LONG Day

Hey ya’ll! I have had an awfully long day today:( The BIG TEST was this afternoon and it was just as bad as we all expected. No one felt good about it. I knew those chapters so well and they make the most random test questions that I wouldn’t have known even if I studied more! I hate that! Well, at least all my classmates felt the same way! They keep telling us, it doesn’t matter what your test grades are, just learn and understand the material. Well that’s all fine and good but when you have to keep a B average to stay in the program, then you have to worry about grades to some extent… Ahh, I digress. Not looking forward to finding out what grade I made.

 

On to happier things… it was SO nice to come home from such a long day to dinner already cooked! As I mentioned in my earlier post, I had a pot roast cooking away all day in my slow cooker!!

I bought these liners to try out today… anyone ever use them?? Love the idea but I felt like my meat and veggies kind of had a “plasticy” taste. Made me kind of weary to try them again!! Great idea though!

Here’s the liner in the slow cooker… simple enough!!

I then chopped up an onion, some red potatoes, and carrots and put them in the bottom of the slow cooker. I also added 1/2 cup H20 to the veggies.

I also browned the meat on both sides (seasoned with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper) before placing on top of the veggies. This picture lighting makes the meat look funny! I promise it looked normal! Haha.

Here’s the final product! Yummy! I cooked it on low for 10 hours and the pot roast was so moist! Looking forward to these leftovers!!

 

I may or may not have had some more ice cream after dinner ;)

 

I watched a new show called Trauma tonight and really liked it!! I am loving all the new medical shows on TV! Anyone else watch this tonight??

 

Well I am hoping for a nicer, more relaxing day tomorrow but I doubt that will happed! Goodnight!
