If you could get a whiff of this crock-pot, you would say it's worth it. I had to sit on kitchen stool to do this...my back is giving me fits but my kids love to eat, and they are not around that much anymore. I am used to cooking a lot...been doing it all my life, but if I didn't have my brother to worry about I might eat out..but I do not like canned foods...except I use some tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce and green beans Sometimes a few others now, that I am in the apartment. .I have yet..to buy a jar of jelly! I am gonna make blueberry muffins tomorrow for Sunday morning...and take them down with me.My daughter bought bagels, and I gave her a jar of my fig preserves for in the morning snack. They rarely want breakfast...since they do not get up at the same time. If ya'lll don't cook...what do you eat? I cook every day. I made biscuits, sausage and gravy this morning. My brother eats two eggs scrambled almost every morning...but I split two biscuits...and covered in gravy with a jimmy dean slice sausage on each side...and said that's it...no eggs today! Sometimes he sends a neighbor boy to McDonald s for their big breakfast..since I hurt my back. Well...have a nice weekend. Stella P .S. Guess nobody's interested but I am gonna tell you anyway...Alabama has won all 9 games..this year..tough ones...we played and beat Georgia, Tennessee ,. Arkansas, Vandabuilt, South Carolina,Old Miss,Miss State, Florida,and Kentucky...tomorrow...LSU!!!.(our coach is Nick Saban who came here from LSU) for a salary well over four million,..can you believe it? With the economy like it is. So at least wish us luck?

I do open up cans of food to eat, and as easy as that is, I still don't do it often. I eat sandwiches, open up a can of soup or can of chili, or sometimes make a vegetable soup using canned veggies, or make a salad or a TV dinner. Lately I've eaten cottage cheese and fresh tomatoes for supper when I need a light supper. I eat out for lunch several times a week if I have a doctor's appt and will be out in the mornings. I just spent $112 on groceries yesterday so I think I should be able to find something around here to eat, you think? Once in a blue moon I will make salmon patties or fry a hamburger patty. I usually have hashbrowns (made from scratch) and a fried egg for breakfast.
