making a chicken stir fry with left over this and that. not really all that hungry.
Tested out my new (bargain) computer crock-pot today. We had red wine-tomato roast beef, mashed potatoes, lima beans, and iced tea. Banana bundt cake for dessert.
Gotta say, the crock-pot exceeded my expectations. I'm a VERY happy camper.
I changed my mind.. it's going to be sloppy joes
I would not survive some days without mine, especially when I don't know what time Mark is getting home. I made sloppy joes in mine last night and kept it on low. It turned out great!Tested out my new (bargain) computer crock-pot today. We had red wine-tomato roast beef, mashed potatoes, lima beans, and iced tea. Banana bundt cake for dessert.

If you made all that in the new crock pot then I would think you would be a very very VERY happy camper...
Okay, Smarty Pants. It's a case of "I shot an elephant in my pajamas." Yeah, why was the elephant in my pajamas?
Then, I'd have to say the iced tea was the most challenging part, but these new computerized crock-pots are cooking wonders.
From my catering days I have 3 crockpots - different ages and sizes. I got rid of a lot of my equipment but kept all three. The last one is a 6 quart one and I can put the crock in the oven and, with a wire rack provided, on the stove to sear meat, etc. It is too large for the two of us but I make big batch items to freeze. My favourite is my Mom's good old 3 quart and it is in use a lot all year round! The other is a five quart which is great as well.I would not survive some days without mine, especially when I don't know what time Mark is getting home.
