I always do pot roast in the oven -- I must try your crock-pot recipe, thanks!
I have never used burgundy for pot roast, but I like the idea. There is a cheap California "burgundy" which I use for cooking -- I won't advertise its name, but it has a supposed religious connection -- it is hideous as a beverage, but good for cooking.
For gravy, I heat butter in a deep, heavy skillet, add flour while stirring, let it get slightly brown, add the pot roast juices slowly, while stirring, and reduce the liquid on low heat.
Old fashioned, I know, but its easy, and it works! ~Your reipe is the only way I've made gravy. I just use Wondra instead of flour. Roux-based gravies are the best!

Pot roast without the Burgundy is Pot Roast.
Pot roast with the Burgundy is Beef Bourguignon.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

I guess Iceberg is good for cups, since it holds its shape pretty well. I prefer red or green leaf lettuce for wraps, because they are more flexible. You can wrap a leaf tightly, fold it, tuck it under itself, etc. without breakage. All the Vietnamese restaurants around here use the green leaf lettuce.
The red is prettier, but seems to go bad a LOT faster in the crisper.

1 bag dried butter beans, washed and soaked overnight Hey, Scoutgal: Is that a one pound bag, two pound bag, or what? I usually buy dry beans by the 10 pound bag at a restaurant supply place, but I've seen all sorts of different-sized bags at the supermarket. And of course, bins and barrels at the local "healthy food" chains. I want to expand my bean standard dishes, so I'm going to try both of your recipes.

Grocery store bags are usually 1 pound bags. It's in the neighborhood of two cups of dry beans.

I don't know what I'd do with more than a pound of beans, I figured those 2 pound bags were for big families. I only cook a pound at a time even if I'm having company and could easily get by cooking a single cup of beans for myself. I ate beans for supper and froze a quart of Butterbeans and have a pint in the fridge from just a single pound of dried baby limas.
I'm making cream of chicken soup for supper. I stewed a couple of leg quarters, pulled them out to cool down so I could debone them, added a few fresh herbs to the stock and came in here for a few minutes.
I just went back to bone the chicken and the damn dog ate every bit of it. It really wont change the soup much but it wont have chunks of meat in it now unless I drag out a frozen chicken breast and toss it in. Maybe I'll do that...
Damn dog.

I have two dry cups of pintos soaking since last night. I'll cook them tonight, put them in the fridge, and we'll have beans for the week. (They improve a bit overnight.)
I may cut the butter bean recipe in half, since it's just for the two of us. We are usually tired of beans by the time we get through one pound.
