Words of Wisdom from my Grandma
I can vividly recall sitting on the counter top in the kitchen chatting with my Grandma as she cooked dinner. Everyday I did this. Not once did I ever pay any attention to what she was doing, ever. She would tell me constantly "You know Sherri, you're never going to find a man if you can't cook and keep a clean house!"
Of course, I would laugh, inwardly thinking to myself, what kind of guy is out there ogling my cooking abilities! I'm pretty sure the first thing on a guys mind when he sees a female isn't 'oh my God! Now that one looks like she can cook a pot roast!'
Why the trip down memory lane you may be asking? Today on my lunch I decided to run home and put a pot roast in the crock pot for dinner tonight. I took the roast out of the fridge and grossed out at the blood in the bottom of the container. I used a knife to lift it out of the container because I can't touch raw meat and grossed out when the roast made a splat sound in the crock pot. I opened a packet of onion soup mix, dumped it on the roast, and filled the crock pot with water.
This is the first time I've ever made a pot roast. Unsure if I have done it correctly or not, I decide to ask Julie how she cooks her roasts. She starts by telling me she browns it and a bunch of different stuff. Oops, I think to myself. I should have been paying attention to my Grandma when she was trying to teach me how to cook!

Well at least you will know why C, Z and T are being sick tomorrow haha, j/k. :)
And hello to everyone who listened to my tunes earlier :-)
I still remember how in college you would make me form the hamburger patties b/c you wouldn't touch raw meat. :) Have you considered vegetarianism??
Well, I just got home, and it smells yummy! Let's just hope it tastes ok. (fingers crossed)
LOL You would bring that up Jessica!
Crock pot. The all day microwave. Easy to cool, really hard to screw it up. My older kids still laugh at me as I was boiling water and somehow the burner under the pan caught on fire. They were amazed I could start a fire with water. We eat out a lot. LOL.
I am so with you on this!! My boy has to take any meat off the bone for me before I eat it, and touching raw meat ... not a chance that will EVER happen!!!!!!!
I myself am a culinary genius.
I once caught a hot pad on fire, I can totally see how that would happen Thomas. LOL
I hear you Angela!
ranger tom, you'll have to give me some cooking tips.
So how did the pot roast taste? I heard it smelled yummy. :)
It turned out really good! I was happy. Charlie finished off the entire roast when he got home last night.
You're doing pretty good...I can't cook. and I have never even used nor been in the same room as a crock poT!
