Episode 20: Pot Roast Ala Connie Thomas
This episode is really special for 3 reasons:
-
It's our 20th, which is a huge milestone for a
little internet show that started with 2 people, 1
gchat conversation and a whole lotta gall.
- It co-stars our intern, Emily, who is super fabulous. We love her dearly, even though she left us to finish her senior year of college (ugh). I'm farely certain you guys will love her, too.
- The recipe itself is special to me because it came from a really wonderful lady, Leslie, whose mom used to make it. Leslie has been an E. Bites supporter since it's infancy, and we love her.
Now some important (no, serioulsy this time) notes...
Let's talk about cooking a pot roast for a minute.
Recently I was reading about pot roasts (yes - I do my
homework for this show!) in my
Martha Stewart: Cooking School
book, and I read that in the 3rd hour of cooking the
roast will soak back up some of the juices it ommitted
during the first 2 hours. So, even if your roast looks
and feels done after 2 hours, resist the urge to take
it out of the oven. You'll be rewarded with a juicier
piece of meat.
Last thing: I am completely embarassed by myself in
this video. Please pretend that I didn't say all the
embarassing things I said, OK?
That's all. Happy roasting!
