I made a wonderful pot roast today, complete with potatoes, carrots, onions and mushrooms. It simmered in the crock pot for about 10 hours and made the house smell heavenly.
Huck, who never voluntarily eats anything that isn't sugared and processed, ate an entire plate full and asked for seconds. Lina, who will normally eat everything that doesn't eat her first, said "Uhm, yeah, Mama, for future reference...I hate roast".
However, the leftovers of that very roast will be frozen and used in a soup in the near future, and she will love it at that point because she adores my soup made from leftover roast. Huckleberry on the other hand, despises soup and will not eat a bite of it, roast or no roast.

If only leftovers could be sent via internet cause your roast sounds great to me.

PS my 9yo pretty much hates soup too
See how it is?
Ever use the "there are starving children in (fill in the country of your choice here)?"
"I'm sorry dear, it isn't your turn to like dinner."
Despite my best efforts, my kids are picky eaters and it drives me crazy.
The starving children thing doesn't work. My mother always tried it on me. I would tell her to send them my dinner then. I would then have NO dinner, but I wasn't going to eat it anyhow.
I know, I was a brat. But, I hated soup beans. The brown soupy simmered all day beans. Today, I'd give a left kidney for a pot of those beans. Then refry them and make some tacos. mmmm. Can you tell I'm starving. Been to the dentist and still can't feel my face. Who knows when I'll be able to eat again. Hmmm, pot roast.
