Note: Marsala is not a suitable substitute for merlot when making a pot roast in the slow cooker. It's just not. Do not do that. Save the marsala for chicken marsala, and go get a bottle of merlot for the beef. My bad pot roast makes me very grumpy. I like pot roast, dang it. I like the roast and the potatoes and the gravy. Those things are good. I ruined all of them. In protest of my own terrible cooking, I refuse to cook tonight. Ok, yes, DH and I swap dinner duties every other night, so technically my boycott of the kitchen isn't so much a protest as a well-timed date with my boyfriend Brian Williams. I can't miss our nightly flirtation across the airwaves while he catches me up to date on all the haps of the day. (Swoon!) If NBC News only knew how they're facilitating Brian's illicit affair with a married broad in Tennessee... They'd make a reality show out of it and start catching up with CBS! Anyway. Terrible pot roast. Pouting. Not cooking tonight! Stupid marsala. I hate it so much. --Cricket

I voted ONE night. Get back on the horse!
To commiserate, I hate all the wasted ingredients and efforts when a meal turns out badly. It's aggravating. Especially when you were looking forward to it in particular.

I made something crappy for dinner on Sunday night. Got the recipe off of Pinterest, it even had all sorts of positive comments like 'best dish ever'. It was horrid. Luckily, my boyfriend is wise beyond his years and never said a word to me, even had a second helping. I took one bite and almost spit it out. I don't know how he sat there eating it. I voted for a one-week boycott.

I hate when I screw up dinner! I made ohyvonne's mexican rice last week and effed it up majorly. It was nasty. I was pissed.
I think DH should take you out tonight!! And then he has to cook tomorrow night!

One night, but then you have to get back on the horse. I've made some ghastly mistakes where I turned beef into shoe leather and chicken into rope. My family was on hunger strike, but then once I was back in the saddle they ate twice as much ; )

You could stretch it out even further...carry-out one night, delivery the next, go out to dinner the third night and then have DH cook. And technically, since you rotate every other night and DH only cooked one night in 4 days, he's over due for one so he should cook the 4th and 5th night.

Stand in line for Brian! He's really a two-timer if he's having an affair with you, because I found him first!! Too bad about the dinner - hate when that happens!

I don't believe you. There is no such thing as bad pot roast. There is only differently-abled pot roast.
I did help you out, though, by voting for Brian Williams to move to Tennessee.
