I’m so excited!  Another housewarming gift came today.  My friend/optometrist sent me a brand new crock pot!  I’ve never had one.

Now, I can make Irish beef stew and homemade Barbecue brisket!  Yum!  I’m feeling so spoiled.

I can’t use it tonight unfortunately because you must cook things in it for 4-5 hours before you eat it.  It’s a slow cooker, you see.  But, I can use it tomorrow and all winter long.

I’ll be able to start it cooking in the morning before I go to work and I’ll have a wonderful warm meal to eat when I get home.  We ate a lot of crock pot dinners when I was young.  This is going to be fun!  I think I’ll start with a Barbecue chicken dinner.  It’s got pineapple in the recipe.
