Whatcha chowin' on tonight on free-for-all Friday?

[rodentraiser]

I just started another new recipe. For me, that is. Believe it or not, I've never made a pot roast. I do like eating pot roast, so when I found a decent recipe I decided to go for it.

First of all, let me say that if I'm not here in the future, you can find me in federal prison for robbing a bank to pay for the roast. So this is obviously not going to be a regular meal in my house. This is considered a cheap food? And it was on sale, too! I almost asked the cashier if she took gold for it.

Anyway, I seared it and jammed it into the crock pot and threw in some garlic and onion and beef broth and sprinkled it with Wooster sauce (no, I'm not gonna try to spell that) with a bunch of baby red potatoes on top. I'm guessing it will take at least 8 or 9 hours to cook. I'm not worried about this being edible. At that price, I'll eat it if it looks like an old blanket and tastes like road kill.

Barber fit & flavorful chicken cordon bleu, peas, and applesauce.

Not a treat in this little apartment.

I need to make a grocery run.

We decided on veggie hash, onions, peppers, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, will be served with ketchup.

I just put a pan of Chicken Thighs & Potatoes in the oven...from @Kathleen 's post in the 10/19/23 dinner thread. I did use carrots and red onion too. I used some Feast Hall Ginny Seasoning instead of Italian...it smells Divine!

OK, the pot roast was edible but there's so much of it! And I took it out of the slow cooker after 8 hours. No need to let it rest. It broke apart as I lifted it out of the slow cooker. The only thing is, I had forgotten how much fat there was on it. Half of it seems to be fat and I'm not a big fan of fat. I'm thinking of burying it under a tree somewhere. Maybe it'll make hundred dollar blooms next spring.

Out to lunch after grocery. BLT for me with fries and coleslaw. Chicken salad sandwich with chili cheese fries for Craig. We had dessert for dinner from bakery, cherry turnover for me and chocolate chip brownies for Craig.

Pan fried ham steak and mashed sweet potato seasoned with cinnamon.

DH ordered a pizza and I got a chicken breast "burger". It was pretty good.

Found the last of the mini-naan's. Opened up two packages of the imitation crab and lobster meats. I actually wanted to taste test them side by side. Usually when I have them it is days, if not weeks apart. I honestly could not tell the difference. So last night I opened both. The lobster does taste like lobster and the crab does taste (albeit faintly) of crab. Now I know. and I prefer the lobster.

Made a sandwich with tons of mayo. Very yummy good and delicious.

Maybe I'll make some more sushi rolls with the now open packages. Or try my hand at ... whatever the triangular balls of rice are called, wrapped in a bit of nori ....

Use leftovers for: beef soup, meat sauce for pasta, depending on seasoning (add spices) you can use for tacos.

Once cooled the fat will be easier to see and remove. Just take out the big chunks and don't stress over the small stuff. Don't forget there is a lot of flavour there.
Do as msmofet suggests, soup, pasta sauce, tacos.

Cottage pie. Just thicken the pot roast liquid with cornstarch for it.

The fat in the liquid will float to the top and harden after being in the refrigerator so you can pick it out with your fingers. Cut off the fat on the meat.

Refrigerate the pot overnight. The fat will solidify on top and you can easily take it off. What remains will still be delicious and worth eating.

Good to see that you know how to pronounce "Wooster" sauce! Hope you enjoyed the hotpot too.

Actually, I think it's Woostersheer sauce, but I'm still not going to try to spell it. LOL

The fat in the pot roast that I was referring to was in the meat! I'd take a bite and have a full mouthful of fat. Yuck. I froze most of it. I discovered I don't like pot roast that much after all. Probably will never make it again.
