I don't recall the recipe in its entirety. This was @ 20 years ago. But basically take the roast from the freezer and put it in the crockpot. Open 2-3 cans of cheap beer. Pour in the beer then add water until about 1 inch above the top of the roast.

The details I don't recall are how many hours cooking on high (overnight??) then how many on low (all day while at work??).

It was cooking meat mixed with the breakdown of the hops, etc. from the beer that made the smell. It stenches for several hours then turns a corner and is "yummy food" again.

Wonderfully simple and very tasty in the end. Tender, juicy meat that shredded with a fork.

But that smell - I simply couldn't face it again. So was a "One Hit Wonder" for me.

Yep it’s the beer. We used to live near Blackburn where there was a Thwaites Brewery. During summer the smell was awful. Warm, stale beer is not pleasant!

I have a day at the computer today. I went through my emails last night. Mercifully only 85 to deal with and only a couple of ones! It shouldn’t be too bad but I would sooner be out on the hill!

I did hun, I hope you did as well. ❤

I wish I could say I did. Oh, well, I get a chance for a do-over tonight.

Oh, the angst of teenaged girls! Their bond was not nearly high enough. They'll both be in jail again. That is, if they're lucky.

Sometimes it takes kids time to learn about life...

Hope you have an amazing morning @Lilianna23

I find cooking for one to be a lifelong journey

Indeed it is! My husband easily ate at least twice what I do so my "large family" cooking wasn't lost on him. I'm going to have to figure out how to not cook for a small army, otherwise, I'll need to get another freezer!

mine got an unexpected reset this summer
options today are ice, edamame, chicken, ice, frozen fruit, ice, and about a half dozen cold packs

Got any ice in there?

Still deep cleaning the house. Going on five months. Keeps my mind busy, and have results to show for it. The good news is, there's always some project or thing to do around the house. This place needs tons of repair. Electrical is a mess. I need to replace a lot of worn out sockets. Then see how hard it is to do drywall repairs. If it's too complicated, I might hire somebody. Better to admit I am not Mr. Handyman, and fuck things up because I watched one YouTube video. Have a great day.

I'm in the midst of a remodeling project. It was conceived and decided on before my husband died. While I'm not doing the actual work, there is a lot to decide and I have made ALL the decisions on the project. It keeps me busy.

Then it will be the holidays. I'm always busy then. I won't get to cleaning closets, etc. till after the Christmas stuff is put away. Probably close to Easter time.

Happy Tuesday!!! Today is Verra Bizzy Day. Work all day and then class. Otherwise, nothing too special. I finally got the punch work going officially yesterday. It wasn't the amount accomplished as much as the start that makes it significant. Maybe not the beginning of the end but certainly the end of the beginning.


Coff is almost done. How did that happen???

It’s good to be busy. Don’t rush the closet clean out. I have been procrastinating on closet clean outs for 2 years!

Good morning Impy and OM. A rainy day is in the forecast. I hope to see my son this afternoon. My granddaughter has the upper respiratory cold that my GF had. It’s going around. .

Slept in so Lilli got away again. Oh there is tomorrow
