Slow Cooker Pork Roast

How can you know love a crock pot meal?  Get a hunk of meat, season it up, chuck it in the crock pot with a bunch of veggies, add some more seasoning and some stock, turn it on low and walk out the door.  When you get home from work, presto!  Dinner is ready!

I had high hopes for this roast, but it turned out to be too dry for me.  It was really tasty, so I had the seasonings spot-on, but I just couldn’t get past how dry it was.  Boo.

Oh well, maybe next time.  If  you want the recipe, click on the image.  Any suggestions for not drying out the roast are welcome.

In other news, holy crap do I have a serious case of camera envy.  It’s bad, people.  Really bad.

This is the Canon Rebel XS.  It’s a digital SLR (single lens reflex) camera and about a billion times better than my point-and-shoot Olympus.  The Rebel would allow me to take some seriously bad-ass pictures of, well, anything.  It’s pretty pricey, so that’s my biggest hold-up at the moment. 

 

Maybe I’ll magically win the lottery without buying a ticket?

For the record, my untested ideas for awesome pork roast: Layer of fingerling potatoes in bottom of crock pot. Seasoned pork roast on top of that. Rashers of bacon on top of that. Partially cover roast with stock. Throw some whole garlic and tyme sprigs in there. Layer of dried beans with enough water or stock to cook plus some extra. Seasoned roast on top. Bacon on top of that. Brown sugar on top of that. We're going to keep trying until we get it right, dammit! :-D
