At Steph's recommendation I made lasagna in the crock pot a while back. I was amazed how well it turns out. I was expecting sort of like a skillet lasagna, but it's brown and crispy on top, perfectly done underneath - not mushy or soupy. And super easy.

brenda, last night, as I was lying in bed, the subject that crossed my mind was Steph's crock pot lasagne!

Honestly, I was ruminating on the unbelievability of physics of just what you described. How can that be?

How can _anything_ be crispy in that environment!

I make granola in my crock pot, too -- it's a lot less prone to burning than when I make it in the oven.

GENIUS

Seriously, I must try this. Because I love granola, and it just never goes well when I try to make my own.

Magic, is my theory.

I am struggling with "the perfect is the enemy of the good" but feel I need to ask one more question before getting on with the web show marketing.

My days of boring y'all with this are definitely coming to a middle.

No, I actually mean 'end.'

My current tagline is: A web show where we talk about the things you just don't want to talk about...but should.

I've been getting pushback on the word 'should' which I do understand.

I'm trying to be a bit controversial because my style is totally appreciative and supportive, BUT very proactive.

Anyway, I just haven't found the perfect words, despite understanding the objections.

This morning, I came up with: The web show where we talk about the things in life that are hard to face, and even harder to talk about.

That seems kind of long.

I have a web person producing a facebook fan page, so I need to make a decision quickly.

I'd appreciate any thoughts!

Recipe?

I love granola too.

This was the recipe I used as my springboard (with granola, you can pretty much throw in whatever you want): [link] It's from a crockpot/slow cooker recipe site, so it's worth poking around for other recipes.

bonny, what about "...the things you don't want to talk about...but need to know"?

Ugh, I burned my boob pretty badly by spilling hot soup on my chest. Slept clutching freezer packs and this morning it's not as painful but has some blistering. I put on Lush Ultra Balm and a large bandaid over the blistery part to protect it from popping before it finishes healing.

Wah.
