Who Turned OFF the Crockpot?!

So we were expecting company on Sunday after church. I get up extra early and get a roast going in one crockpot and just before we leave for church I start another crockpot with potatoes in it (suppose to be a pretty "potato roast" but later turned into mashed potatoes with thyme and shallots). Everything should be perfectly done when we got home from church right? Wrong! Why? One word: JACK. I left the crockpots close to the edge of the counter where Jack can reach the knobs and apparently when we weren't looking he turned the beef roast OFF and the potato roast to HIGH. So we came home to mushy potatoes and raw beef. Off to the local cafe we went. The roast and now mashed potatoes were good for supper though... and even better today.

Today I reheated the roast for supper and added flour and eggs to the shallot & thyme mashed potatoes and made potato cakes. The boys loved it. They went so far as to say that it was the best potatoes they ever ate. Maybe not the healthiest lol but the best!

That boy of yours is a riot, although I am sure there are days you don't think it is that funny! You REALLY need to start writing this stuff down and publish it!
