Will dinner be ready? Will it be edible?

[Dora]

I gave my husband a ride home on my lunch hour today.

While at home, I took the opportunity to throw a few things in the crockpot: chicken stock, a chopped onion, three diced carrots, a can of chicken, and a cup of french lentils. I set it on low and walked away.

Oh, and I also filled up the gas tank and stopped at the pharmacy. All things I would not have done if I had worked through lunch like I usually do.

I'm so happy my husband missed the bus.

1. Too hot here to eat

maybe just some fruit...it is so hot it is tiring to even eat.

2. Here. Have something cold to drink.

3. it sounds great but on low I doubt it will be ready to eat in 4-5 hours

now on High it probably would have been

you may have to throw it in a pot to finish it out

but weren't you the organized lady this afternoon huh?

4. Spot on, on all counts.

I flipped it to high when I walked in the door, and the lentils were tolerably al dente. Surprisingly salty, however. I fleshed out the dinner with leftover bbq and mangoes from Costco.

How's NM treating you? Will the mods allow you to change your handle?

5. yes, with the canned chicken and the broth salt may indeed have

been a bit much

as for me, the remodel goes apace and the name will stay the same probably until after the 2008 elections when Skinner usually does a no penalty name change
