I bought a slow cooker a few months ago but it’s been sitting in the box. It was — I thought — a purchasing error.

Until today.

Today I pulled it out of the box and had a good look at it.

I’m ready.

Tomorrow I am making a vegetable stew.

Yes, I really am.

I have no idea how it will taste but from everything I’ve read it is really hard to screw up a slow cooker stew.

We’ll see. I’ve screwed up salads.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

Either I’ll have some nice food for lunch next week or I’ll be composting in my garage.

What should I write about today?

I was thinking I could start writing about what I have for dinner. And you know, like about food in general.

For example, today I had a garlic cucumber salad (yes, again) and homemade guacamole a bit later for a snack.

This weekend, I am thinking about making some potato leek soup and freezing it. I like soups and want learn some more recipes — perhaps a nice gazpacho. I like gazpacho.

I eat very little meat these days and I don’t miss it that much. If I had to give up fish though, I’d be sad. Next week I’ll put fish tacos on the meal plan….that dinner was a hit.

On second thought, if I write about food I will have 3 fewer readers — which will bring me to none.
