I leave the crockpot on for five or six hours at a time when not home on high = though with nothing flammable nearby.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I figure a slow cooker doesn't put out much more energy than the lamp I leave on all day so it's not dark when I come home and trip over the cats. So I generally don't give it much thought about leaving the slow cooker alone for the day.
I could be wrong, of course, but that's always how it's been framed in my mind.
Hey! I finally did some blogging! Included are photos of the weekend Aims was here! Check it out!

I'm pretty sure crockpots were designed so people could cook stuff in them while they're away from the house.
I was just saying that, I, personally, because I am paranoid as hell, do not use the crockpot in the way that the Great Crockpot God intended. It was an indictment on my own crazy, not on crockpots or people who use them in the proper manner.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I feel indicted! Stop oppressing my crockpot choices, mang! *smooch*
Nora - I'm making a cajun-y chicken and sausage dish in my crockpot. Joe would not quit whining about his lack of gumbo. I did not make gumbo b/c I have no spoons, but I'll add rice to this and call it good enough for now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Crockpots: Mainly I'm afraid I Did It Wrong and didn't put in enough water and the ingredients will catch fire and burn a hole through something expensive.

The status is NOT quo.
Crockpots are awesome for cooking all day while you're not home! Speaking of, I need to start using mine again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not worried I'll burn down the apartment complex--I'm worried my dinner won't be moist and delicious. So I got the kind of crockpot that turns itself off.
Fuck property damage.

I swear to god I was all "you can use other things to stir with" for a second there.
Wishing you (and all of us) more spoons today and in the future.

My first reaction was "What did Joe DO with the cutlery while she was in NOLA?"

He and Emeline used it all when they made All the Cookies.
