Crisscrossing the state talking about security…

This week I have put a lot of miles on the Jeep talking to people about the importance of security awareness. Monday I spoke at SecureWorldExpo in St.Louis and on Thursday I had the pleasure of speaking at the TechITOutExpo in Springfield.

Beef Roast in the crock pot

The weather is finally cool enough to cook some real dinners so tonight I decided to make a beef roast in the crock pot.

Here is how I do it…

Half and then quarter about 8 small red potatoes.

Add one small bag of baby carrots.

Add chopped red onion and celery.

Mix the vegetables.

Add beef shoulder roast.

Add salt and fresh ground pepper and one cup of water.

Cook on low for 7 or 8 hours and then enjoy a great dinner.
