Slow Cooker
Oh, goodness. I woke up to a sore throat and pounding headache. It’s going to be 86 degrees (that’s hot here in the Williamette Valley) – being sick in the summer heat is not a recipe for angeliciousness.
Then I went into the garage to get out some chicken for supper – only to find the outside freezer defrosting. A boy didn’t close the door all the way and it sat ajar overnight. AAAGGGHHH. This has happened before, and we had to lock the freezer. We stopped locking it about a year ago (such a pain), but it looks we’ll have to start doing it again. Unlocking and re-locking the freezer helps remind them to make sure the door is shut.
Fortunately, most stuff was OK, but I wasn’t taking chances with the beef roast. Since it’s going to be hot today and I don’t want to be hovering over the stove at the peak of the afternoon heat, I decided to make a family favorite: slow cooker french dip sandwiches. I’m posting the first half right now, just in case you’re in the mood to stick something in the slow cooker.
