Finally

Today was a rare occasion - I had nothing scheduled and was home by noon.  This was after a meeting, a trip to DiBrunos, Reading Terminal, and Trader Joe's. I was so tickled that I came home, brewed a cup of coffee then got started on dinner. 

I had a chuck roast and wasn't using a crock pot nor a pressure cooker...I was going old fashioned with the range.

I seared the meat, sauteed onions and celery, then added tomatoes carrots and potatoes.  I cooked it in the oven for 3 hours and the gravy was absolutely delicious...the brie ciabattini was perfect for sopping it up.
