Doesn't HAVE to be oven...she just asked me how to bake it, so I
assumed oven. I told her to buy a bigger roast, because this wasn't
worth it. She didn't appreciate my advice <G>

who, so far today, has made homemade pancakes for breakfast, finger
sandwiches (the children think they're cool) for lunch, hamburger
steaks with garlic sauce, salad, and au gratin potatoes for dinner, a
batch of chili for tomorrow, and is working on "magic soup", which
wasn't supposed to be soup, just some chicken broth because I was
packaging up a big pack of chicken and figured I'd boil some for
stock, and the 3 year old woke up and insisted that it turn into her
favorite (magic soup is just rich homemade chicken soup with ABC
noodles, but the kids named it that after I made it the first time
when they both had colds, and it "fixed them up like magic")
Why do I do this when we get 10 inches of snow? Do I subconsciously
think we'll starve in the cold???
