I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but as often as possible I swim in the mornings.  Unfortunately, I wrenched my arm on tour while carting my 100-pound computer (that’s only a slight exaggeration), so lately my swimming has been slow and painful.  I mention all this to tell you that there’s an entire group of us who water-walk after swimming our laps.  We visit and exchange recipes.  I tried a new one recently and thought I’d pass it along to those of you who read my blogs.  It’s for a pot roast.  Instead of adding water to the roast before placing it in the oven or crock pot, add two cups of coffee with a tablespoon of concentrated beef broth.  Add a quartered onion or two and fresh rosemary if you have it.  This makes incredibly wonderful gravy.  Enjoy!
