So, I have a jury trial tomorrow that I need to prep for, so this is going to be super brief.
I got a crockpot for Christmas this year (my parents sent me home with all my presents, except my new camera, after Thanksgiving). I had really wanted a crockpot so that things could cook while I was at work; and I could come home to a fresh cooked dinner–almost like having my very own househusband. (And who wouldn’t want one of them?). Today, I finally broke out the crock pot for dins. I was apprehensive because all the recipes I saw for crockpot meals were meaty things. And as I wrote two days ago, I’m done with meat. But, I figured, it can’t hurt to try something in the crockpot. If I fail, I can always have canned soup for dinner.
So, before work, I poured half a bag of Bob’s Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix in the pot with 6 cups of veggie broth, some salt, oregano, and pepper.
When I got home, my house smelled so yummy and inviting and the soup was great! All lentilly and mushy and yum. It looked gross (hence no picture), but it was yummy. And I would say my first crock pot adventure was a success (with many meals of leftovers). For the entire pot, it cost about $3.50; with about 5 servings, so $0.70/serving.
Ok…time to go do some pushups, watch The Sing Off, and plan my opening statement.
ps. <3 The Sing Off, like whoa! Anyone else an a capella groupie in college? Love me some a capella boys.
