I am making pot roast in my crockpot as I type. I turned the heat on at 8:30pm, and I expect the food to finish cooking somewhere between 4:30 and 5:30 in the morning, so I've set my alarm for 5:00am, at which point I will stick the results into the fridge (and then go back to bed, obviously) so they will be ready to eat when I get home from work on Thursday. I have a bottle of red wine ready and waiting expressly for that purpose. :-)

It's my mom's recipe, more or less, which basically involves a pound or so of beef, one can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, one packet of Lipton's onion soup mix, a soup-can full of water, and a cup or so of red wine. Carrots and onions are optional extras, which I added in generous measure because it's easier to have the veggies included than to cook a side dish every night.

My apartment smells so delicious, oh my god. :-D

ETA: It seems to be cooking faster than expected -- probably because I'm making less food in a smaller pot -- so I will probably declare it done around 3-ish and then go to bed.
