Wednesday ~ For the Love of a Roast

Katheryn spent this past weekend with me, since the rest of the family was gone at a Civil War reenactment. And let me let you in on my secret that's not really a secret, and that is that I don't like to cook. Or bake. Or really do anything in the kitchen. Which is unfortunate, since I love to eat.

But Katheryn, on the other hand, loves to cook, loves to bake, loves being in the kitchen...and she also loves to eat. Wow, can't you just see the team spirit happening between us?

Katheryn arrived at my front door Friday evening with several bags of delicious items specifically geared towards making our weekend a foodie paradise to remember! Yes, now you can see why she's my best friend. Just kidding.


Amidst the flat of fresh-picked strawberries from the local strawberry stand, a half gallon of ice cream, and a few other food wonders, there was...a roast. 

 I love roast. 


And so, Saturday morning found us together in the kitchen, filling my baby crock pot up with potatoes, carrots, seasonings and of course, the roast. 

Actually, Katheryn filled the crock pot. I just took pictures.


 That evening, she and I shared a lovely roast dinner sitting at my dining room table, with the setting sunshine brightening the room. It was delicious. I think I'm going to really love my crock pot!


Thanks, Ryn, for coming over and spending the weekend with me! Having you there made it feel a bit more like a real Home. Come anytime. 

And of course, feel free to bake in my kitchen anytime you want!

  2. Looks like you guys had a fantastic meal! I love crock pots, you can make meals that taste like you've slaved over them all day, but really you just spent 5 minutes in the morning throwing everything in! =)

    1. Katysue, you have just summed up my very reason for using a crock pot! Excellent means...that I barely had to do anything to make! :D

  3. I'm with you on that one, Kellie, there is nothing better than an Angus beef roast (unless, of course, it's an Angus steak)! Glad to hear someone else loves beef like me. Us beef lovers seem to be getting rarer (no pun intended!) these days. :)

  7. I'm learning a lot about Katheryn's servant heart through your posts. I like that pic you took of her. You'll be a good matchmaker ;) for her when you find the perfect guy!
