i was busy trying to get sheet rock and 2x3x8's into the basement today, so i just tossed a bunch of stuff into the crock pot. it was pretty good.
in went browned pork chops, browned beef flap steaks, whole shallots, whole criminis, red onion, celery, asparagus, baby carrots, a rome apple, a granny smith apple, apple cider, dried savory, dried thyme, fresh sage, and fresh rosemary.
the pork chops were dry, but the sweet and savory gravy made them edible. the flap steaks, mushrooms, and shallots were awesome!
