= Pot Roast Day = A celebration of friends and food on the first cold, rainy day in Fall. It began in 2002 in Clifton Heights, Ohio when a pot roast was put in the oven before heading off to class at the University of Cincinnati. Upon return through the nasty weather, the kitchen windows were fogged over, the warmth and smells overwhelming as the kitchen door opened. Some friends were invited over to share in the feast along with cheap red wine and that sense of community lives on to this day. When this day rolls around in your town, skip class, call in sick or simply re-plan your day to throw a roast in the crock pot, alert your friends and share a meal with people make the world better just by showing up for free food.

Other Important Bits
This feast is important in spirit, not production. Substitute anything you enjoy even if you are a vegetarian. Other dishes that have accompanied the meal include poorly made gumbo, chicken pot pie, cooked greens & Black eyed peas, salad, cornbread. You can make Pot Roast anyway that works best for you, however time has shown that the crock pot is supreme.
