Pot Roast update
It was DEEEEE-LICIOUS!
We walked in and it just smelled wonderful.
But it didn't quite go according to plan...
Tomorrow is Sister's birthday, and I had to get her card signed by Husband and her package in the mail, so I ran over to his school at 3:00, got him to sign the card, went to the PO (drove by Coptix and didn't realize it was Coptix till I saw Josiah's scooter. (; It sure is *cute*, Josiah!), then went to Greyfriar's to hang out till 6. Called Jeep, asked him to come hang out since I was going to be there till 6, but ended up only being there till about 5:30.
Got to Husband's school by 6:15, but he was calling students' parents, alerting them to their children's missing essays (oooh, naughty naugty little kiddies! Teacher got you in trouble!), so we didn't leave for home till 6:45, didn't get home till 7:10, and by that time, it was too late to boil potatoes. SO I diced 5 potatoes pretty small, threw them into boiling water, turned the heat back to about 6/7, and let them go. (If you boil potatoes gently, they will hold together better, as the starch will have more time during cooking to absorb the water.)
I didn't get back to the kitchen till about 8:05, and the potatoes were done. I pulled the roast out of the crockpot, and it was already falling to pieces! I used my hands to prep it (pull the fat off the meat, but I hardly needed to), threw the potatoes in the beef broth + carrot mixture, and served up the food.
It was delish.
The only things I'd change: the roast was pretty big, and I wish I'd made it with more carrots. They are so savory cooked this way!!!!! I'd also have made fresh bread (Pillsbury crescent rolls).
It's a great, great recipe. Sooooooooooo good. I love beef. (It's what's for dinner!)
