So off topic now lol.

You guys go ahead and eat your expensive unhealthy slop.
I'm not gonna spend $2/lb on bones skin and fat when I can get healthy quality food for less than half that.
MMMmmm organic banana for $0.69/lb.

Meat is free, go learn how to make a snare. I find placing them on animal runs or outside schools provide the fastest results.

Not to spoil anyone's appetite, but why does the finished pic look like someone vomited on it?

As a member of the Federal Pot Roast Inspection Board I must warn you that we will be visiting your house to inspect your pot roast today between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

The inspection may require several samplings.

Looks tasty. Next time you might consider making gravy from the leftover liquid in the crock pot.

Basically, you make a roux (butter and flour) and add in broth from pot.

Looks very tasty.

There is a bit too much mustard on there for my taste, and you should add more beef or veggie stock next time. :D

that's just horseradish mustard. I am not a skilled enough artist to make it look good.

I am not a big gravy fan. I have done it before when I had people over, but for just me, it's not necessary.

I can't imagine making a roast with water.
I like using half beef stock and half red wine.
So much more flavor.

12$ can get me 50lbs of food.

I don't pay for the internet.
Or any utilities for that matter.

Curious... what the hell can you buy 50lbs of with $12? Shit, Walmart dog food is something like $20 for 40lbs.

Bout the only thing I can figure is potatoes... that's it.

Funny thing is I actually do know how to make traps.
All you would catch here are raccoon, opossum, and cats.

Absolutely not worth it.
Especially since Americans get butt hurt if you eat cat (or dog).

Try mixing beef and chicken stock, good mix of earthy/salty.
Could do 1/3 each with wine as well.

i prefer the water.

besides I had potatoes, carrots, onions and mushrooms. The beef combined with regular seasoning and the horseradish mustard gave an amazing flavour and a nearly black liquid for gravy when done. But like I said I am not a gravy person.

I bought two roasts at the market last night -- they're buy one, get one free at QFC. I usually do them with carrots, onions and celery with a packet of onion soup mix and a half cup of water. Might try the wine idea this week.

Can add some celery to that to complete the flavor circle.
