We had family over for dinner last night and I made a roast. It was good. We had a lot of leftovers, which we froze. I just re-heated some and it was SO awesome. Much better than last night. I'm thinking I should just make it ahead of time and freeze the next time we have company. Not really, but the whole time I was eating I though "THIS is what I wanted everyone to eat!"
Re: Why is roast so much better the day after?
This one was easily five pounds. We get half a cow from my IL's every year, so I can't pick and choose the weights. I agree, they are awesomely versatile, but I don't like to cook something and use the leftover meat for something else, because then I don't feel good about freezing it. It would work if I could ensure that what I made would definitely be eaten that night, I guess. I typically just carve up the leftovers and freeze them in individual tupperware containers with the veggies/pan juices and treat them as homemade TV dinners.
