"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300º...Brown roast on all sides in a greased skillet. (I use a iron dutch oven and start in a cold skillet.) When the roast gets real hot, turn to medium heat.Brown all 4 sides...turn off heat and leave on burner.

While browning roast, chop the onion and celery.Spread celery and onion on and around roast. Put in a nice sized bay leaf, cut in two. This bay leaf must be removed before making gravy. Add salt and pepper. Pour tomato juice over all. Put on lid and put in preheated oven. Cook until done. Usually cook about 2 hours before checking for doneness.

Take out iron skillet and put on top of stove on burner. Take out the roast and bay leaf. Turn to medium heat. Add about 1 1/2 cups water to skillet.

Make a paste of flour and water(about 1/4 c flour to 3/4 c. water). Pour in paste slowly, straining it as you pour,stirring constantly until as thick as you want it. May need extra salt and pepper. Add Season All.
