smonster, do they have a freecycle list in Nola? Perhaps you could get a reasonably gently used slow cooker on it.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
There is, in fact, freecycle. I'm calling Crockpot first, to make sure on the replacement parts thing, but yeah.
Because I tend to skip any slow cooker recipe that tells me to brown a lot of ingredients.
No longer a problem now that I live with a vegetarian. "Brown the tofu" doesn't come up a lot. (Actually, I can't recall ever making anything with tofu.)
I love the blog I got the lasagna recipe from: [link] I've bookmarked about a jillion of her recipes that I want to try. (So far I've only made the lasagna, repeatedly.)
Bah. Time to head out to work.
I dislike tofu. Not as much as cilantro, but still ....
Someone once asked me what you could use tofu for. My response? "I hear it makes pretty good insulation." (YTofuMV)
I always brown the tofu. But I wouldn't use it in a slow cooker recipe I don't think.
I *love* crispy tofu in Pad Thai, but all of my Pad Thai comes from the cheap Thai restaurant one neighborhood away from ours, so I've never attempted to cook it myself.
I grew up eating tofu. I like it cold with some shoyu. . . or in numerous other forms. I usually prefer it when it's not pretending to be something else.
Ryan's a tofu fan. I've never liked it though. I've noticed Ryan's Chinese vocab is strongest, relatively speaking, in food-related matters.
I usually prefer it when it's not pretending to be something else.
This is my relationship to tofu.
I do like it in Tom Yum soup, which I can now make at home. It is heavy on the YUM.
Oh! In "it's a small world" news, Wallybee had an interpreting job for the police today. It was a long one, didn't finish until 9:30 tonight. One of the police drove her home afterwards (we live a fair distance from the city, almost an hour by train). Turns out he was a policeman in Canberra for eight years, and he arrested my brother on numerous occasions! Isn't that nice?
