2. Did you know that within 72 hours you’ll forget 95 percent of what you heard?
3. This week I popped a lovely little chicken into my slow cooker, added a little paprika and garlic salt, filled the cavity with an onion and a whole head of garlic (following the ideas here) - and walked away for 7+ hours. When I got home, the house smelled yummy and supper was nearly ready. I cooked some potatoes, squeezed the head of roasted garlic into them and (s)mashed the whole lot together. Some gravy from the slow cooker drippings and cooked creamed cabbage rounded out a most delicious meal! You should try it! I'm so glad I took N's advice and tried this method.
4. I started a little sewing project this week - but I can't show you because it's going to be a Christmas present. I like how it's turning out so far :) Next up - some pouches for the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.

That quote is just stunning. And so true. I have also been cooking my chicken in a slow cooker - I crumple some tin foil on the bottom of the pot so the chicken doesn't boil in its juices, and that works well too. I must try the whole head of garlic! The slow cooker has been a godsend, given the long ago demise of the oven. I must get that sorted before Christmas with the whole brood coming home. I don't think any turkey would fit in a slow cooker!
