Back when I was a dude living alone on the mean streets of University and San Pablo in Berkeley, I had what could lightly be termed a “shitty diet.” That is, a lot of potato chips, fried rice, and whatever the Foster’s Freeze across the street had for cheap.
Let’s talk today, where marriage/family have introduced me to something that my bachelor self would have loved: a slow cooker. I don’t even know how those things work, but by god, it’s magic. Just put your prep into it, turn it on, and it cooks itself over the day, ready to be eaten when you come home. Magic, I tell ya.
As an example, my past self would have loved my current lunch, which is leftover beef roast. All we did was buy like a two-pound hunk of beef, toss in some broth, carrots, potatoes, and seasoning, and let it do its thing over a day. It was super easy, and it resulted in a lunch that was just meat, carrots, and some oh-so-delicious and most likely health-hazardous juices. I should have taken a picture. Oh well.
I need to find some good slow cooker recipes. On a semi-related note, I’ve decided to snag The Perfect Scoop in order to make some QUALITIEICEDCREAMZ. Anyone know of a similar resource for slow cookery of both meat and non-meat items, gimme a holler.
I also just realized that the first two stupid entries were on a rare leap year occurrence. Too bad I didn’t think of anything more interesting to blog about on a tetralogical event.
