Earlier this evening, I made a great dinner!

I picked up a small pork roast a while back and tossed it in the freezer. I
pulled it out a few days ago to thaw out in the fridge, but that evening it
was still frozen in the middle, so I made something else. This morning,
though, I noticed it was still almost solid in the middle, so I tossed it on
the counter. Hooray for it being thawed out for supper...
I, as always, had to call my mom and ask the same questions... How long to
cook it, what temp, when to put the potatos and carrots in, and so on.
She told me about 30 mins per lb, and this was about a pound or so, so salt,
pepper, season it whatever way, toss it in the oven, covered, at 350F with
some water. Turn it over after about half an hour, drain the juices out of
it (for gravy) and toss the carrots and potatos in. It seems, though, that
every time I've attempted a roast, it gets so darn dried out - today,
though, I put in a bit more water than the little bit I normally put in...
Boy was it actually tender and juicy today!

B made an attempt at seconds, A had seconds and so did I. I might even heat
a plate up in a bit for a small snack, or maybe a nice cold roast sandwich
and heat what's left up for supper tomorrow (as per B's request earlier
today)

Good supper, I actually ate a lot, and although this is pointless, I felt
the need to share. It was a good, healthy meal that didn't take too long,
and it was cheap. I think I paid like $5 for the roast, as it was on sale
when I bought it last week Not to mention it's still good for another
meal and a snack or two lol

mmmmmmm I love a good pork roast ! Sounds like you have the" how to
"prepare figured out, congrats!

How are you these days Kat? Getting ready for the new delivery I
see..... I read about the preparations you have been making. I returned
from Texas on the 19th and left again on the 21st-24th for a camping
trip with Mari and Jaime...my daughter and her friend bailed out last
minute on us ;-( they lost out as far as I am concerned ! We had a
really wonderful time, camping on the beach, we have some great
pictures of the wild ponies and we went down to the boardwalk in Ocean
City one night, definately doing this again next year! This trip was
too short! I'll update my moms story in another post........
