The end?

I turned the big 3-2 yesterday and my last minute gift to myself was taking the day off.

We start moving tomorrow, so this is MOST likely the last crock until we pack up everything (again) and U-haul it to our new dwelling.

What fun things are in Brad's pantry? Day 32.

~2 beef steaks (From the 1/8 of a cow. One was a rib cut and the other was a porterhouse.)

~1 bunch fresh asparagus (I bought this.)

~1 t Mr Stubbs Hickory liquid smoke (This was hiding, so I was shocked to see that it doesn't expire until 2014.)

~1 t lemon juice 

~1 t balsamic vinegar

~3 slices of bacon, cooked.

~3 small russett potatoes. (I bought these.)

Add beef to crock pot.

Surround beef with asparagus.

Pour liquid smoke over beef.

Pour lemon juice and vinegar over asparagus.

Place bacon on top of beef.

Place potatoes on top of everything.

Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.

2 servings.

This had a nice flavor, but was kind of greasy (probably because I didn't brown it first), so it doesn't land in our favorites pile. Other than some beef liver that I am too much of a pansy to try, the 1/8 of a cow in Brad's freezer is GONE.

You're welcome.
