The next day.

     Saturday reared like it often does.  I've decided to treat myself on the weekends.  1 cup of coffee and something fun for breakfast.  Discovered that I thoroughly enjoy an egg on a bagel.  No not just that.  But this isn't really a food blog and we'll have food aplenty in this one entry.

     I took the meat which I defrosted in a big red bowl and put it on the counter.  I was very much scowling, this was not stew meat.  But I bought it and continued.  

     To say that the flouring and browning of each and every individual piece was a mind numbing chore.  That would be appropriate.  As each slice had to be done individually, I was more and more sure that this wasn't going to be great.  And I'd not allotted enough time to check on the herbs for seasoning.  It was getting late, I wanted this to be ready for 6 at night.  Needed 10 hours on high.  So had to be good to go by 8.  
     
     By the by, I'm writing this a week later on a Saturday and enjoying my cup of coffee.  Just saying.

     Quartered potatoes, halved carrots, browned meat, deglazed pan, into crock pot.  Used a boxed beef broth.  Only seasoning was the flour and the clove of garlic I put in.

     Brother in law visited sister, who was in ICU.  More so they could keep an eye on her blood sugar more than anything else.  It was over 700.  

     Course the 3 steroid shots and the near six pack of soda on way to hospital and in E.R. didn't help.  Oh well.
