I got my trusty crock pot out again this morning to make pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. When I pulled the lid out of the dishwasher - I use the thing several times a week lately - the handle on the lid literally popped off. What was I going to do? We've only had the thing since we got married. They just don't make things like they use to. :) Anyway, I tried super glue to no avail and then decided I just needed to bite the bullet and go to Wal-Mart and pick up a new one. In the mean time, I just put my two frozen pork roasts in the crock pot and put a plate on top.
Wal-Mart had a nice selection of shiny new crock pots to choose from. I never knew it would be so exciting to purchase one! Our old one was pink and flowery, not really my taste but it made yummy dinners so who was I to complain. I picked up a GIANORMOUS red and silver one and set off. When I was checking out, the cashier and I were chatting about how I came in for the crock pot and was leaving with an untold amount of stuff - I think they pipe subliminal messages to buy things through the overhead speakers. She looked at me with a confused look and asked, "So, you use it a lot then?" And then looked me up and down again like I was a 90 year-old woman. Do the rest of you use your crock pot like I do? It's just a quick way to make dinner in the morning and not have to worry about it at 4:30 when the house is crazy and I am getting tired of dealing with it. I will admit it. I love my kitchen gadgets, especially those with slow cook settings and timers!

I don't know what to put in my crock pot? what should i cook in it? Nacho cheese maybe?
hi! i love to see your blog and pictures! We live about 1.5 hours north of sacramento - there have been so many fires! The smoke has settled in the valley where we live - we can't go outside at all. we are thankful for the firefighters!
I guess I'm old too because I LOVE my crockpot! In fact, it's one of the only ways that I cook....just like you said throw things in it in the morning and when I get home from work dinner's ready! -Not to mention that it doesn't heat up my apt. like the oven will- =)
