last night, i prepared a gorgeous pot roast. nicely browned on all sides, i set it in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables: a quartered onion, some little potatoes, cut up turnip and parsnip and carrots, a couple of crushed garlic cloves, a bay leaf, and a couple of rosemary sprigs. over all of this i poured half a bottle of two buck chuck (red); then i ground a generous amount of black pepper on top of the meat.

i put the slow cooker in the fridge, thinking i would take it out and plug it in this morning, as i have done so often. then, when i get home late this evening from my appointment, i would have a gorgeous dinner awaiting me.

i forgot. i fucking forgot.

i remembered, just a few minutes ago. curses! i whined to [livejournal.com profile] naomi_traveller. she sensibly asked whether shirley has a key to my place. yes! she does! so i called her!

and now she is going over to my place to plug in the slow cooker. and i will have a gorgeous dinner awaiting me when i get home. yay!

it would honestly never have occurred to me to call someone. i'm so used to doing everything alone...

update: shirley just called back and insisted that i let her clean my apartment. i feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now... i guess i'll have to cook a nice dinner for her soon!

fuckin' wow
