Elly that sounds so good!
The handle on my crock pot broke so I'm going to be looking for a diff. one hoping to use the crock part as a spare.
Tonight we have planned left overs turkey sausage patties on a bun with egg and a salad. I've just wizzed up a custard in the blender to cook in the crock pot. That worked great!

cheering d nancy and d Ellie as they make lovely dishes for their dear family
Since dd's comments about my cooking and making a mess, I haven't cooked once for the young man staying with us. dd came into the kitchen and said it smells this morning... there was only a few dishes in the sink but the floor is dirty again... 3 dogs and 4 cats and 5 humans can do a number on the floor. it was cleaned thursday and by friday she said the floor is so unclean...She worries about being embarrassed but I think next time she says something I will give her a mop. Her new found criticism needs a new home.
So I lost my confidence in cooking and i know I can cook so I need to get some mom courage and get back to making dinner for my family. I even forgot how to do a menu... because I am afraid of what he will think. furumph and he is a really nice guy.

Thanks, Nancy and blessedw2!
blessed, go ahead and wow your guest with your wonderful cooking. He will be amazed!
Nancy, I may be looking for a new crockpot soon, too. I noticed the counter gets very hot under mine when it is cooking. (It is an older one from the 90's.) Dd says her newer one doesn't do that. Good thing I am home when crockpot is on.
I have bbq chicken in crockpot right now. Will have broccoli and mashed potatoes with it tonight.
