Yum-O

I hate when Rachel Ray says that. But here's the thing. I made a pot roast in the slow cooker today, and that's what I said. Yum-O.

I got the crock pot for my birthday last November. Today is the first time I used it. The last time I tried to make pot roast (almost 3 years ago), I did it in the oven, and the guy I was dating at the time said it was like shoe leather (he was right, but boyfriends should know that the only appropriate response to girlfriends' cooking is, you guessed it, yum-o). Anywho, the pot roast was not like shoe leather and I am very full and very happy.

Earlier today, I got to hang out with my friend, B., who lives in Washington, and the guys from sixth grade. (You saw their picture back in July) B was in town for his grandfather's funeral, so not an entirely happy occasion, but a nice surprise for me. I suppose this is part of growing up...that the only time you see old friends is weddings, funerals, and class reunions. Bummer.

I'm glad it's the weekend, but this is going to be a busy one. Soooo much to do!
