Crock Pot

A few Sundays ago I decided that I would make a roast. I pulled out a large frozen roast from our freezer, set it on the counter, and then proceeded to prepare the crock pot. I threw in a couple cans of cream of mushroom soup, a pack of onion soup mix, some Worcestershire sauce, water, onions, garlic and some other spices. I mixed it all together in preparation for the meat. Even though the roast was frozen solid I figured the crock pot could handle it on a low heat over 5-6 hours. I went to set the roast into the pot. I put it in one way and it barely fit but I thought that if I could turn it sideways I could have more of the meat submerged in the liquid. The only problem was the roast, being frozen solid, was just barely to big. Being that I spend hours per day in the gym I thought my man muscles could gently force the meat down into the pot. So I pushed. It started to budge....put then stopped. So I pushed harder. Thats when it happened. All of a sudden the roast was in the bottom of the pot and I was completely covered in roast mix. I had cream of mushroom chunks in my hair and there was stuff all over the ceiling, walls, floor, my clothes, etc. I didn't realize it until I looked at the source of my mess but my pushing of the frozen roast caused the ceramic crock pot to crack in half. Although impressed with my mammoth strength Petrea was not happy with the loss of her long time friend....hence the no pics. Moral of the story......thaw large chunks of meat instead of forcing solid ones into cooking devices that are too small.
