so i've been hankering for my mom's stew. and that stew requires a crock pot. so i went to target and walmart's sites, and dear G-d in heaven, they were more than what i was looking to spend. so i went to craig's list. and now i have two that were better than the level i was looking for in size, and one is even programmable--suhweeeeeeet.
now i know from my mom's that each one cooks differently, so i put it on while i was home the first time, to see if 8-10 hours means, in fact, 8-10 hours, or, as the more modern ones are prone to do, 4-6 unless you like dried up meat. the problem is that the house smells divine. i so want to sample the meat but am afraid of losing the steam that has built up--some packets says you lose up to 20 minutes of cooking time each time you lift the lid. we can't have that.
conversion class is boring the hell out of me. i guess you can only learn so much about the holidays before you feel like you know them in and out at such a ... basic level. i am seriously rocking the socks off the hebrew class though. if we continue at this same pace until may, i might scream.
