Dump the roast and put Ron on a spit.....turn slowly and joyfully over the
hot coals.....just like a hot dog......do this with lots of
'relish'.....(big grin....same lame joke told in theology class in college
by professor teaching on cannibalism).

Sage is best with chicken or pork, rosemary with lamb.
Neither with beef.

>Neither with beef.

Actually, rosemary is GREAT with beef. But garlic and onion will be the main
point.

Divorce the clod, and start over.

If it's spent several hours in the crock pot but is STILL underdone, as in not
cooked in the center, you've got a bacteria culture, not a comestible. Toss
it.

I give Ron lots of credit for trying to cook a pot roast. He tried and it
didn't work out. My mother made lots of bland pot roasts in the pressure
cooker. I cook them in the slow cooker and always put in some wine. They turn
out tasty. That reminds me, I have a pork roast to cook. I will brown this
and put it in the slow cooker with carrots and onons and potatoes. If I put it
in tonight you will be jealous of how the kitchen will smell Thursday morning.

Oh, he makes great pot roast, usually. He's the 'sunday cook'. I'm
not allowed near the kitchen when he's cooking big pot stuff.

Anyway, I owe so many people an apology because I asked a question
and I didn't respond or act on the answers. I forgot how time
consuming it is, taking care of a deceased one's business. It's
even worse this time because the house has to be sold, whatever.

I got so many responses and that friggin pot roast is still in the
refrigerator. I thank you all so much. I'm sorry I put you out.
Truly.

It would be almost unnatural for you to be going about business as usual.
I don't accept your apology because you didn't have to make one. So THERE!

I don't think *anyone* in RFC was put out by giving advice -- it's
kinda what we live for, don't you think? Well, that and cooking... ;-)

Not to worry. Now you know how many people make pot roast and are
willing to talk about it!
