Lazy day with dinner made...already!

I enjoy having a slow cooker. It means on a day like today, I can go out for a few hours, and not worry about rushing home to make dinner.

So far, things I've learned about slow cooker cooking:

- always brown the meat

- ignore the tips on chopping down veggies into smaller pieces. Keep these in large chunks so they won't be complete mush at the end of 8 hours

- if someone cooked me for 8 hours, I'd lose all my liquids. Same goes with veggies in slow cookers. 

Now for a break from my veg-ing, time to start the rice cooker!

Edit:
- Use the excess juice/water from the slow cooker, as the liquid when cooking rice.

Old song, new lyrics

Sometimes I run (...run!)

Sometimes I hide (...hide!)

Sometimes I'm scared of you (... Nah!)

But all I really want is to...

Eat cookies! Nap all day! When the sun comes out, go out and play!!

Riddle me: what animal is this?

Time to re-visit my wee bit of writing space! I'm planning to add bits and pieces of my whims and fancies learn what it means to focus on me.
