That sounds yum. I wonder if I'd use a crockpot? The idea of setting it up in the midst of my morning routine (you know, when I have a routine) seems like I'd never actually do it.

I'm about to experience overnight crockpot. In the past, it's always been a daytime weekend thing.

Usually, it's a weekend day when I'm out a lot. Bit this one is a LONG one (10 hrs) so...nsm. Chicken and peppers is a few hours before it is ready.

OTOH, I bought too much stuff (beef, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms) so I'll probably have to do a repeat AT WORK soon. But I'll have to go more shallot and garlic first.

And as of right now.. not even steam!

I with ita - overnight crockpot in unrelaxy. But it's nice to have going during the day, especially if you go out and come home to bubbly goodness.

My impatience has to tell you.. fingerling taters done in the micro are sublime. Tasty little suckers.

I'm with brenda and ita, but this is an Experiment!!!

It started snowing here about half an hour ago. I know because I was leaving a friend's house, and got to drive home with the first flakes swirling in my head lights. Very pretty. Not sticking yet.

Not that I've used mine in forever, but I'd often assemble as much of the ingredients in the pot as possible at night and leave it in the fridge. Then I'd pour on the liquids, or whatever, and turn it on on my way out in the morning.

I would be very tempted by crockpot goodness smelling up my apartment. Luckily, I don't own one, and it is too snowy to go try to steal sarameg's.

Hello, Natterinos! I don't usually come in here, but then I'm also not usually at home on a Saturday night...

Does gloomcookie ever come in here? I saw this in the paper:

Hello Kitty, the cartoon cat with a cult-like following across much of Asia, has taken to the skies. Taiwanese Eva Airways recently teamed up with the Sanrio Company to offer a Hello Kitty themed Airbus A330-200 that flies from Taipei, Taiwan to Tokyo, Fukuoka and Narita, Japan. Everything from the plane's paint job to boarding passes to uniforms worn by the flight attendants feature the Kitty. Since adding the Hello Kitty plane, the airline says bookings on those routes have jumped as much as 13 percent

I'm also not usually at home on a Saturday night...

First you try to steal boys without having your papers in order, and now you're flaunting your usual life-havingness?

Sheesh, woman. You used to be nice...

Oh, right, I'm going out tonight. Still, I'm not poaching girls. And I won't be out that long anyway.

Aw, meara, it isn't that bad. Barely sticking to the roads. But still, it is a wee crockpot. I'd prefer a bigger one, where I could do a whole bird.
