The crockpot was on Warm [View all]

Not High, or even Low.
Warm.

The chuck roast I pulled out of the freezer for tomorrow (which is now today…) defrosted much quicker than expected. So I said, “Eh, why not,” and got it seared off and into the crockpot at about 11 pm.

At 3 am, I went to the kitchen to put the carrots in and start making potatoes. No marvelous scents were wafting from the direction of the kitchen, an inauspicious sign.

It’s been on Warm for 4 hours.

The potatoes are now done and the crockpot is on Low. Just going to let it go until whenever I get up tomorrow. Eff it. At least the meat will be extra tender and there will be lots of liquid for gravy to lube it up. And I won’t have to fool around with the potatoes so yay for that. Heck, I’ll even let it go another hour while I drink coffee and fully wake up because the carrots will still need to go in.

Regardless: Tomorrow is pot roast day, the best damn day of the month.
(it has officially overtaken Cheeseburger Macaroni day, lol)
