The small end of a whole eye of round this time , prolly 2 1/2 lbs ,
browned in olive oil in a screamin' hot CI frying pan - coincidentally
the same one I used last night for burgers and onions/shrooms - deglazed
with red wine and water , some really nice stuff . I added some taters
and carrots around 4 , gonna let it simmer until it's tender then turn
that au jus into gravy , some of which is sure to land on a slice of
that fresh bread I baked this morning . I rarely mention it , but almost
everything I cook is seasoned with a varying mix of
salt/pepper/onion/garlic . Sometimes the onion and garlic are fresh ,
sometimes powdered or minced/dried . This "roast" is no exception , I
used salt and pepper , powdered garlic and dried minced onions .

Yes , I'm old
and crochety - and armed .

Sounds very tasty and garlic really does add flavor to what can be a boring
piece of meat. I have been known to sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the
meat before putting the lid on and letting the crockpot do its magic. Gives
the gravy a smidge of 'body.'

He needn't forget the "white bread" version. They're probably both
good.

I don't know why you love that Penzey's adobo seasoning so much. I have
a jar of it and it's just OK. I do better putting together other herbs
and seasonings myself for something like pork chops or pork tenderloin.

I'm sure your meal will taste good. Just not a fan of that adobo.

There are many definitions of "adobo". dsi1 is of the opinion that
adobo is Filipino. I think of it as having origins in Spanish cuisine.
Sheldon is talking about a spice rub bought from Penzey's.

Make your own adobo spice blend:

Salt, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, oregano, cumin, garlic
powder, and chili powder.

If I was a woman from S. America, and my husband served me a pork chop with this "stuff" sprinkled on it and told me it was adobo, I'd split his head open with my trusty machete.

You're obviously a typical violent pacific islander. I've no doubt
whatsoever that the ukelele POS is the ultimate racist. Hawaii was
made a state for one reason and and one reason only, militarily.
Hawaiins are the worst of the worst bigots.

No doubt I'm a very bad person. You, OTOH, sound like you got your feelings hurt. That's just creepy. If you continue to act that way, I'm not going to be able to trade insults with you anymore.

And furthermore, try to keep your pronouns straight. That's just weird.

I heard that same joke on tv years ago. In that one, it was toss
up a handful of silverware and name your child from the sounds
they make landing on the floor. Oh well.

It is hard for a normal person to imagine someone being so desperate for
attention.

My granddaughter was given a name by her Dad's mom. It's some kind of Hawaiian custom and the name was supposed to drop from the heavens. It took some time for the name to drop but if finally came to her in a dream. The name is so long that it wouldn't fit on her Social Security card. That's the breaks.

It's not that difficult to filter them out or just plain stop replying
to them. I rarely see these posts until you folks reply.

Back on topic, I like cooking a chuck roast in the crock pot. :) I have
one in the freezer I may cook this weekend.

Sorry, but I don't think it's a bit cute to to write fake posts using
someone's name and forging email addresses.

How many of those troll posts I allegedly wrote did you fall for? I
never owned an Aunt Jemima Cookie Jar and neither did my mother. You
fell for it. And no, Persia never jumped on my kitchen countertops.
You fell for that, too.

I did not decide to adopt another cat to be a companion for Buffy. Fake
posts, all. What's the fucking point?! These people must be incredibly
bored.

I agree. Gary has a perverted idea of what "teasing" is. He also
thinks "Stevers" has been teasing him all these years.

Jill, I don't know about imposters being incredibly bored, but it IS spring break at some
schools...colleges and comm. colleges...this week, and probably last week, too. But
of course, the "pranksters," are always around. :-((

Very true. For many years now, especially since ISPs quit
providing Usenet, anytime I mention it I usually get a blank
stare. They have no idea what it is...never even heard of it.
It's all Facebook and Google Groups now.

For another blank stare, just mention Telnet. lol

Steve doesn't tease. He's earned my respect for his knowledge in
several areas over many years. No need to be jealous, Bruce. I
talk to you too even though you haven't earned any respect here
yet, imo. :)

At this point Blake (deceased) would have chimed in about my mentioning
Spring Break and college students. Heh

I never actually went on "Spring Break" with a bunch of college age
people but I'd have to hope they had better things to do than create a
bunch of forged posts on RFC. If not, how lame.
