She asked me to pick up a crockpot yesterday since she doesnt drive. Im heading over there tonight and tomorrow we will be picking up makings for trying a roast.
This will be the first time I have cooked one in a crock pot. So it will be a fun experiment hopefully. I have made them in oven before.
I think we will get a small beef roast, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and maybe a gravy that can be made in the microwave because her stove doesnt work at the present time.
Dad says to put carrots on bottom so the roast drains out grease to them. Apparently the carrots are usuallly solid enough that they dont absorb the grease of the roast so much.
Suppose to cook the roast and carrots like 6 hours and the potatoes 2 hours. NOt sure when to put in the mushrooms yet, but I imagine that it will not take too long to cook them.
Anywho…im just killing time until I head over tonight, so thought I would give an update on my plans for the hell of it.
