I’ve waited as long as I can.

I just had to go and pull the carrots!!!

Here’s what I pulled from 3 squares in the garden.  There were some itty-bittys (that I ended up munching on), and some larger ones that I threw into the slow cooker with tonight’s dinner.  

Sweet, crisp and simply delicious!

Tonight’s dinner is a simple beef roast with carrots from the garden, celery and some spices. I plan to strain and save the juices for beef stock.

I bought a 2.4 lb. top round roast when it was on sale for $1.99/lb (reg. $3.99/lb) a few weeks ago. I let it thaw in the fridge and then added it to the slow cooker after breakfast. Easy as that!

And since we can’t/won’t eat 2.4 lbs of beef in one meal, I plan to use half for this meal and the other half soon!
