...is still pot roast. I've made pot roast in the past. Sometime, somewhere, in the ancient past. Directions in TAOSF are kinda complicated. I certainly didn't follow them exactly. My eye round got seasoned and sat in the frig for days. I forgot the second browning. And I had a disagreement with Alice! I cooked my vegetables (the day AFTER I braised the meat, which was several hours AFTER I browned the meat) in the braising juices rather than just plain water. Why would you boil the veggies separately in plain water when you have all those braising juices (mine was packaged beef broth and Two Buck Chuck Shiraz)??? Makes no sense to me.
Well, the results weren't anything to write home to mother about. Not bad, but not exactly inspiring either. This dish merits further research and a do-over.
Otherwise today? A meeting of the Central Coast Weavers, which is always good. An overdue haircut. A certain amount of cat petting. Watching Survivor and Project Runway while working through my email. Life is good.
52 down; 253 to go
