I'm not really a bug person myself, but last week I had the chance to see a lot of dead preserved bugs at the camp that I volunteer at, so now I get less freaked out. The pot roast looks delicious. I love hearty meals like these, the ones that taste even better as leftovers.kyleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301553874309005262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000684849043929603.post-49774447412267501052011-08-20T14:52:32.868-04:002011-08-20T14:52:32.868-04:00@ Carolina - I love your comments!

I can remember a sibling's high school teacher saying there was no such thing. HA! I've made Switchel many, many times. It IS mighty tasty and thirst-quenching.

We love a good old fashioned pot roast.

My favorite part of this post was your memories of this beautiful day spent with your adult son. I'm glad to hear that when they are grown up, they still will spend some time with their Mom.
