crock pot!
i finally used my crock pot today. i got it for free from a co-worker, thinking that it would be a good way to get some healthy food going for dinner with little effort-- or with the effort concentrated in the parts of the day when i have more energy for it, rather than right after work.
i have to say that the maiden crock pot voyage met with success! i made crock pot sticky chicken; instead of a whole chicken i used a huge package of chicken thighs from costco.
i'm amazed by the amount of juice produced by the chicken; i think i may use it along with the package of red, yellow, and orange peppers i also got at costco, to make a pepper stew.

crockpots are also good for chili. (not that i own a crockpot, or know how to make chili, but christina made some awesome vegetable chili for me once.)

I should really use my crockpot - it's brand new in the box, never been used. I also used to make a vegetable soup that was great, it just required a LOT of chopping, and then voila, soup for days.

do you happen to have that recipe handy? i could use a good veg. soup recipe, especially one that can be made in a crock pot.
with my lovely new knife, chopping holds no terror for me!

i have a great vegetable curry recipe... email me if you want it.

actually... i don't really like curries! i think the turmeric bugs me, or something.

i'll ask christina for it. :) it was really good, she gave me the leftovers and i ate them all week.

If I can dig it up, I'd be happy to email it to you. I made it in a regular pot, but if you know the crock pot math, I'm sure you could make it in one.

my favorite crock pot recipe is Crockpot Chili Verde, pork stew in tomatillo sauce. it's so good! let me know if you want the recipe.
