Dinner and Chess!

Tonight I tried a new recipe and by God's grace it actually was really good! ;-) It was a skillet Pot Roast recipe! (which to me seemed a little odd in a skillet but it worked well).

Then during dinner David and I faced off in Chess...
My handsome husband and love of my life!
Well, it is official...I, Hannah Rose DeVries FINALLY beat David in Chess tonight! Yay! So now the tally is: David 17 and Hannah 1~ ( this picture has David's king in "Check Mate")
Here is the recipe! (it is really easy)

1 boneless beef chuck roast

1 tablespoon oil

1 lg. onion (chopped)

2 sliced carrots

2 celery ribs sliced

2 cans (141/2 oz) Italian stewed tomatoes

13/4 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 med. potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths

In skillet over med-high heat, brown roast on all sides in oil. Remove roast and add: onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, water salt, thyme, and pepper into the skillet. Bring to a boil. Return roast to skillet.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours. Add potatoes; cover and cook for 40 minutes longer or until meat and veggies are tender.
