Not Another Pot Roast


            Flue season in Michigan starts when the temperatures drop below freezing.  Some people choose to get a shot to protect themselves from the impending 7-10 day bed vacation.   Brian and I do not get the shot we just play the odds of getting sick each winter.  If we are lucky, we will get it before the bug mutates and strengthens.  I have a strange feeling that I just won the flue lottery.  This morning I woke up with a very achy neck and shoulders. Great, I so know what that feeling means, start drinking white tea, at least ½ a gallon all day today, make some garlic fill soup, and cross my fingers hoping I get it before it gets me.  Back before Netflix, we would grab all of our long movies, such as “Titanic,” and start watching.  One year someone asked me if I had the flue the past winter? I thought for a moment and realized that the epics never left the movie shelf that winter and said, “No!”    

Not Another Pot Roast

Place a pot roast in the crock pot.  Add water so that is goes half way up on the side of the roast.  Add: one beef bouillon cube, 10 shakes of Worcestershire over the top of the roast, salt, pepper, marjoram, and cut carrots.  Cook in crock pot on high for two hours.  Turn down the heat to medium and cook for 6 more hours, or until the roast is tender.

Eat with Baked potatoes.  Yum!
