I like to cook, and also like leftovers, so I make a big batch of whatever I am making and have it to eat for a few days. Just last night I made a double batch of rice pilaff, and now I don't have to mess around cooking for a while. I do the same thing with chili or stuffed peppers, etc.

Just this past Xmas my Son Don got me a small crockpot, because I was still cooking as if it were for a family of four. Now I can make smaller batches if I want to, but I still use the big one more.
