Ohhhh how I wish I had taken my camera with me on Saturday. The meal that escaped was simple. Pot Roast, Baked Beans, and Potatoes. That's it. But it came out SO well. I know this because as everyone ate, the only conversation really going on was the sound of forks on plates, and various slurps, chomps, and lip smacks. Friends who were fortunate enough to take leftovers from the HUGE meal (a few people cancelled, so we had quite the surplus) told me the next day that it went over great on toast for breakfast. I had planned some sort of Po-boy sandwich with my leftovers, but instead, just went old school. I turned mine into a big bowl of shredded beef and bean stew.
It looks like....well, never mind what it looks like! The aroma of smoked bacon, molasses, brown sugar, spices and the unmistakable scent of slow-cooked beef permeated every square foot of my apartment. All combined into a bowl of hearty goodness. You can rest assured that I'll make pot roast, baked beans, and potatoes again, if for no other reason than to explore the seemingly vast leftover possibilities that this culinary combination yields. I should also make the dish again for the photographic opportunities. This is somewhat of a journal in culinary explanation after all, and I am trying to be scientific about it to some degree. .... Or I could just be looking for an excuse to make more pot roast!
446 to go, (just counting the stew here, not the baked beans or pot roast. I'll count those when I have the photos to match!)
