Cooking Thursday

It was Bob's birthday last Sunday and I wanted to make a nice dinner for him.  We had the kids coming for a light supper, so I was looking for something I could do in the crockpot to have ready when we got home from church.  I found this recipe for a pork roast that I started on Saturday and then started again on Sunday morning.  It was delicious - very tender and had great flavor.  The gravy is also good,  without doing anything more to it.
You can add carrots if you like, or you can serve it over egg noodles.  I made mashed potatoes and carrots separately and it was a very good meal.
