Crockpot, not Crackpot

I bought a crockpot last fall, partly because I got tired of not being able to do any stovetop cooking below a certain temperature, owing to the nature of my gas stove. I kept looking for inserts to boost the pot up higher, but never found any (though I did find a tip to just wad up aluminum foil in a fat toroid; predictably, this “D’oh” moment was after I got the crock pot). My recipe repertoire isn’t that extensive. This being the internet, what are the odds that someone in the blogohedron has devoted time to crockpot cooking? Pretty good. There’s a blogger who devoted all of last year to crockpot cooking.

A CrockPot Resolution
I will use my crockpot everyday in 2008.

And I will post the recipes and pictures.

Everyday.

seriously.

stop laughing.

This is huge for me, because I usually give up my New Year’s Resolutions on about the 4th. But, I’ve started working for these people and so I’m thinking that I best be making a blog.

So here it is.

2008. The Year of the CrockPot.

it’s actually the year of the rat.

AFAICT, the fact that it was the year of the rat did not figure into things any more than this, though I haven’t gone through all of the journal. Guinea Pigs (or are they gerbils?) though — that’s another story.
