*yawn* G'morning.

I'm awake, at least. Things to do today: go to the farmer's market in Canby and see how good it is. I didn't know it existed. I'd say it's a lot closer than the alternatives, but really it's only slightly closer. It is, however, open Saturday mornings, which they aren't; they're on Sunday. So.

I've started cooking more, mostly using the crockpot. Some things turn out; some really don't. Meanwhile, I need another crockpot. No, seriously, you can laugh. I have two, but one is bigger - I think I may need to get rid of it, it's too big for anything we do, or anything I plan to do, with a crock. I need a second one that's the same size as the one I'm using so much now. And some of the newer ones have a "keep warm" feature I'd like to have, when you don't want it to keep cooking but you do want it to stay warm 'til you get home from work. I'd like one of those.

Meanwhile, I add a paper dragon hatchling from the Dragon Cave, because it needs to be seen in order to help it grow up. You may not see it, 'cause the images are loading only when they feel like it, which is why it's in difficulty. :P

I've actually got three crockpots in different sizes-- it's worth it. And yes, the more temperature settings, the better!

*grins* Yeah. The ones I have have low and high. Which, actually, works - as long as I'm there at the end of the cooking time. I want another the same size as the smaller only 'cause that one is able to produce about 2-3 meals worth of food (assuming a one-dish meal) for just the two of us. Some of what I want to try are not one-dish meals, so...I'd be freezing some anyway in that case. But it's really hard to get two dishes that need a crockpot going when you have one crockpot.

The other dish is capable of handling something for a large gathering. It's a bigger oval one and I'll probably keep it for the rare time I need it, but...it's not a good alternative for the "just for us" stuff.

I've got a crock pot somewhere and I really should start using it again.
