I'm fine! Just got into other stuff for a bit. Got to thinking about
here and realized I'd not checked in for a long time.

Sheldon's post on the pot roast he had reminded me how many timesi'd
just get an idea from here and run off to make something. Last night
it was a simple pot roast stew.

1 cut slab of pot roast, about 2 inches thick
3 medium potatoes, quartered
4 small peeled carrots, peeled and chopped to 1/2 inch
1/2 a medium chopped onion
2 cups beef broth

I put the meat at the top of the crock pot still frozen and turned up
to high for 2 hours then down to low for the rest of the night. At
about 6 hours cooking, Don was very happy with this basic not too fancy
dish served with fresh bread. It was even better by breakfast and
tonight we will munch up the rest of it.

The remaining broth and veggies will become the base for a veggie beef
soup with cooked noodles added at serving time.
