[HPFGU-OTChatter] Crockpot (Was: Crackpot!)

Carol:

Do I  dare confess that I mostly live on yogurt, fishsticks, and frozen
dinners?  It's not that I can't cook, it's that I don't see the point
of cooking a  real meal when I don't have company and could be doing
something else (like  composing elaborate posts for HPfGu). 



Sandy:
 
I went from having four children and a husband to being all alone (kids  grew 
up and moved out and my husband died), and most of the time I don't get  home 
from work until around 9:30 p.m. The frozen food section of the supermarket  
I work at and my microwave have become my best friends. I do try to make a  
"real" meal on Sunday, usually meatloaf. When my Mom passed away last year I  
inherited her crockpot. I have learned to make a mean pot roast in it, as well  
as barbecued ribs. I was off yesterday and intended to make a pot roast, but I 
 forgot to take it out of the freezer to thaw. Oh well. So, no, you're not 
alone.  I have many more things I would rather be doing than standing over a hot 
stove.  Furthermore, I really don't know how to cook for one, being used to 
cooking for  so many. I made spaghetti and meat sauce last Sunday and wound up 
with a 5 quart  dutch oven full of it. The racoons and possums around here 
have been eating very  well this past week.
 
Sandy
