Fancyass Naboo Roast
((Shaker Cranberry Pot Roast. Original recipie found on Food.com and probably seen on Rachel Ray's show or something...this is the dumbed down version for people like me, courtesy of my mom. It's really good though, if you like cranberries.))

2.5 lb chuck roast
half cup to ¾ cup cranberry juice
veal stock (about a cup)
garlic salt
pepper
paprika
olive oil
bay leaf
crock pot

Season the roast with garlic salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub it in real good like. Then, get out a bigass frying pan and put a lot of oil in it, heat it up and sear both sides of the roast. Put the roast in the crock pot. De-glaze the frying pan with cranberry juice"like, keep the heat on and scrape up all the meaty bits off the pan, stir it all up and then pour the juice into the crock pot.

Make veal stock the cheap way by putting a half cube of chicken bullion and a half cube of beef bullion in two cups of boiling water. Stir it up and stuff... Pour a cup of that into the crock pot. You can save your leftover "veal stock" for another time. Freeze it, whatever.

Throw a bay leaf in, put the lid on the crock pot, turn it on low. Cook it for eight hours.

Pull out the roast and drain the juices into a saucepan. Take a can of jellied cranberry sauce and mash it up and melt it into the juices on low heat, high heat, whatever. You're making cranberry gravy stuff with a whisk. Add a little cornstarch to thicken it.

Serve it with mashed potatoes. It's good that way.

Nice

Maybe you should include a nice cherry liqueur to go along with that cigar? Or perhaps some cognac if one can afford it. I think that would make for an end to what sounds like a wonderful dinner.

I just want the mashed potatoes with garlic, mmmmmmm.

True, cognac definitely goes better with cigars, but I try to balance the drink with the meal as the priority. And for me, cognac after cow doesn't sit too well...and probably wouldn't Also wine relaxes me, same for cigars. Slow wine, slow burn...aahhh.

Cognac on the other hand makes me want to jump up and do the Mambo!
