Sunday After Church Crock pot Pot Roast

Crazy busy days (otherwise known as normal days) leave me wondering what we’re going to eat for dinner.  Eating out leaves me dissatisfied and sometimes literally depressed about spending money on inferior food.  One such Sunday, a male friend took Brian, Ted and I out to get a bite at a “man food” restaurant, a well known area “hole in the wall”.  I couldn’t believe that the place was so crowded.  The ulcer threatening, greasy scents streaming out from the kitchen doors cried to me, “If you eat this food your stomach will hurt for days!”  The men happily ordered food; I ordered a coffee.  Despite being hungry, and ignoring my husband, who ate like a bear with half a deer, I waited until I was safe again in my own kitchen.

I don’t know who invented the Crock Pot, but I’ll bet he was a church-goer.  Now I’m not saying church services are too long, but for some reason, it seems appetite often peaks ten minutes before the benediction.  The challenge of running the gauntlet of ready and available food all the way home can be successful when you can say, “I know Popeye’s mashed potatoes are really better than KFC, honey, but we have dinner already waiting at home.”  Enough said.
