pot roast

i've been cooking more lately. now that i have guinea pigs, er, i mean, dudes who will eat my shit, i can try new dishes and they can tell me how they like them. they seem relatively comfortable with me experimenting on their stomachs. the thing is that i generally don't like eating things that i've cooked. not that it's nasty, it's just that i've been looking at and smelling the damn ingredients all day the last thing i want to do is consume them.

i'm on to the crock pot. the nice thing about that is that since it takes so long to cook things, i don't have the "sick of looking at it" problem. so, i'm more inclined to eat. today, i made a pot roast. it's not spectacular. really, it needs some lovin', but i don't know what; salt, for starters, i suppose. the meat is super tender and everything looks right, it just isn't very flavorful. i noticed that when i was mixing the ingredients together, but you never know what 6 hours of cooking will do to the juices and flavor. so, i didn't want to add anything, in case after a few hours of stewing, the spice became overwhelming.

it's not bad for my first time out of the box. it's definitely hearty. it looks like i should be force feeding my drunken friend and telling him where to find Count Rugen.
