CROCKPOT ROAST WITH GRAVY

1 Beef Roast
1 Jar(10)oz.  or Can Beef Gravy if making a lot of vegs. then buy the big jar.
Potatoes
Onions
Carrots
Celery  if you like 

Spray your crockpot with Pam. Place the washed beef roast in the crockpot. Peel your onions if you like them in your roast. Then peel your carrots and your potatoes. Cut your potatoes in chunks, cut your carrots in small chunks as they take longer to cook. Put the vegs. on top of the roast. Next pour the beef gravy over all of this. Cover and try not to take the lid off. Cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3 to 5 hours. It will make more juice.
If you do not like the beef gravy you can use the jar of brown gravy but to me it is sort of salty. May need to mix about 1/4 cup water in with it. Stir and then pour over the roast. Or you can use a pack of brown gravy made up.  This make the best tasting roast ever.

In another bowl mix the water, 2 Teaspoons sugar and the yeast. Set aside for around 5 minutes or until the mixture is foamy. Add this to the mixing bowl and add enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on to a floured surface and knead until the mixture is smooth and elastic. If you are not going to use this right away then place in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. May have to punch down a couple of times. Take out of bowl and and turn onto a floured surface and cut and shape as desired. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet and let rise until double. Bake in a 375 oven until lightly brown.

Remove from oven and put cheese all over the top and then return to oven to melt cheese for around 5 to 10 minutes. Watch or it will burn. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve warm. If you want to you can put half of the cheese in the batter and the other half on top. I like this way better.

DUCK DUCK GOOSE SALE

Have you ever heard of the DuckDuckGoose sale. It is a sale that takes place most all across the U.S. for kids clothing. They have it twice a year. One in the Spring and one in the Fall.Or at least I think they do. I can sure say it is a experince to go to it. I have been to yard sales for the past 30 years but I have never saw so many clothes in one place. This sale was at Knoxville, Tn. in the old Kmart building. Now we all know how big a Kmart store is. It was cramed full of kid clothes, furniture and strollers and car seats.They were all priced real reasonable and very clean and good clothes. But the thing is if you don't get there early you have to stand in line for a hour to just get thu the doors. We also had to stand in line for almost three hours just to get checked out. My daughter said it was worth it lol. Me I had rather be somewhere else shopping. You have to have a good back and legs to stand that long. lol. You also have to take something to put your things in as 3 hours is a long time to stand with clothes in your arms. We took a rolling duffle bag which you check in when you go in. Some people had rolling laundry baskets and garbage cans. Don't just take a plastic garbage bag as it will tear. I saw some with laundry bags made out of material. I cannot get over how many clothes there was there. No wonder around 14,000 people go to it each season. If you get a chance check it out if one is in your state. They have a online website. They also have baby beds and strollers and any type baby items. I am not getting paid by them or anyone to talk about this sale. It is just a good sale to go to and it will help people out with the way kids outgrow clothing. I had never heard of this sale before until a week ago. Me, I love to go to the yard sales down in Nashville in the spring. I have never saw such good stuff. In our area, which is so rual, we don't have big subdivisions to go to and it is like Christmas just to get to go and look at all the good stuff you can find in Nashville. You can decorate a whole house with the stuff you can find so cheap at these sales. But with any big city they all have the big subdivision sales. Can't wait to Spring. ......
