    Oh my Heavens – thank you, Glen! This video comes at the perfect time for me. I’ve just turned 69 and after 68 Thanksgivings featuring turkey as the main course, I decided two days ago that I will be serving pot roast on Thanksgiving day this year. After all, I believe that it was the Native Americans that showed/shared with the European settlers how to eat turkey and helped them survive the harsh New England winter, and helping the European people didn’t work out very well for the Leni Lenape people and their nation. I polled my family – as long as there are mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce, everyone is happy. No one will miss the turkey.
    I so enjoy your videos, especially the camaraderie between you and Julie. I discovered your channel this past August and have been watching ever since. I look forward to what’s coming during the winter months.

    I usually cook pot roast the day before, chill overnight, and de-fat the sauce the next day. If the sauce needs thickening I either cook it down a bit or use a slurry of flour and water. To my taste most pot roast cuts already have plenty of fat and adding cream.and/or butter makes it too rich for me. Otherwise, this looks great and I love just throwing everything into the pot.

    I don't like adding potatoes to my pot roasts either. It gives me more serving options cooking the potatoes on the side as mashed potatoes or boiled. OR no potatoes at all, but buttered noodles or rice.

    When you move the roast and veggies to a serving plate and put the pot on the burner to simmer and thicken the sauce, put the lid on it while it comes up to a simmer. After a couple minutes of simmer with the lid on, the trapped steam will have softened all that flavor stuck to the sides of the pot and most of it will come right off when you scrape it with your spatula so you can mix more of it in with the thickener used. It's sort of like de-glazing the sides of the pot.

    I’m with Julie. Love raw carrots, dislike cooked carrots. On a related note, when I started college 40+ years ago, as part of freshman orientation we were given a barrage of tests. One question was “do you prefer raw or cooked carrots”? I’ve been wondering ever since just what what the answer signifies.

    Regarding the Marmite/Vegemite: I made a beef stew a week or so back, after your recent video.
    Couldn't find either 'mite locally, so tossed in a fat tablespoonful of Fermented Black Bean Sauce.
    Made a great addition of umami, and no one tasted anything funky! So,, there's yet another additive for your repertoire!

    If you're concerned about food cost, I think beef shank would be great for this dish. Here in Hong Kong it's one of the cheapest cuts. It's also lean, if you're watching your fat intake, and all the tendons inside will cook to be nice and chewy. Drooling while typing.
