Sir Makes a Bad

Sir made a rare lovebirds faux-pas by not buying me what I expected him to from his recent trip abroad. He went to parts of Asia and I requested via a hand written list: a stone mortar and pestle, a sticky rice serving basket, one large wok and twin smaller ones, a bamboo steamer set, a kimchi refrigerator which would be shipped later of course I'm not ridiculous, a variety of ladles, a variety of mooncake molds, a kratong tong mold (in bras), a 3.5 quart clay pot, a sansi in cast iron for that rustic French look I'm cultivating now adays and many, many more items. And as I said, this was on a hand written note by me.

Instead, after the novelty of Sir being back home wore off and I noticed there was not a new giant piece of luggage that would hold all my wants, Sir as usual giggled mischievously. I only request major items like once every few days unlike some people I know so I was a little ticked. Agatha pulls out a Y-3 duffel bag from his travel belongings and from that reveals a pair of Y-3 boat shoes, three Giuliano Fujiwara sports coats, two pairs of Thakoon jeans, a vintage Woo Young Mi t-shirt, and I swear a pair of Anuj Sharma sunglasses that nobody east of east Berlin has.

Apparently I already own all of those cooking utensils including the kimchi refrigerator which Agatha uses often but still. Sir is not taking my cooking seriously by instead buying me things that I would want rather than things I cobbled together from grandpa Internet.

Heavy with a case of the sads I'm making pot roast tonight. the length of time it takes will allow me to nap using the Anuj Sharma sunglasses to hide my tears. Agatha will probably be pulling out the meat from the kimchi refrigerator.

Kanashii (I'm Sad) Pot Roast

The Ingredients:







-2 and a half pounds of Roast














-1 small Onion (sliced)
-6 cloves of Garlic (crushed)






-3 tbsp of all purpose Flour
-1/4 tsp of Salt
-1/4 tsp of Pepper
-1/2 tsp of Thyme
-1/4 tsp of Adobo Seasoning 3 tbsp of Olive Oil
-1 14.5 ounce can of Chicken Broth


Coat the Roast evenly on all sides with the Flour.






Braise the Roast on all sides in a large heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven using the Olive Oil. You want the meat to have a good crust.


Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. To the same pot, add the Onions and Garlic and saute till the Onions are translucent.


Add the Roast back to the pot.




Pour in the Chicken Broth and all of the Seasonings. Bring the pot to a boil.


Cover, Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 hours flipping occasionally until the Roast is tender and falling apart.

I know my life would've been just a little easier if I had two kimchi refrigerators.
