So disappointing :(

For dinner tonite I made a beef roast. I worked so hard on it. For Christmas I got a remote meat thermometer that I tried out for the first time. Well... it didn't work. It's not accurate, and it tried to tell me the meat was done in less than an hour. So I checked it with my old meat thermometer and it read 120 degrees... NOT 160 like the other one. I figured it might have been positioned poorly, so I re-adjusted it, and the whole time I'm jabbing new holes in the meat and the juice is just running out everywhere. Needless to say, when it was finished in another hour, it was so dry. The temp was *just* starting to read 160, so I knew I hadn't overcooked it, just over-poked it. Booo. I worked so hard. I also made biscuits where were less than mediocre. The salad was good... can't go wrong with lettuce and dressing. Ugh. I hardly ate any of it. Needless to say, I had a proper dinner of a tuna melt and veggie straws when I returned home from water-aerobics. I was FAMISHED!!! And my tuna melt & veggie straws never disappoint :)
