Best. Pot roast. Ever. Just saying... Had it with a salad and a Stegmeier Porter, the turnips and alterna-roots really worked out well and the meat (a better cut than I usually use) was melt-in-your-mouth good. I only wish it were colder or rainy/snowy last night, this was the ultimate winter meal. I'll probably get the chance to eat this under more adverse conditions, since there's a winter front coming through tomorrow night, and I have plenty left over: I cooked a 3 pound chunk of beef, so I basically have another week's worth of meat, maybe more. Next time, I'll probably go with a smaller piece and use more veggies, to try for a more balanced ratio -- right now it looks like I'll have plenty of meat left over when I run out of everything else.
Nothing much to say otherwise. Picked up my old bike rack last night, from the guy I sold the car to. Hit yoga, had dinner, read some Gravity's Rainbow -- I'm up to the Franz Pokler part, the moral center of the book, and maybe my life -- and played with the computer some, but went to bed at a reasonable hour. Overslept, but not by much... tonight is the gym, and I think you know what I'm having for dinner.

Next time you visit,
you can cook it here for us.
I'll get ingredients.
OK?
Of course it will be summer by then so maybe t's not the best choice.
Love that crock pot!!
Have you used the food processor yet?
Good results?
I posted a reply yesterday, but Blogger eated it...
That's not exactly the toughest recipe, you don't have to wait until summer! I used one of those bags of soup vegetables -- by the way, someone was able to identify that other root as a parsnip -- and tossed a couple of chopped turnips & some celery into the mix.
