I have been ridiculously absent lately.
I dearly apologize.
My main blog has been calling and I am very sorry.
Can you ever forgive me?
Maybe after making this you will . . .

You will need:

A crockpot!
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
4lb. rump roast
2 tsp. salt (*1 1/2 Kosher)
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2tsp, ground thyme, rosemary (one or the other is fine)
3/4 cup red wine (or marsala, I prefer the latter)
3 tbls. flour
1/8 cup water, 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce or A-1)

Do this:

Chop the onion and garlic, put in the pot and place the roast on top.
We good?
Season with salt, pepper, rosemary & thyme
Pour in the wine (take a sip, if you’d like)
Cover and cook on the High setting for about 5 hours, or until tender
Remove roast to a serving plate and wrap in aluminum foil.
Measure 2 cups of cooking liquid into a saucepan.
Stir together the flour and water and stir it into the cooking liquid.
Bring to a boil, stirring, reduce the heat and simmer for @10 minutes.
Slice the pot roast and serve with gravy.
Be sure to make some MASHED!
Go New Orleans!

Here’s a recipe from a dear friend from Spur, Texas.
My wife made it last weekend and let me tell you it was incredible.

*Pork Roast (any size will do, depending on how much pork you want)
*Vidalia Onions (1 large or two small will be fine. Slice them up)
*One CrockPot
*Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce

*Put roast in crock and toss in onions.
Add enough water to almost cover the roast.
Cook on Low for 6 hours.
Remove roast and onions and drain water.
‘Pull’ meat off the roast (should fall off) and dice onions.
Add meat and onions to crockpot and add several tbls. of water.
Add enough BBQ sauce of choice to cover meat (Sweet Baby Ray’s is preferred)
and simmer for an additional 2 hours on Low.

Grill some fresh buns with butter and serve with fresh coleslaw.
(Add some coleslaw to the sandwich for a Carolina garnish)
Enjoy!

*awesome with coleslaw
