I have an eye roast recipe that's easy

Eye Round Roast (average size)

Sauce:

1 tbl crushed garlic (or a few cloves if you use fresh)

1/4 c veg oil

1/4 c of soy sauce

2 tbl of vinegar

1/4 c of honey (i've also used brown sugar, but that burns easy)

1 tsp of ginger

Mix the sauce and pour it over the roast.  I've also seared the roast before adding the sauce and then cook in oven around 350 or you can do this in a slow cooker.

The sauce is tasty and I think the vinegar tenderizes the meat.  I'll slice it down when it's down and add the slices back to the sauce.

Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
In a food processor, combine the peppercorns, garlic, and cloves and puree. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a paste is formed. Using a rubber spatula, scrap the garlic paste into a small bowl.

Place the pork butt on a work surface and season all over generously with salt. Rub all over with the garlic paste. Place in an oven-safe roasting bag and close with a twist tie. Place in a large roasting pan, and cook until tender, about 5 hours.

when I wasn't paying attention.  He even put in parsnips - my favorite part. 

Good hubby.

I'm thinking of doing a goose Christmas Eve - will be a first though.  Usually do spiral hams, but I get one for the days while the kids are off instead and do the prime rib for Christmas Day and usually have shrimp cocktail as well. 

YUMMMM!

Are you browning/searing it before you do any cooking with it?  That sometimes can make a difference - even if you're going to put it in the crockpot or cook it in the oven.  Try searing it in a pan with a little bit of olive oil and then putting it in the oven or crockpot.  This gives it another layer of flavor with the carmelization on the outside, but it also helps keep the juices in.

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.    

Don't rush into anything, and don't let him pressure you into moving faster than you are comfortable with. After all, if you do get together, hopefully you will have a lot of happy years ahead of you. There's no need to rush things in the beginning.

I have been married for a long time to the same man (never divorced) but if we had taken more time in the beginning, we probably never would have gotten married. Outside circumstances kind of put us in a "do or die" position.

We had a lot of unhappy years, especially in the beginning. So the one thing I always advise anyone who is contemplating marriage and/or a serious relationship is take your time.

And good luck!

In a blender:  1 lg can whole tomatoes, 1-3 serrano peppers (sometimes even 1 is very hot, just depends on peppers at the time), Black pepper, Garlic Salt, Salt, and just a little Comino or Cumin (I have been told they are the same and I have tried them side by side and can't tell the difference.)  Blend and season to taste.  It will take more salt than you might think and just add a little by little of ingredients until you get it just like you like it.  My friends have always had to make a couple before getting it seasoned just right.  My bunco group requires this every month.

Or this Pico Salsa:  4-6 tomatoes diced, 1 onion diced, 3-6 serrano peppers diced very small, cilantro chopped added to your taste, and 1 fresh lime squeezed for juice.  Season with Black Pepper, Salt, Garlic Salt all to taste and about 4 shakes of Worchestershire sauce.  This is great pico for eating with chips or added with many dishes.  My family prefers this at every gathering.

This is all with Texas preferred heat, so you may want to cut down on the peppers and it all depends on how hot the peppers are that day.  The sauce and pico will get hotter over night, so be careful.  If your pico gets too hot, try adding tomatoes to cool it off.  Hot sauce requires adding more whole tomatoes to cool off but then you have to adjust your seasonings all over again.

Some guys are good dads - willing to pitch in and help take care of the child's needs, and give it plenty of time and attention.

There are quite a few guys out there that like the IDEA of a child - as long as it doesn't cramp their style.  This means it all devolves upon the mother - care of the child 24/7, criticism from him and his family if you aren't doing it their way, but of course any bragging rights are all theirs.

Then there are the demands of academia - when your child gets sent home with a backpack full of paperwork to review on a nightly basis, whose job will that be?

Another thought is the possibility of divorce down the road - what happens then?  Quite a few dads who let mom do all the work suddenly become superdad when the thought of child support comes along, and they will do anything to win custody so that YOU have to pay THEM.  Even if you win custody, the head games with visitation schedules, daddy's new girlfriend pushing her way into the picture, etc. never end.

Be careful.  Having a baby to stroke a man's ego can get very messy very fast.  Its a huge responsibility and too often the mother does all the work and the father takes all the credit.  Take the worst case scenarios into consideration before you decide.
