You probably have a better name for it.

And my dog is looking at me weird for standing in my kitchen in my underwear, taking pictures of cookware.

Casserole or crock pot?

 

[RosewoodTulip]

I usually cook a casserole in a 9 x 13 glass dish.

I had my slow cooker but it's done its last stew now.

 

[UnquietDreams]

I had my slow cooker but it's done its last stew now.

After the divorce, I was hitting a lot of garage sales, and found an Instapot that had never been used (the little cups were still wrapped in plastic inside of it) for $20. The seller just begged me not to tell her mother in law. I use that as my slow cooker. (But I prefer to use the oven. Takes longer, but oh, how I love the smell of cooking food.)

I cannot eat nor drink due to having it all all weekend.

That sentence is taking some unravelling; meaning and grammar.....

Is it an ex-slow cooker? Bereft of life it simmers no more?

Oh bargain!
Yeah I prefer the oven, but like you I don't like how the whole house heats up too. Might wait another month before I start that

Yeah it unfortunately doesn't get hot enough to cook through properly anymore.
Shame cos it used to be great for curries

I got one of the Sage fast & slow pro cookers last year. Works really well

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

Well all this talk of slow-cookers and crock pots is making me sleepy.

Wake me up when the hookers arrive and someone breaks out the coke.

Oh bloody nora.

You mean I took seventeen Viagra for nothing?

It's going to be a looooong night... Pray for me.

 

[lingus60]

I'll try calling 'em back mate..... don't want to waste all that ... whatever ......

Just don't tell them I'm desperate.

They'll charge me more. I only have a tenner and half a packet of Polo's.

Half a packet you say?
*winks*

A friend of mine recently ripped up her old carpet in her living room. The boards underneath are in excellent condition but still need some tlc.
She has adhd though and has done the bit she wanted to do and now has no motivation for the rest.
I suggested a big rug too

Homemade apple sauce?

My parents did the same and have lovely wooden floors in the upstairs bedrooms now.

I might be downsizing in the medium term and do not want to put too much money into this old house.

Yes, stewed apple for all intents and purposes. Dinner was yummy and the plates licked clean.

How was your chook??

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

Damn, I'm in here.

*Acts all nonchalant*

They're spearmint too!

Chicken was lovely thanks. Did some garlic and herb roasties too
Almost got a clean plate from the boy so I'm happy

Oh yeah make it lovely to live in but don't spend a fortune if you might move

Such a charmer

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

Such a charmer

I know, right?

I know how to woo the ladies. *Struts*

Don't you mean *trots*? Or *canters*?

 

[lingus60]

More like full gallop after those 17 pills!
