Friday “date night” at the dining room table was a hit.

(My Larry set the table!)

Life has been bumpy lately

and

trying out a few new spice tricks

and

serving it on a table and not a  bed tray sounded perfect.

*****

PAPRIKA POT ROAST

1 (3 pound) chuck roast

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1/2 tablespoon salt

1/2 tablespoom pepper

4 cups carrots sliced in 2″ pieces

2 cups yellow onions rough chop

 *****
