Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I can't buy that stuff unless it's going to be dinner. Which isn't a great idea, but better that than a snack!

Spinach! Cauliflower roasted with garlic! Baby carrots and horseradish hummus!

I need to buy more hummus. Thanks for the reminder!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm having bacon-wrapped scallops. They're ok - I messed up cooking them, but they're still okay, so they're probably pretty good if they're prepared correctly.

I need cooking advice!

I have some chicken thighs, a crock pot I was given, with out any instruction manual and I know I can cook the chicken in it, but I don't know how!

Help!

sara, yes.

Pub Cheese is EVIL.

Both twins are already asleep! I kinda want to do a victory dance.

But I'm sure this means they'll be up at 4 or something else ridiculous.

Compassionately intolerant

quester, there are a million slow cooker recipes out there, but the one bit of advice that really helped me when I began using a crockpot was to coat the ceramic insert with PAM or similar before adding ingredients.

Before learning that little tidbit, I had a helluva time getting greens, bean skins and the like off.

I think this means you either sleep or drink, Kat.

OMG, commenting on my 16 year old's facebook makes me feel old. I'm all longwinded and shit and they are all chatspeak. OTOH, mine are the ones she actually replies to directly, off facebook, with grateful thanks for my thoughts. So.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thee are tons of crockpot recipes online. Just google and adjust for taste. I'm mobile so linking would be unpossible but there are tons. Many rated.

I've done chicken, bell peppers, onion, garlic, butter, white wine, other random spices, toss all in and see what happens.
