in the shop... I'll have to drive the other car for back-up and kid-pick-up. Then it's rain and/or snow for the rest of the week.

Heel of Round Roast:
I would not recommend this cut -- too tough to roast, and too lean to braise. Plus part of it has a strange network of connective goo running through it, rather like the outline of a maze! Might be a reasonable thing to make broth out of, if you got a good price on it.
