I'm with Don on this one, Duane. For a few years after my employer (a now defunct airline) went down the tube I fed my family by being an itinerant construction worker. I Learned fast that a man can exist on peanut butter and sardines for only so long. A pipefitter buddy I worked with told me "Fool! Get a crock pot". I did.

You can drop in a little roast (maybe a little cornish game hen on Sunday) with a potato and whatever seasonings grab you, and plug 'er in. That'll take you ten minutes maybe, then grab the lunchbox and hit the door.

They even give you a cook book with the crock pot.

Then, maybe ten hours later (it's just about impossible to over-cook in one of those things) you drag your weary hiney through the door and a great aroma hits you in the nose. DINNER IS SERVED! You might even want to invite a lady over.

But be advised ...... be sure to plug the pot in before you go. Raw beef or chicken isn't too good. In that case you then go and open another can of sardines.

Good luck!
