Honchey, sorry for your news. With a toothless DH that is facing more gum surgery, I can relate to that thought. May it heal quickly for you...and healing will start right after the surgery.
Mirabelle, so happy the mail plane did not crash on its way there and the package finally arrived there for you. On pattern is for advanced quitters and is a real challenge. I decided I was not an advanced quilter, but think of you as one.
Anael, there are many crock pot recipe booklets, and one will probably come with your crock pot. Hope you enjoy it and have great success with its recipes. Honchey's Rice Pudding recipe cooked up nicely in mine. I find the crock pot excellent for soups and stews. If company coming happens to be late, its great to keep the food warm and ready to serve, no problems. Mine old ones warn against putting frozen food into one, but I think the newer ones might handle that problem.
