I am in charge, which means I must provide food for all four of my brothers. This can be quite testy because they are rather picky when it comes to "real food". I enjoy cooking and except the challenge of avoiding their starvation.
They eat spaghetti, which is pretty easy, so I made a good bit and froze it. Tonight--roast! Oh, yes, I am attempting to make a very large chunk of meat be edible. Hopefully they won't throw up or something. You are supposed to cook it for 5-6 hours on high, or 10-12 (whoa) hours on low. I have heard that the meat will be more tender if it's cooked slowly, but I didn't put an exorbitant amount of brain work into the planning of timing and having it fully cooked by dinner time cook. To have cooked it slowly, I would have had to put it in the crock pot last night, but since I didn't, I had to take the speedy route. 5-6 hours on high.

Whoa, I am making pot roast tonight too. Freaky.
Just keep an eye on it - I find that our crockpot actually cooks stuff a lot faster than most recipes say. So a lot of times even though it says 8-10 hrs on low, it actually only needs like 5-6 on low. But that could just be our crockpot. :)
Oooh, weird. Well, great minds think alike. :)
I've poked it every little bit, and it seems to be doing well. I ended up switching between high and low because I couldn't decide. But, I think it's okay.
