Braciole And A Balcony Garden Update

We made braciole on Sunday. That's the Italian version of the French roulade. Ours was flattened-out flank steak rolled around a paste of herbs, garlic, and breadcrumbs. First we seared it on our tiny electric (and balcony-friendly) grill then we braised it in the oven in tomato sauce for hours. Mmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm... Speaking of the balcony, the garden's still putting along. It doesn't get full sun all day so things are a bit stunted, but hopefully we'll get some harvestable goods before summer ends. So far there's been arugula and French breakfast radishes. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the Silvery Fir Tree Tomato plant has a growth spurt soon. I really want to try those.
