Pot roast (night #7)

We're on a three dinner winning streak--the baked fish, baked chicken, and now the pot roast (USDA guide, p. 21) were all great. Egg noodles, peas and carrots, orange slices, and left-over peach cake accompanied tonight's dinner.

Everything tonight was easy to make. The chuck roast for the pot roast got browned and then simmered for two and a half hours. The egg noodles were boiled for ten minutes; the peas and carrots were microwaved for about three, and did I mention that we had left-over peach cake.

We'll get left-over pot roast for the upcoming week. The rest of the menu is as follows:
