Some of you know I was in the hospital a few weeks ago. When I came home, my darling 86 (almost 87) year old mother brought me dinner: pot roast with carrots, onions and potatoes and her awesome home-made gravy. What a delicious treat after the hospital food ... Mom says long, slow cooking is the secret to good pot roast!  I think her secret ingredient is love!

How wonderfully sweet and loving! And I bet it was delicious to eat, too. God bless you and your dear mother. What warm memories this brings back to me---of my own dear Mother who cooked such delightful, simple, nourishing and tasty foods for us to eat. You are right. The secret ingredient was and always will be---a mother's love.

Awww .. thanks, Shan!
No matter how old we get, Mama's comfort foods from our childhood can always help to make things right.

Mmmmm! I love pot roast. This looks delicious. And I'm sure her secret ingredient is love. :)
Marge H. Jul 29, 2009, 3:28pm EDT
Now, I'm hungry for pot roast and I don't have the ingredients to make it. Darn. LOL
Marge H. Jul 29, 2009, 8:00pm EDT
Ended up making a zucchini casserole but I was thinking about that pot roast the whole time. LOL
Sandra H. Jul 29, 2009, 9:52pm EDT
That looks like it was made with love!

Sorry, I haven't read this yet, but I do wonder if your Mama realizes you snuck off with her pot roast. I can see it all. You are thinking about what to make for dinner then decide to ask your Mama if she has any ideas. (This isn't recent, but long ago when you were blonde I think). Well, your Mom was making pot roast. You said, 'I can't stay long. Look at those two redbirds.' Of course your Mama looked at the Redbirds from St. Louis and you had pot roast that evening. Your Mama's a great cook.

I guess I was a very wee bit off.

Yes, your Mom's secret ingredient is so nutritious to the heart. I hope your are feeling good. Take care, rest and get some sunshine.

Oh for sure - made with love - you can't ever top that. Looks like a really wonderful pot roast too.
