Crockpot Fail (almost)
Ooops. I didn't actually calculate the time that I would be out of the house and therefore the time that the pot roast would be in the crockpot. I mean, you just throw stuff in the crock pot, magic happens, and then you get dinner.
Unless you happen to be out of the house for... 14 hours.
I hadn't actually calculated the time the food would actually be in the crock (5:00am - 7:00pm). As a result, the pot roast isn't bad, but it doesn't look pretty. Everything is sort of the same shade of brown. The top of it got a little dry (I didn't brown the meat before putting it in), and some of the baby carrots are unrecognizable, but it's otherwise perfectly acceptable for my lunch and dinner for the next couple days. I just wouldn't serve it to anyone else because it looks unappetizing.
