Did up the cross rib. 2.5 hours on the Traeger, which got it to about 120F internal. Then tossed into the preheated crock pot on low. I was going to pull it at 150F but due to chores, I got it at 155. No worries, it was **** fine. Great smoke ring, great flavor and very juicy. Rounded it up with mashed potatoes, gravy and some of the endless carrots I have to deal with.

I made a scalloped potato roll for dinner. The filling is grass-fed beef with onions, green onion, tomatoes, and spices. Very simple and tasty. A rare treat for sure because of all the cheese.

Lined a baking tray sloppily with parchment. Spinkled heavily with shredded cheese. Topped with scalloped gold potatoes. Sprinkled with more cheese. Baked this until brown and gooey at 400°F and let cool until just warm.



I forcefully threw my beef mix on top and spread it roughly evenly. I then dropped more cheese on top and roll the puppy up like a giant burrito, (not shown). I topped this with more cheese and baked it for 45 minutes at 375°F


Here's the finished scalloped potato roll after it has cooled down. If you don';t let it cool down it's messy to cut. So I let it cool down, slice it, and then reheat each individual slice.



It looked prettier on my dinner plate. The same dish can be made as a casserole, which is a little less time-consuming and yields a little less crust than the roll. This could also be made as a potato strudel with potato dough. Too much work because rolling out potato dough thin for a strudel is a real bastard.

 
I'm a lucky guesser. Actually, since you don't tolerate marjoram well, I presume you suffer from a salicylate intolerance. That's what causes pine mouth, dear Watson. 🔎

I am unsure where you found the salicylate connection. Have a link?

Marjoram I tolerate to a point, no long term impact just too much tastes soapy. Wife agrees.
She does not have PNS.

I think too much cilantro = soap as well. Wife doesn't agree.

I didn't look for or find a connection but I knew that both, marjoram and pine nuts were high in salicylates, a common irritant. Could be some other compound or a combination of compounds causing you trouble. After all, you appear to have no problems with avocado, asparagus, tomatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower and those are also high in salicylates.
 
By the way, I have an issue with raw basil. It leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth without any signs of an allergy. I'm however perfectly fine with cilantro and pine nuts.

I would find a fix to that issue. One should not be deprived of a caprise salad.
