Stop in for a cup of coffee

So, apparently I'm a numbskull. I spent a lot of time this morning getting the roast ready and searing it and peeling potatoes and putting them in the Crock-Pot. Then, I thought I turned it on and set alarm clock on my phone for 5 hours so that I could go up and put the potatoes in for the last three hours. So my alarm clock goes off. I go upstairs and check and dang. Nothing is being cooked. I never set the timer. I haven't used this thing very much. So there's that. So now I guess I got to wait until around 9:00 to eat dinner.
