Directions:
1. Place roast in crockpot. Cover with water or beef stock. Cook for several hours till tender (approximately 8 hours on low is best, but high for 4 hours can work too). When falling apart, pull apart beef with forks.

All things overnight guests and pillows:
My SnoozTime pillow (full-size) is no longer in stock that I can find, but it is a microbead pillow that can be washed and dried regularly! The above link is to their travel pillow.
This is the pillow I was talking about on the episode that would be excellent for carrying with you in your luggage.
Anytime – Snooztime (The company page says they plan to re-stock.)
