Before the holidays, I got the idea in my head that I wanted pot roast. Hadn’t had it years and with the winter weather approaching, it sounded like a good idea.
First problem being that I have lived 35 years on this planet and never actually made a pot roast. Mom always did it, I never knew how (it always just seemed to appear) and she didn’t leave instructions behind. Well, time to research.
I pored over recipes, conferred with old school comfort food cooks, blindly wandered the roast section of the market. Today I watched Alton Brown’s pot roast show.
I am now more confused than ever – and have seen nothing that resembles what Mom used to make.
I’m not giving up, but the pot roast may be a January thing at the rate I am going.
