Pot Roast Simmering
Yes, I finally got around to cooking it. It's still simmering away. It
will be close to an hour before it's fully tender. I'll most likely make a simple slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken the gravy. No, I didn't add potatoes, carrots, etc. I'll be serving it with mashed potatoes and either broccoli or lima beans. For those who *demand* photos (heheh), here it is: http://s1342.photobucket.com/user/ji...dbae7.jpg.html Now wasn't that terribly exciting?! Jill |

I've flushed more exciting. > At least it's not a picture of grits. Heh. The pot roast (beef shoulder, 2.5 lb, shrunk to about 2 lb. after browning and simmering) turned out very well. Tender and quite tasty. Very good gravy. Oh, but you don't like gravy, do you? Yes, mashed potatoes. I settled on fordhook limas for the green vegetable. No, I didn't bother taking a picture of it. You've just proved a picture doesn't mean much of anything. You'll probably say I should have cooked a 5 lb. roast. No, because I didn't want that much. Sure, I'll portion and freeze individual meals from the leftovers. But I don't cook six months worth of leftover pot roast meals, either. Jill |

Properly prepared they're nice and creamy. I don't know why they're called grits. I do know they're made from dried hominy which is then ground. Some people call them "hominy grits", which to me is a little like saying "ink pen". Jill |
