That indeed sounds good. I also made a sandwich today with oven roasted turkey breast. It was good, but yours was probably better.

For grocery store bread, I pretty much stick to whole wheat. It works well for breakfast, peanut butter, and meat sandwiches. It's a compromise, but one that I am comfortable with.

I asked a guy at work what he thinks I should do with the ends of the tenderloin, which are too misshapen for regular steaks. He suggested slicing them thin and cooking for about ten seconds per side. It actually sounds pretty awesome; get a really good roll, top with some mushrooms, onions, and drunken goat cheese, and serve with fries and an imperial stout. I'm going to keep this in the back of my mind for the coming weeks.

So I'm back to cooking.

Went shopping at the Supermarket I work at and picked up a Pork Roast.

Today I defrosted it and seared it in a pan. Then I placed it in the trusty ole' Crock Pot.

3 1/2 pound Pork Roast
1 clove of garlic
2 cups of chopped celery
2 cups of carrots (minced)
2 cups of onions (diced)
pinch of: Cheyenne pepper, paprika, salt, pepper, and rosemary

Dry rub the meat. I did this AFTER I seared it. I know I should have done it before hand, but I was half asleep. I prepared this after work. I get home at 7am.

Anyway, I placed the veggies in the Crock Pot, before I started to sear the Pork. I let it cook for a good ten minutes. I then placed the Roast in the crock pot and added a cup of water.

Let it cook ... remember about Crock Pots the longer its in there the tender the meat. Pics to follow after I make the rice and thicken the gravy.

Yeah, the ingredients you use in sandwiches makes a huge difference. It's worth the extra dollar or so for the good kinda of deli meat, and decent cheese (anyone who eats kraft anything can suck it).

I like all breads, but I just adore sour dough. I get whole weak too, but if I have sourdough on hand I'll always choose that one over the wheat, or honey wheat berry.

I just made a white toast roasted turkey breast deli meat and Deli American cheese with Mayo and it's fucking delicious. Sometimes all you need in your stomach is something classic.
