@ehBeth,
finished off the Petite Merlot potatoes in what could be called pork roast stew
halved the Petite Merlots
sliced carrot coins
onions cut into 1/8ths
into the crockpot with some veg soup and beef broth and herbs/spices (lots of garlic and chili)
put a small pork roast on top
let everything cook for the day
pulled the pork roast out - put it under the broiler for a few minutes to give it a nice crispy crust
we had slices of pork roast with the veggies and lots of juice to smush them up with - some salad stuff on the side
I'm making myself tea now, though I'm really craving a grape soda or something similar.
