I love my crockpot. I do. It's so easy to make food. You just throw in whatever and out pops delicious!
Well not always, actually. I made lentil soup three weeks ago. Nate did not like it at all, said it tasted "bland". I said "this is healthy for you, it's not bland, it's just not nachos". I didn't mind it, since we're trying to eat healthy anyway and let's face it, health food isn't always delicious. Well I've only had three bowls of it since then, kind of forced it so it wouldn't go to waste, but it went bad today. Sad to throw it away, but, ugh.
On the other hand, I made black beans, chorizo and rice and that was fucking delicious. Put some hot sauce on top of it and mmmmmmmmm! I did NOT make that in my crock pot though. After the lentil episode, I just left the dirty crock in the sink until a few days ago when I finally washed it.
And then we made chili, and you can't really fuck chili up, chili is always delicious. And cornbread. We were out of eggs, so you know what you can use instead of eggs? 2tbsp water, 1tbsp oil, and 2 tsp of baking powder. It won't stick together like eggs, but it'll still bake and rise fine.
And stir fry is always an easy favorite.
and I guess that's all the cooking I've done lately. I'm chronically out of ingredients - like, just that 1 ingredient that we don't use for anything else, or that 1 ingredient that we DO use for everything else (milk, eggs). And I just used up all our vegetables I've been using for soups and stews to make some chicken soup that is cooking in the crock right now. It smells delicious, but I accidentally used a tomato based soup for stock instead of a chicken stock soup, AND it had alphabet noodles in it. Nothing on the can told me this! Fuck you, generic soups.
I also broke my coffee pot today. What a tragedy. :(

That was fun! Maybe some pictures later, since I uploaded a butt-ton the other day.
