buy a chuck roast.  try not to get confused at the difference between "chuck roasts", "pot roasts", and "rump roasts".  poke some holes in it with a fork.  stick some garlic in the holes.  put it in your crackpot.  add some baby carrots and cut-up potatoes.  cover everything with beef broth.  turn it on and let it cook all day.

come home from work and thank almighty god that you don't have to cook that evening.

i was going to try this recipe my dad sent me for his pot roast (which is delicious!) (hi, dad!) but instead of beef broth, he uses coffee.  how genius is that?  but we didn't have any coffee.  bummer.
