Sorry guys. I was trying to be funny. I thought everyone knew the ending to this story.
For the sake of others I will delete my post. You will have to edit yours to remove my quote.
I blew off my fence building project to go fishing this morning, and Narcos Season 2 this afternoon. Not even a nibble on the lake, but the show was great. And I trimmed the hedges.
What a truly amazing feat that he led. Less than three years to design and construct that aircraft...using pencils and slide-rules!!!! The 747 changed the world! Respect.
Just finished the most delicious pot roast ever! Thanks for the braizing advice Jim! Here is the recipe:

The only thing I did different was oregano instead of Bay leaves and I added no water. All herbs fresh from my garden. Seared the meat in the pot and deglaze with red cooking wine. Simmered for 6 hours. Strained and thickened the gravy with a little corn starch.
Stupid me can't remember the cut of meat though. 4 pound loin of some sort? Definitely not chuck. It was very lean, which made for nice slicing, yet fork tender. Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow!
Chef, serious question about braizing: I have a large nonstick metal crockpot, which I plan to sear in. I should deglaze the pot before adding any liquid and ingredients, right? Or should I sear the meat in a different pan?
