What Happens When You Forget To Turn The Crockpot Off….

……..before going to work?   You end up with some super tender awesome meat.  Ha…and I was so worried that I would come home to burnt stew.  It was well done and delicious over some mashed sweet potatoes.

I’m assuming that everything is clear and dry when I head out to Catlett in a couple of hours.  At least I hope so, got to chase a motor coach. 

Yesterday the hot water came back on in the bathroom 30 minutes after I posted it.  Weird!!  This morning it was 5 degrees and the hot water in the bathroom was fine.

When I go to bed tonight, I will have finished 7 days of not smoking.  What a long week.  I do hope it gets better with time.  I miss it!

  1. @Tango Making homemade concrete was another worry. I was trying to impress my son with my culinary skills not my ability to replace heavy machinery with common household appliances. lolSteel cut oatmeal in a crockpot? Something to Google. The \”steel cut\” part. lol

  5. @Tango Making cakes in them? I'm missing a cookbook!LOL I'll have to remember that one (the eyeball part).@Donna I was raised to lock all the doors and windows, blow candles out twice and never leave anything on. Which is weird considering the family crock-pot history but I digress. I thought it would go \”poof\” like a coffee pot when it runs out of liquid. lol

  9. My Mom and Grandma swore by crockpots but the first time I used my crockpot, in my own home, I worried I'd come back to a burned house. Now, I've got several crockpot cookbooks. =)Oooh, that coffee has me Jonesing for another cup of my own!
