March 18th 2023.  Trying to get an acceptable meal out of our slow cooker.  Every time I try all I get is a mess.  Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.  Perhaps the results I get are the correct ones.  Maybe we are just too fussy, too "bougie" (quite possible).  Then again, all I seem to do is some sort of soup like stuff.  Anyway, I am now cleaning the stove top, since I do not (yet) need it (slow cooker - remember?).  It is like a dig at some ancient ruin, with memories of long past meals.  Wish me luck.  (Back to work)
