........... and you were ready to sign up for a "wild" west experience?? :D
Sorry to disappoint! :(

Yes I would have travelled to the far west to find the hidden ranch but now that you've revealed the mystery I can stay home and cook :D :D

Same here, I have bananas that could be used for banana bread.

Oh that's great, thank you Linda :) I'm going to try that!

You are welcome Anael. You sure have a houseful of cuties!

Thanks :) Those are my grands, they don't live here. Sometimes I wish they were but I'm happy the way it is :D

I know what you mean. We can't wait until our DGC arrive, but we are usually worn out when it is time to go. :D:D:D We love their energy!

My husband is retired and does most of the cooking, so we use the crock pot quite often. I have a few Fix It and Forget It cookbooks with some great recipes even desserts. Love, Love the crock pot. Gives us more time for quilting!!!!!!

I work and have the same one I got over 20 years ago and probably haven't used it 20 times. All it seems to do to me is make chicken pasty, beef tasteless and makes sauces watery. I was hopeful when Cooks Illustrated put out a cook book, but all of the recipes require a lot of up front work to avoid the wateriness that comes from food that cannot let off the steam and has watery build up. A better investment is a pressure cooker, which I use at least once a week. They are not as dangerous as they once were. I can make a roast in 40 minutes, stew in about 25.
