    Pot Roast to die for

    Uncle A pot roast needs a cut of beef with a lttle gristle and fat in it because it cooks so long. A good, lean, cut of meat will likely turn out stringy. On the other hand, any roast is better if it is well marbled. BTW, Yorkshire pudding is a first cousin to pop-overs.

    Pot Roast to die for

    Karrie One of the points made was that a pot roast was one of the cheaper meals out there. Somebody else offered that homemade or home cooked beans were cheaper than canned. If Mikey chooses to eat wieners and canned beans that is his choice. I admit I don't fully understand Mikey's situation...

    Pot Roast to die for

    Gerryh you are either kidding or ignorant. There are a few other roasts that have qualities a standing rib doesn't have and there are certainly steaks that have more to offer than a tenderloin. A rump roast produces better drippings for gravy than a standing rib and is usually leaner and just...

    Pot Roast to die for

    Good idea. Often the stores will have smoked ham shanks on sale at a reasonable price and they are also great in a bean pot. Right now I have a couple ham shanks simmering on the stove in a big pot of water with split peas, chopped onion and a chopped carrot to make split pea soup. Great...

    Pot Roast to die for

    Well I don't promise not to speak of food again and neither should Nuggler. Pot roast is hardly the preferred food for the rich. Mikey, if you scaled down the recipe I posted for one person you could buy a suitable roast for around five or six bucks that would feed you dinner for five or six...

    Pot Roast to die for

    Don't know about that Nug. It is pretty hard to screw up a pot roast but I've managed a couple times. I got trapped in this cooking thing by accident. My wife and I were both working and I got home first so I started dinner. I later ran a consulting business out of my home so it continued...

    Just as an aside here; If you have a meat slicer you can shave this roast into your favourite rolls, paninis, or hoagie buns for really superior beef dip sandwiches. Use the gravy for the dip.

    Computer power supply failure

    The power supply on my wife's computer just died and in dying it wiped out the memory and may have damaged the motherboard or the CPU. Has anyone heard of this before?
