A few weeks ago I cooked a pork roast in the crock pot, put a few whole potatoes in the microwave until they were almost done, then cubed them and added them to the pork roast in the crock pot along with a can of golden mushroom soup and tiny carrots.   You could probably also add some peas or tiny onions but I didn't have those.

Or you could cook the roast it in the crock pot then shred it and add barbecue sauce.

Can you tell I'm no gourmet?  Simple is my middle name. 

Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast.  You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.

Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.

Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot.  Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low.  About 8 hours or so.  I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies.

how much you enjoy the squirrels, and how much it pains you to see when one has been run over. Don't mention the incident at all, just talk in general about squirrels. Even if she views squirrels as pests, hopefully your talking to her will make her more aware of them when she is driving.

I love squirrels, too, and fortunately I have never hit one, but I tell you, more than once I have nearly had a wreck trying NOT to hit one. They are tricky little devils!

went in, had cath done and had two 70-75% stenosed arteries, CHF, 10% function and may need a transplant. They stabilized him with meds and he is at home with a cardiac vest. He has not felt well for the past year, but kept putting the doctor visit off. Of course, they told him that had he come in sooner it wouldn't be this bad. Good luck.

So you don't have to worry about trying to get to the other stores before the sale item is gone, bring the ads from the other stores with you. Most store will match the price of other stores if you bring in the ad!! Thus eliminating running all over town in a mad rush.  All you have to do is get to the "sale item" at that store first before it's gone, then you can relax while getting the stuff from the other ads because there'll be plenty of stock cuz it's not on sale there.  It makes it sooo much easier and a lot less stressful.  I hope I worded that so it makes sense. I'm tired.

Or, get together the day before with a few other people who are going. Each of you is designated a different store and picks up what the others want at their designated store.  Then meet for breakfast afterwards to exchange the purchases as well as horror/humor stories from the "adventures." Thus, again, eliminating the "rushing" from one place to another. 

I think I'll stay in and shop online this year.  I heard you can do that for the black friday sales and some store will even let you buy online and pick up at the store. (later, after the rush and madness is over!)  

For the "virgin" poster, beware, some people can be downright mean, nasty, rude and even violent that morning.  Seriously.  Oh, and NEVER leave your cart unattended if you were lucky enough to get one of the "limted amounts per store" items.  People will literally take them right out of your cart if you're not watching. Keep your stuff buried beneath your coat at the bottom of the cart and NEVER let your cart leave your side.  And keep your purse in sight at all times.  If you bring a purse, have it hang in front of you and not on your side.  I like to just keep my money and/or credit card tucked snugly in my front pocket of my jeans and not even bother with a purse.

the tables and chairs.  It is allowed where I live.  I have never seen anyone bring their dog into the grocery store unless it is an assist dog,  I do bring my dog in her stroller into the mall and I have yet to have gotten kicked out over it.  Children LOVE to look at my dog in the stroller. It is the type of stroller that has a screen on it so children can look and parents are not fearful that my dog would bite.  My dog doesn't bite but it's an added precaution. 

In comparison, my dog is friendly, is not a yapper, is well groomed, and potty trained.  I have seen many, many children who are ill behaved, running around uncontrollably and I've several times passed by babies in strollers who smell like their diaper hasn't been changed in a week. 

To the person who supposedly has the severe allergy, I say this...If you have such a severe allergy to dogs, then you most likely have severe allergies to a bunch of other stuff, too, and like the other poster said, you could just as easily be allergic to passing by the perfume counter as you would my 4 lb. chihuahua.

Lastly, to the OP, you need a lesson in manners. Even if you don't agree with the dog being in the store, you shouldn't have gotten ugly with the owner.  She was minding her business, why didn't you just mind yours?
