To Pot or Not to Pot that Roast?

Today is the feast day of Saint Ignatius, founder of the Jesuit Order. Just saying. It’s also Avocado Day and Raspberry Cake Day. Again, just saying.

New England Pot Roast Supper with Pot Roast Gravy

One of the things I really like about the internet and social media is the ability to reconnect with people you’ve lost touch with over the years.
