I've had better days and pot luck cooking

February 14th, 2007 at 04:03 am

I've had much better days. Some days working for a living really isn't my cup of tea. Today was one of those days - I'd have prefereed to be anywhere but work. Garden variety stupid work stuff - for lack of a better way to describe what was happening.

Making a pot roast for work - as we have a potluck tomorrow. I make a pot roast every time. It is my signature dish. It usually costs me between $15 and $20 - a bit pricey maybe but made up by the time it takes to prepare. I usually use wine (white cause that is what I drink) but today I had beer more accessible so I used that (drank what was left in the bottle plus a fresh one for the cook)

I have the simplest recipe going.

Yummy Pot Roast
4lbs of meat (chuck roast)
2 no name packages onion soup mix
1 cup beer (or wine) (no more than this)
3-4 garlic cloves.

I cook on high about 4-6 hours (fully defrosted meat) but you can cook on low for longer. Makes tons of delicious gravy.

Have to remember to take a piece of meat off of the roast for supper tomorrow.

    You'd be surprised that the frozen roast does just as well in 6 hours too!
    I'll take the beer without the roast tonight!
    Enjoy the potluck!
