I made a pot roast. I used a two and a half pound boneless beef chuck cross
rib roast that was neatly tied around by two strings. It was $3.99 per pound.
I dont know if thats a good price or not.
I added carrots, Idaho spuds and yellow onions. Then I thickened the broth
when everything had been pulled out.
My wife made me live on these things when we were first married. I used to
call them a €œgoddam rolled roast€�. I forgot that they are quite tasty and
make meals for two nights for two people. I should have taken a picture.
Nobody here has ever seen a pot roast picture, have they?

Hahahahaaaa, does your wife know how you 'suffered' through those roasts
when y'all were first married??

I prepared a roast last week and hope to find a good one when I hit the store
on Thursday. I dumped a sack of small carrots in the pot as well and I'm not a
great fan of cooked carrots, but these were super sweet before cooking.
I almost hated to 'waste' them on a roast.

She certainly does! Its a standing joke from our early days. When I
brought it home, she said, €œOh, look, a goddam rolled roast."

She deserves a solid gold medal for putting up with you for 50 years.

Maybe it's the other way around.

You'll like this story, Joan:
We lived together for one year, then got married right after
she got the divorce from husband #1.
For our first wedding anniversary, my wife took my wedding
band to a jeweler to have it resized a bit and polished.
She also had him engrave "FOREVER" on the inside.
That was nice.

7 years later, she left and ran off with her also married boss.
I guess 9 years living with me *seemed* like forever. lol

Maybe she knew that what you really wanted was a ferret?

That engraving should have been your first clue that it wouldn't be
forever, probably less than a month she'd spread her legs in the back
seat of her bosses car.

Had nothing to do with living with you for nine years, cheaters don't
keep track of time... she very likely cheated on all the men she
cheated with.

She did you a huge favor, you were much better off without the
cheater, odds are she was cheating long before you found out, probably
within a month of your marriage to her. It's a lot easier for women
to cheat than for men... women who marry young are very likely to
cheat because they soon feel they missed out on variety and
opportunities.

My wife enjoys my potroast, and I never make one with only two pounds
of meat, it's usually a 4-5 pound roast, pot roast shrinks a lot. I
find it silly to go through all that long low simmering for a
miniscule amount. Once cold from the fridge it's very easy to slice
thin. We like cold potroast sandwiches too, very good with
horseradish sauce. My secret ingredient is to braise the roast in 12
ounces of beer. It's very rare I drink beer but I keep some for
cooking... good for bread baking too. Mostly I buy a dark ale.

Pot roast is good. I made one the other day with a chuck roast of the same weight. That was one beautiful piece of meat although there were no strings attached. Mine was free and clear of any attachments.

Tonight I had some chicken thighs cooked on a Ronco Industries Showtime Rotisserie. The thighs were dry rubbed and rotated for 50 minutes. On the dry rub, I added some ghost pepper flakes - just a few twists on a grinder. It was a tiny amount but the heat was pretty awesome. Next time, I'll slather the chicken in mustard before adding the dry rub. It was pretty intense, as usual.

Sounds good. I've never done a rolled roast. Always a flat 7-bone chuck.

Last night was leftover rice from Monday's Indian lash-up, with a little
red lentil soup into which I sprinkled some spices. Not as good as blooming
the spices in fat, but for a weeknight after work that was about all I wanted
to do.

Preceded by a salad dressed with lime juice, mint chutney, and oil.
