#ugh pot roast is such an expensive meal to master too lmaoooo

[wishingprince]

Ughhhh I’ve been trying to master the pot roast mashed potatoes and gravy. I was feeling really good today because I made really awesome mashed potatoes a month or two ago and the last pot roast I made in December was fall apart out of your mouth yummy so I was like ok I am gonna do them both.

Everything was pretty lackluster. The roast was cooking for 8 hours but I forgot that last time I had it on high for 4 of those hours so it was tougher than last time and not as flavorful because it soaked up less. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and never reached a creamy consistency, the carrots were way too tough and the gravy was just… kind of texturing not flavor.

Ugh I know it’s a step in cooking journeys, I’m just frustrated with myself that I got a little overconfident because of making each of the dishes separately successfully thinking that it would all come together the first time I tried it as a meal. Uuuughhh.

Anyways I’ll try again next month after I lick my wounds about this one.
