I did it!

I made pot roast! I know this doesn't sound amazing, but trust me it is. I don't cook, never have. I make ramen noodles and mac & cheese and thats about it. September 7 was my little bros b-day and my family was all coming over for dinner. I'm pretty sure they're not ever excited about coming to my place for dinner since I usually don't have a meal planned. It ends up being pizza, or one time I made pancakes...woo hoo! So imagine their shock when they arrived to find pot roast, gravy and real mashed potatos. I like to think they were proud of me. I'm pretty sure they liked it too since they all went back for seconds. This great acomplishment could of never been done without a lot of help, of course. So thank you soooo much Mariel for the detailed instructions and the many phone conversations walking me through it.
