In a move that surprises even myself, I am on... day 4 (?) of basically eating out of my crockpot.  It all started out when I had a craving for some crockpot soup.  Some days, I just crave some good slow cooked mushrooms (when on sale), onions, and savoy cabbage in french onion soup.  I don't know why I love Savoy cabbage but not the regular, cheaper kind of cabbage, but it's so worth the extra cost to me.

Anyway, I had leftovers for the next day, so I got some chicken thighs and heated that up some more.  Then day 3 and then day 4, got more mushrooms, onions, and savoy cabbage along the way.  Wow, I don't think I've ever just eaten basically the same soup for this long.  I just kept buying some ingredients I feel like dropping in and heating it up along with the leftovers.

I have to say, I also feel a bit smug.  You see, I managed to burn my soup from last week that I cooked in a regular pot.  Who knew that you can burn soup if you leave the heat on max?  Oh, you did?  Uh, news to me.  Had to use a metal scrubber just to get the burnt, crusted stains out.

Luckily, a crockpot is so idiot proof even this idiot can use it without burning the place down.

Oh yeah, and I am also saving money this way as well.  My food cost has gotten so ridiculous over this inflation, I need to get it down more.
