Pot Roast

Trim off the fat, rub in flour and garlic salt, soak in cream of mushroom and beef broth, add onion soup mix (and red wine if you have it), slow cook on high for 4 hours, slow cook on low for 6 hours, add vegetables 2 hours before end of 6 hours, and eat.

I had fun this time. It was the first time I deliberately strayed away from the recipe because I had tried the recipe before and thought that I could improve on it. The thing I love about slow cookers is that the meat always becomes tender can be torn apart with just a fork. The flavors are able to soak inside the meat for hours and the room in which you are cooking is soaked inside the smell for hours. 

To top it off, the best part about this pot roast wasn't even the pot roast itself. The best part about food is having people to enjoy it with. I didn't know that this specific Wednesday was going to be a rainy day, but that is how it turned out. So as the sound of thunder rolled in the background, I was able to have a (unromantic, but comfortingly friendly) dinner with my girlfriend. We both felt pretty bloated after eating so much and just sat there watching TV. 

Having no roommates gives me this desire to eat with people. It is acceptable to eat food alone, but it is not acceptable to eat a meal alone. There is nothing more depressing than eating a feast all alone.
