It is wonderful to come home after a long day at work and have dinner already made, bubbling merrily in the crock pot. Last night's magical pot even included today's lunch and at least one more in the fridge.
I see you've (you all, before I discovered LJ) been down this road before about crockpot cookery. But, we can start up again... good recipes people know that work and are yummy. I tend to cook with a bit of that and a dash of that... nothing I've done to date in the crockpot is exactly measured... and it's worked out OK for me. What makes ours extra special, is we go out on our front porch and snip off some fresh rosemary, sage, and dill off our plants and throw that in... the home-spun touch. mmm mmm good. We don't have Marie Callender's out here. :-) I keep my tasting spoon nearby. I haven't left the thing unattended all day... I suppose that is completely safe to do. Anyone ever had any trouble leaving a crockpot plugged in (electrical trouble, not the cats getting into it)?
thanks for the link

I've never had any kind of trouble leaving the crock pot all day, but mine's pretty new and I don't have loads of experience.
