Bubble and squeak

If there's a "Jewish" version, matzah brei is it! And it's a Passover brekkie that gets unanimous cheers...

It's softened matzah mixed with eggs and fried...what could be bad? Except for the ketchup they smother it in...blech!...I'm not an eggs with ketchup gal.

Details?
Here goes:

-For each serving, break up 2 sheets matzah into 2" square or so pieces, rustic is fine and uniformity's not necessary, and put into a bowl.
-Fill the bowl with enough hot tap water to cover the matzah, then drain the water.
-Add an egg, salt and pepper to taste and mix - hands work best - to combine.
-Fry up in butter and listen to the bubble and squeak!

As good as it is, matzah brei fullness doesn't last all day...so dinner's in order!

I've had a chuck roast in the freezer that's been giving me an Eat Me look for too long, so I took pity on it, defrosted it and got ready to devour it with roasted sweet potatoes and salad.

Details?
Here goes:

-Preheat the grill to really hot.
-Prepare a rub in the food processor: Whir 1 large dried ancho chile, 1 med dried chipotle chile, 2 dozen black peppercorns, a half t coriander seeds, 2 t salt, 2 t turbinado sugar, a quarter c coffee beans and 2 large sliced garlic cloves until ground.
-Cover both sides of the 4 lb roast with the rub, pushing it into the meat as much as possible, and sear each side on the hot grill.
-In a dutch oven, saute 1 large red onion diced, 4 ribs celery diced and 3 large garlic cloves sliced in about 3 T butter until translucent. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
-Add meat and juices to the pot and cover with a 14.5 oz tin diced tomatoes, a half c sweet vermouth and a 3" cinnamon stick.
-Cover the pot and braise on low heat for an hour.

John roasted the sweet potatoes on the grill while we enjoyed one of his signature cocktails outside and I rounded out the dinner with a salad of romaine, leftover blanched chopped spinach and dried chopped dates in a white wine vinaigrette.

It was such a lovely day that I tried not to bubble and squeak with enthusiasm!
