working up an appetite

Just finished working up an appetite playing Rock Band. It all started when we found a guitar for the ps3 for $5... yes, that's FIVE US Dollars! So we did what any reasonable person would do. We bought two. Don't have rock band or guitar hero at this point, but for 5 bucks (well a total of 10) it's worth starting the investing now. Then we waltz into another store that has a mis-tagged (though we didn't know it at the time) Rock Band set for PS3 with the game, guitar, drums, mic, cords and usb hub for 100... rather than the 140-190 that it's supposed to go for. Then we did a little modifying by buying a few additional songs off the ps3 store. Found out I'm way better on drums than guitar. So I worked up an appetite then dug into some leftover chilli and cornbread which tasted (as with all stews) better than it did last night.

So I'm off to run some errands and then back home to cook. I think it's going to be a beef roast. I have a round tip roast that I think I'm going to season and cook almost like a prime rib. Maybe... Could do a pot roast with it too. Thinking more along the lines of a bed of potatoes, carrots and onions holding the roast off the bottom of the pan (and to absorb any yummy juices) and then stick a well-seasoned chunk of meat on top and roast away till we're at a medium-doneness in the center since I like mine a tiny bit more than medium (and I like the crusty edges) and Bry likes his medium from the center. Till then be warned - once you start with Rock Band and I'm sure Guitar Hero is the same, you won't want to stop... unless you're hungry.
