MOVING ON FROM BEAUTY PRODUCTS

This is 'crock pot' season (even in the deep south).  I found this recipe and tried it... WOW!  My husband loved it.  I know it has some odd ingredients, but they combine wonderfully. And the chuck roast is one of the reasonably priced cuts.


If you try it, let me know what you think.
