Most satisfying meal tonight!

Thanks for the "Quick Reply" info, Cathy... have I noticed too that cut/pasted links (such as to Amazon Books?) don't transmit "live" with the Quick Replies?

Sis's crock-pot "German Dish" is yummy- our family digs it a lot. I do agree with KYH, in that a certain amount of quality is given up with some foods that sit & stew & permeate all day long... still the pure joy of the "no work at all" aspect, which almost seems miracle-like (leave the house after 3 minutes of effort, just to return 4-5 hours later to a wonderfully aromatic meal!!!) to me is one of those little JOYS I never tire of. (I do have to say, the WORST chicken I ever had in my life was slow-cooked 8-10 hours crock pot chicken. UGH! Tasted like sucking on a dirty sock! So I totally get his notions about the unlikeable disadvantages of the counter-top gadget with SOME preparations. Still, though....

My crock-pot is a lifesaver to get dinner done and so to avoid the 5:00 hour of torture at my house...whiny, clingy, hungry kids begging for Cheetos as I flail around trying to make dinner.

And sometimes I just need the comfort of one of those soupy, cheesy "church lady" crock-pot meals.
