sunday night dinner

in honor of my eight day business trip that commences tomorrow, i made a real sunday dinner tonight. it actually started this morning ... i put a roast, carrots, potatoes and onions in the crock pot and turned it on. i even remembered to "sear" the meat before i tossed it in. (okay, i really couldn't remember what i was supposed to do to prep the meat, so i did pound it with a meat doodle first, but quickly remembered that you do that to chicken, not cow.) i really thought joe might cry when he saw that i made dinner.

all was well until we were about 1/2 way through the meal and i smelled something burning. let's just say that the bread i prepared was no longer edible.

all in all, not bad for a julie-cooked meal. :-)
