Monday evening: More stuff . . .

1. So ladytwnks pointed out the what_a_crock community, which is focused on crockpot cooking. So, I join, and the fourth entry is:

Rocky Road Candy in the Crockpot

You gotta love it.

2. From NPR:

 In Toby Barlow's debut novel, Sharp Teeth, competing packs of werewolves have plans to take over Los Angeles. But if Barlow's book reads less like science fiction and more like a heroic epic poem, that's because it's written in free verse.

Please follow this link to an excerpt. It is unlike anything I have read before. It is ground-breaking in the way that World War Z was. Trust me on this -- Liam

3.  This link to an NPR story on Mike Rowe is for theresat.

4. Heya, lbitw, this made me think of you:



5. Did I say "Spring?" It's supposed to get down to 11 degrees tonight, and there's the possibility of snow (or rain) tomorrow night. The high tomorrow will be 45 or so.

You are always a bit damp . . . Oh, no. I am not gonna say it.

If you listen to the story, someone reads a bit of it.

Yes, it looks yummy.

Best community name evar.

their recipes and comments are wonderful too. example: most recipes are calibrated for older crockpots which will take 8-10 hour cooking times easily.

newer ones, the "warm" setting is the same as the "low" setting for the older ones. therefore, cooking times need to be adjusted accordingly.

OK so I had to join. Thanks hon. I love crock pot cooking anyway.
Thanks again.

Spring? It was 90 here today.
The time period that most everyone else calls spring is positively lovely here, but it's a bit like autumn in New England... I'd appreciate it more if I wasn't bracing myself for what comes after. Plus I'm stuck inside, which is downright painful when the weather is so nice.

Miss you.

Thanks for the what_a_crock link. I'm always in search of crockpot recipes that don't involve a lot of "convenience" food.

As for spring, I fear it's my fault. I bought winter-hardy pansies yesterday, and now the entire northeast is getting a cold snap below their cold-hardiness point.
