I know slow cookers are a great time saver...I just can`t love the look of the anemic meat that comes out of them. I have to brown everything afterwards in the oven. It is a delight for things like chili, and spaghetti sauce, or soup...or for melting candle wax (heehee)....but mostly I don`t like the mush they produce. I`d rather bake, roast or BBQ....

Oh I agree. Thinking everything can be done in the crock pot is like thinking you can cook an entire meal in a microwave...and we all know how that **** turns out. I always wind up cooking half on the stove top or oven and then wrapping it up in the crock pot.

It's really quite interesting. I wonder if it's non fiction?

Could be turned into a docu-drama, heavy on the drama, with the right submissions.

We'd have to bring TJ back to go over the top with the drama.

Nothing worse than being suffocated by a urine soaked blanket, but I digress, I did initiate a fukken exchange with wez.

If Off Topic Forum were a book, wez' contribution would consist of three pages of "yay me" and "I'm not you" c#nt-speak.

Now wez will reply to me in his little c#nt speak way and totally kill this thread.

For example,

RO's contribution would be SIX pages of "I demand your respect", "I played army in the desert", and "I kill because in *** I trust".

There wez... I laid it out for you.

Oooo... got me there.

We're used to it. You're one of the few people I know that can and often do find a way to ruin or derail their own threads.

When You are Engulfed in Flames - David Sedaris

Is that Amy Sedaris's brother? If it is, she's hilarious and I've heard his books are really funny....if that's who this author is.

Yes indeed - he even mentions her sometimes in his books.

I've also got her book "Hospitality Under the Influence" which actually made me cry with laughter in some parts.

The whole family is just brilliant!
