No more than 30 minutes before you believe you will pulling the roast out of the oven. My personal preference would be for the last 15 minutes and then let them sit with the other veggies while the meat is resting and before serving.
I think it was tubebender who commented upon the rabies problem in his area.
I would like to report that last husband (occasional FReeper coolbreeze) did his part last night in curbing the rabid raccoon population we have here in Accomack County. Well he did have a bit of assistance from the “ever alert” 11yo girl child and the 12 gauge.
This one was really unusual as it was a full grown male. In the past we’ve only had to deal with females and offspring messing with the outside cats’ food.
Dang those reports startled me, even though I knew to expect them.
Anyway, all Jax’ kitties are safe and sound (hubby said they were all under my car or his truck when ‘coon was around) and the county is minus one more raccoon that can no longer “spread his seed” so to speak :)
