YUM!

I used a chuck roast, which was a little fatty but still good. And the gravy was a bit too winey so I'd cut that back or out next time. BUT! It was still pretty darn good and a perfect med-rare, which you can't get with a crock pot.

That's

NOT

roast!

Look at it!!! No laces, no sole, no tongue. That is NOT roast!

Oh pooh. You've had any number of my perfectly yummy crockpot roasts that are not dry at all, and you said right on here not too long ago that you didn't even like those all that much.

You just like the sight of rare meat - admit it.

How long did you cook it? I've never seen a medium rare pot roast and thought a rare chuck roast would be tough :shrug:

Did you use a Merlot?

Liar! :tap: I told you all about what grandma did to us with roasts over the years. :yikes: Time and again. You expect me to just shake that off? Act like it never happened!? So, I'm still not over it, OK? I'm working on it. Hell, RED is how I like my meat and you know it! :dye:

BTW, which salt am I supposed to have? With iodine or without???

Seared on both sides for about 5 mins per, then in a 275 oven for 2 hrs, let rest for 20 mins. It wasn't tough at all. It was like a med-rare sirloin - not fall apart, but not tough.

I have never had it. I just Googled it and it sounds delicious. :otter:

It's nice because it has the taste of the cabernet, big, full, without that cab/sov after taste battery acid thing that you winos seem to be attracted to. :lol:

Very much what it sounds like; Big Cab/sov, mellow merlot finish. Drank the whole bottle, last glass for dessert, whereas a cab/sov would have been too much for me by itself.

:otter:

You have had more of my roasts than hers, so you should be over the torment by now.



Either or. Why do you ask?

Because I have without and it makes note of it, that iodine is a necessary part of ones diet. So, what do I know from salt?
:lol:

So, if you were mining salt for the Last Tribe while the others shot zombies, would you make us with iodine or without? :lol:

Iodine is added to salt - the government thought it would be a good way to address the iodine deficiency that Americans seemed to have back in the early 1900s. At this point in our nutritional chapter, we probably don't have to worry about getting enough iodine anymore.

But if you were off shooting zombies and it was up to me to meet our dietary needs, I'd go with iodized salt because, why not?

That's why I asked you; I have no idea. For all I know, it makes us taste better to zombies! :jameo:

Probably makes us taste worse. Very few people have been eaten by zombies since they started adding iodine to our salt. Coincidence?

Iodine is good to maintain a healthy thyroid. Take it from someone with a bum thyroid who has done lots of reading.

Last night I bought those individual juice boxes of wine. :lol:
