As for how to do it, that is if you go the pig route, make sure it is a pig roaster (huge) and have some one who knows what they are doing cook it. It takes quite a long time to cook 12+ hours or more, cannot remember if they started it the night before or not (our old neighborhood had one every year). Or if you don't want the trouble just say you are having a big cookout, go with corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni salad, potato salad, etc. Obvious have everyone bring a dish if possible. If you know any with Sirius or the other satelite radio you can get some great music. We did both records/CDs and a live band at our pig roast and the annual crab feast. Yum! Had a lot of fun when we lived there.

Roast with potatoes and carrots in the crock pot-good warmed over later.

LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

There's nothing to pot roast
You put the roast in the crock pot in the morning and forget about it. At about 4:00 put the potatoes and carrots in with the meat and it's done about 1 1/2 hours later. That's it. Easy as pie. I work and have kids also. But it can be done if you pick the right stuff.
Pig roast
Here, out in the boonies in PA, we call the local pig farmer who comes out the night before with the roaster, the pig and all the other stuff. He sets it all up for you. All you have to do is turn it now and then. Costs about $200.00. Maybe the organizer of the last pig roast could supply you with how they did it. We just add baked potatoes, corn on the cob, get every one to either bring a side dish or dessert, tap the keg, turn up the music and Partaaayyy....
Pot roast
Hi there,
Here is my pot roast recipe for crock pot. I dust it with flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper, brown it in a skillet, then place it in the crockpot with potatoes, carrots, celery, more garlic and pepper and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours on low. It is so delicious!!
Hey, besides transcribing I am also a travel agent. It is fabulous all the perks we get, check out my site at www.manzotravel.com and if you are interested go to www.teamresult.com and watch the short video. Now we get commission on our travel and vacation instead of Orbitz or Expedia!!!
roast beef
I have found the less water you use in the crock pot the better off the roast will be. It makes moisture of its own. I usually just add about 1/4 cup of robust red wine, some seasonings and let it go.
I also roast them with a bit of a twist
Get some Ranch dressing mix, sprinkle a little bit of the dry mix in with the olive oil...most anyone likes ranch anymore and it really adds a kick to them.
Good luck!
Roast with potatoes and carrots,
Love my crock pot!
On the menu...pork roast w/
mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. The pork roast is in the crock pot slow roasting all day while I work my fingers to the bone!! It will be served with homemade mashers with brown gravey and mixed veggies.uuuummmmm!! Can't wait til dinner. ;)
Starbucks Italian Roast for me, although
I am trying to wean myself off that and onto Pierce Brothers Free Trade Coffee. The Red Eye is a hearty blend, so I may be able to do it--if I take it slowly. I'm hooked...
Good for you...I've been there!
I was an IC for over 20 years. I was fortunate in one way, I lived in a small rural town with quite a scarcity of qualified MTs. Anyway, the third account I took on was a solo FP who told me upon receipt of his first bill (and having signed a contract agreeing to the rates) that he really couldn't justify paying that to someone "who isn't a professional." This is the same guy who sent me a ticked-off note because he didn't like the font I was using. Needless to say, I wished him the best of luck finding a replacement and I shut the door on that one quickly. Glad I did. I had to decide what my bottom line was and stick to it, and over the years it has only paid off to do that. Though I will admit it can feel scary to pull the plug on a paycheck!
Best of luck to you!
Roast, potatoes, and carrots in the crock pot...yum!

Pork Roast "partial" recipe because I
usually never measure anything, just eyeball the ingredients, but here goes.
It all goes by taste...like it spicy? add more hot pepper. Like it sweeter? Add a bit more brown sugar.
I marinate my pork roast and/or ribs in apple juice and a little bit of apple cider vinegar (not much...you want to taste the apple, not vinegar), for 24 hours. The vinegar helps tenderize
Then I mix a combination of dark brown sugar, white sugar, a little crushed or ground red pepper or smoked cayenne pepper (regular is okay if you don't have the smoked), a little cinnamon (not much of this either or it will overpower the other seasonings), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, a little cumin and nutmeg powder (for smokiness) . I mix all this together and rub it into the roast. I use my stovetop smoker or rotisserie to cook the roast.
For the cinnamon is about a tsp, or what fits in the palm of your hand when you curve your hand (not piled high either), The cumin and nutmeg is really a large "pinch."
Maybe some day I will figure out the true measurements, but I've been doing this for years and just know by looking how much of each ingredient is necessary. After a few times, you'll be able to tell how much of each ingredient to use for your taste.
Pork Roast Grill Recipe
I usually make pork chops on the girll, but I have a pork roast that I want to make on the grill and I was wondering if anyone had any recipes. I usually marinate it but was looking to see if someone had another type of recipe using just spices and/or herbs or just something new and different I could do or have with it. TIA.
Thanks! I think I've now got a good idea how it all
ended. I thought it was one of the best episodes of this show that I've seen.
I've been in it 23 yr and not good prospects...
As is my personal experience, my pay is going down every year... harder to find good smaller services, they have gotten gobbled up by the biggies, and the biggies just view us as number to crank out reports that they want to make more and more money as in profits for the company, and will resort to cheating, as in MQ et al. That is my view, I say get out while you still have use of your fingers and wrists :)
Good for you. You've got class.
That is a lesson you're passing on to your kids. I don't blame you for being upset, but you should be pround of yourself for not asking for a handout. 
You are right. I've always said I'm just in a good spot. sm
I hope I have never acted like anybody wasn't good enough. I sure didn't mean to.
Just realized how good I've got it.
The company I work for pays for headers and footers, which total 13 lines per report. Given my line rate, I make the "per report" rate before I ever start typing! So everything I transcribe is gravy above and beyond. Sweeeeet.
I love my job.
We've had good luck with
Compaq notebooks. The one we have really has been tortured, but still works, although we've not had good luck with their desktops.
The other laptop we've had was a Toshiba satellite. Loved the keyboard and the screen, but nothing but trouble from the start. It had a severe overheating issue, and I've talked to a couple other people who had the same problem. That was a couple years ago, though, so they might have resolved that by now.
Good lord, obviously you've never
spent hours and hours correcting the same mistakes over and over again or you wouldn't even ask. I thought her post was right on the money.
Good job! I'd've never figured that out.
probably be easier to put a password on the computer so he (or anyone else) can't even turn it on. Actually, I have no idea if it would be easier since I've never done this myself (my husband gets that my computer = $$$, so he is well controlled in that regard).
roast in mini bites (finger food)
going to cut up one of the bison roasts into bite sized pieces, shake in a bit of flour, and pan-fry nice and slow. It makes such yummy bites! probably have a home-grown salad too...i made some tater soup with left-over brocolli and gr beans for lunch -- we are blessed with too much good food. i need to use some squash too :)
I'm having a homemade roast beef sub and chips for lunch.
DH can probably BBQ hot dogs and burgers for dinner because I don't feel like cooking.
Dinner help! I have a beef round rump roast.. help!
 any interesting ideas?
Pot roast tonight but will need suggestions for leftovers tomorrow.

Now, RG, you know we've got darned good reasons...
to be crying in our soup over there.
It's good enough to do the job. I've got a Celeron and have no problems.
If you want to see benchmark test results, Google for benchmark Centrino Pentium Celeron. Honestly, the naked human eye can't detect much of a difference. It's not like we're comparing 386SX/33 processors to Pentium 4/3.06 GHz. Nothing like a little processor snobbery to justify spending more money.

Very good question! I've always wondered that myself. nm
s
you've got good reasons to vent
Sounds like you and Patti are great people to work for and I'm sorry you both are having to deal with this. You sound like you are giving it all you've got and are still getting stung. I hear the same from the place I work for. It just seems a lot more people are more irresponsible and unprofessional than they were when I was raised back in the 50/60s. If you're anywhere near my age, I bet it seems like a different world to you too. I don't think it's just an MT problem -- I think it is widespread through all fields but unfortunately, in our profession we are confronted with it on a daily basis and it has to be resolved.
Although I am not a MTSO, I do overflow work from those who had other things to do and put the job second or hire on and then quit and I get their work and my own until they find someone else to hire and hope they stay. I'm not that great myself by any means but I do get exasperated with the weak links who just don't care and do what you complain of in your first post. It makes us all look bad.
As an MTSO you are stuck between the doc and the MT. Doesn't sound like a nice place to be these days. You have my sympathies and hopes that the new year will bring you and Patti and everyone else in this predicatment better MTs.
Pulled Pork Roast Sandwiches with Cabbage/Slaw
I would just take that baby and rub her down with some oil, vegetable, corn, olive, etc. and rub her down with some good seasons, like a little chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper and wrap her up good and tight in some aluminum foil. Git some good hickory wood chips and once the grill starts to cool off from the hottest point, then put that baby out there and let her slow cook for about 6 hours or so. Keep it wrapped up tight so the juices do not escape and if they do, get some worchestershire, oil etc. and baste her up. When a fork separates with the meat to just strands, she is ready for some bread and some slaw/cabbage with a lil vinegar added to the slaw and a lil bbq or A1 steak sauce with a lil mustard added together is better to me and there you go, a good ole southern pulled pork roast samwich!
I've been using it a few years now. It's pretty good. You'll get used to it. -nm

Went to pig roast. Chefs had no idea how to cook pig. Ended up smelling and tasting like garbage.

Dang Lucy's got a good idea. Now why didn't I think of that because I've been experiencing
I use EXText with my current job and I've used at a couple of other jobs I've had. I've ne
used DocQscribe, but I have used Meditech, Cerner, Vianeta, the Precyse platform (I can't remember the name), Dolbey, and Lanier platform I think was called Cequence (?).
Out of all the different platforms I have typed on, I have liked EXText the best. In my opinion, it's very user friendly, easy to learn, and I really like ESP which is the built in abbreviation expander. Plus it is very easy to create your own normals which I love. My fingers literally never leave the keyboard because there are macro keys for everything. You can use your mouse if you prefer or learn the function macros. I love it. I think I'm more productive on EXText than with any other platform.
Left over from wienie roast cheesy potato soup, french onion soup and squished sandwiches.

As you can already see, you've come to the wrong board! By using the word professional, you've
excluded about 99% of the population of "whatever" it is that hangs on these boards. Certainly not professional for sure! But you sure are doing a good thing for someone! Its the thought that counts. Sorry you met the dregs right at the start.
HELP! I've turned my screen sideways, I can't straighten it up. I know I've seen sm

If you're supposed to be paid a certain $/line, that's what you should be getting no matter how they do billing unless of course it's specified in YOUR contract with THEM.

I've used it. It's the worst piece of crap I've ever seen.
seriously. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy, or their Vianeta program. Awful, just awful.
Wait until you've been there six months and if you've improved
quality and quantity, I'd say go ahead and ask. Otherwise I'd say annually... good luck
I've seen the same every place I've done acute care, and
pointing out dangerous or repeated errors (often in normals for goodness sakes!) never got the result I expected. When I would press the issue, supervisors said if the dictators didn't complain, then the mistakes must not matter!
It didn't matter if the MT changed what had been a cardiac med in the beginning of the report to an antifungal by the end - I kid you NOT! One poor girl used facial for fascial and fascial for facial!
I've used a few expanders, and of those I've used, all must be "coded" to get things lik
One thing I do to get around this, is to create a macro and then link the ShortHand command to the macro. It works for me, but I do the same five clients every day and only have about 20 or 30 macros/Shorthand commands that work like this. This may not work well for you if you have lots of formats and hundreds of docs.

I can tell what's a stutter, what's another word, what's just an "uh." Years of experience will get you through a lot.
Wouldn't want to do his charts all day, of course, but a few per day aren't bad. I haven't had to send his to review in a long time, but they do take a little longer to shuffle through.
