Nice. You using sweet or hot sausage?
What is this sweet sausage you speak of? How can Italian Sausage be sweet? And more importantly, why?

Yep, sweet. MFR is not fond of spicy and I can add crushed red peppers to mine.

Starting the pasta water now. It is not Bolognese, but it is a nice ragu. Serving it over good quality Italian Mezzi Rigatoni.

Instant pot pot roast. But today is my fast day. I'll be eating it tomorrow, my zero-carb day.

Thanks for the link.
Quiche was quite good here - I added some Worchestershire, as I commented, but no onion. And was generous with the nutmeg.
Very fine.

Horace, can you expand on that?
You do one day no carbs, is that for weight loss (and I'm not kidding, this time), or is it a partial Jordan Peterson diet?
I could easily go on a no carb diet. It is tough though, chunk of meat just doesn't seem complete without fries or something.
OK, back to the show-off complicated recipe stuff, full of good food made from spices I've usually never heard of.

It's just for weight loss. Also somehow the asceticism of a day of no food appeals to me, though I am a little irritable and uncomfortable those days. The following morning, I am glad I did it. Feels pretty good. I have been known to steal downstairs to the kitchen at midnight to get a little food so I can get to sleep though. Those are failures, but still within the rules. I prefer to get a full night's sleep on the empty stomach.

I once did a long term low carb diet and was very successful with it. The magic of them is that after the first few days, it becomes easy to stick to them because you do not feel hungry, or cravings. At least I didn't.

How do you think spicy would work with it? I have quite a lot to use up...

Perfectly. I prefer hot Italian, but not MFR. I put significant red peppers in mine.

Good. I also have a decent amount of spicy sausage to use up. That’s why I was asking.

this pot roast is tasty. i used mccormick's pot roast seasoning. And a USDA prime roast from costco. I think that's all they had. Not sure grade matters for a roast.

You raise a good point. Not sure why one would want more fat in a pot roast. I would think leaner would be better. I always have to separate the gravy before serving.

I made a slow-cooker roast with a pretty lean piece of meat. Didn't care for it at all. I use a chuck roast now.
