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

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. 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.
