a new adventure in crockpottery

I have become addicted to using my crock pot, or better yet addicted to trying out all the things you can cook in one. I already tried the ribs, boring i know. Then I tried out a huge slab of beef to make pulled/shredded beef for rolls. Now I am making my way into the world of poultry!!!!

Mmhmhmh looks tasty!

Ingredients:

  • 1 4lb whole chicken
  • 1 large potato
  • 1 onion
  • a few carrots
  • threw in a little squash thing (wanted to try something wild!)
  • small slice of butter
  • salt and pepper
  • diced garlic (I bought a jar, cheaper than a clove)

Now I just set it on “high” and wait about 5 hours. Should be done right around 6pm. I will update you with the end result!

test day!

Oh snap! I have my first exam in Gross Anatomy today. I woke up around 6:25 this morning and had my shredded wheat for breakfast. Now I am going to go over some muscles, then the power point hand outs then I will go take this test. I feel good, confident. I studied harder and longer than I think I ever have. So I will go in there with a positive attitude and try my best. Really at this point I don’t think I could study/remember anything else. So whatever happens, happens. But I feel confident I will do well.

I made my ribs last night in the old crockpot. AMAZING! I am not one to brag, but good gracious if this whole PT thing doesn’t work out I may have found my calling as a pro crockpotter. HAHA riiiiiiiiiight.

I have this stupid critical thinking class for the next 3 nights from 4-7pm. Seriously so stupid! So that’s where I will be, stuck in a pointless class. Half of our class already had it, so now the other half has to go.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. We take the test at 9:30am. We get 2 hours to take it and once we are done our teacher is going to grade them, so we find out our grade within an hour or two. So my status will change with the good news or the bad news.

Alright time to study!
