First Post.

Wow! I can't believe am so excited that I actually got around to doing this. Hopefully this blog won't become too much of a distraction for me, but i guess we will see. Haha. Today, I made my first pot roast (it's weird that it's my first...considering i cook all the time)!! It was a Red-Wine Pot Roast with Porcini, and let me tell you, it was an absolutely fabulous, melt in your mouth, killer aroma pot roast. Of course I tweaked it a little bit, but for the most part, I made it as written. I doubled the garlic (because I love it!), substituted thyme for marjoram (because that's what I had in the fridge), and cooked it in my crock pot on low for 6 hours (with amazing results if i may say so myself). The amazing boyfriend (who claims he hates pot roast <<= how is that even possible??) is coming over soon , and has promised me he will try it. This is because of course I can cook anything (according to him) and make it taste good (he also hates yellow squash..i made ratatouille last week with this in it and he ate it and liked it...hmmm) :) :). I'm serving the pot roast with roasted garlic mashed potatoes (sooo delicious), and I am pretty positive he won't be able to not like it. So I guess my next step to this whole blog thing will be taking pictures and of course uploading them...this will not happen tonight, but I promise one day it will.
