Cookin'

Weee! Got to cook again today. It's been too long.

Started with a chuck roast, a really big one, and studded it with slivers of garlic. Kosher salt and pepper got rubbed in, then it got stuck in a teaspoon of olive oil and butter mixed in a large skillet. While it browned, I roughly chopped up carrots. Once everything was browned up, I put the roast into a big roasting pan and stuck the carrots in the skillet to clean it out. A bit of butter and garlic helped them brown too, then they went into the roasting pan with the meat. Skillet got deglazed with chicken stock and white wine, and then all the liquids went into the pan. Threw in some fresh rosemary branches, then lidded it with some foil, put it in a 350 degree oven for about 5 hours. By the time it comes out it should be nice and garlic-and-rosemary flavored and with a texture like butter.

The bad news: I won't have it for lunch tomorrow, 'cause I'll be at skoo! Ah well, as big as the roast is, there should be leftovers for tuesday.
