I'm sure all of us will be using the crock pot next week with all the leftover Turkey. Judi

Welcome, Claire!

Remember, when you cook with a crock, there is more time to Rock!

I just joined today, too.  I LOVE my crock-pots.  I have to admit to owning 5.  3 of the three and a half quart (two old and a new), 1 Crock-ette (which only has the low setting) that is great for cheese fondue, and 1 two quart, which is older but has the removable crock.  All except the crock-ette have the glass lids (I really dislike the plastic ones, and I read that they don't cook as well, because the weight of the glass plus the water makes a seal and the plastic ones don't), and they are all from Goodwill.  They are all Rival brand, and I will be loyal to them forever.  Here is my Rival story:  I bought two crock-pots at Goodwill that were about 30 years old, one avacado green and one flaming orange.  I flipped them over to check the serial numbers and such, and found that one had the nut on upside-down and a few wires sticking out of it.  So I figured that I could fix it, and pulled as hard as I could to get the nut off.  When I finally got it off, the bolt that it was attached to sucked inside the crock-pot and nothing I could do would lower it.  With the crock loose, I found that the wires were part of the heating element that was wrapped around it.  I can't imagine what would've happened had I plugged it in and turned it on.  Anyway, I still liked the color (having a slightly retro kitchen) and I found the address for the repair center.  I wrote a note stating that I bought it for three dollars at Goodwill, and that I busted it, along with the check.  Two weeks later, they sent me a brand new crock-pot!  The really strange thing, was that it was the one that I had seen several months earlier on the Rival website, and it matched the contact paper on my shelves and cupboard doors almost exactly!  Needless to say, I'm a crock-pot addict.

I am so glad I found this place!  I was browsing the Green Stars for Groups June voting and saw it and had to come check it out!!!

I LOVE my crockpot, it is the best money I ever spent!  I'm looking forward to checking out and sharing recipes with everyone!

So everyone send Marion a star.

As a few of you know i was diagnosed with diabetes this past month, so some of my favorite foods I am no longer able to eat, but it doesnt mean That I cant share them with you.

I started 2 types of insunlin yesterday so hopefully soon I will get the right dosage and will start feeling a little better.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND Everyone.

Hugs and love Anjee

I'm Ket, stupid Finn, and I don't have the slightest idea of what a crockpot is... the thingy in the picture looks very much like a normal pan or pot or caserole or what the heck it's called in English... but it has to be something special, otherwise there wouldn't be a whole group for it...

I asked this question in a new thread, because I didn't notice the welcome thread first - sorry

Hugs,
Ket

P.S. Thank you, Marion, for inviting me
