rolanniDoes anybody have (and like) a crockpot recipe book that uses whole ingredients, rather than things like "cream of chicken soup"?
Was just over at the working wiki for Mouse and Dragon. It has a deadline timer right there on the front page, to put the Fear of Deadline in me, and I never turned it off. Says it's been 305 days since the delivery date. 'nother timer, over on my Google homepage, says that M&D's street date is 17 days distant. That's covering a lot of ground pretty dern fast, from pages to print.
Don't forget the Pilots Choice auction. There was a question regarding the starting bid of $75 -- why was it so high. I figure if one person asked, more wondered. So! The starting bid is so high because the good people at ABE books are pricing their (very, very few) Pilots Choice hardcovers from a low $172.50 to a high of $220. Also, the original cover price, in Year 2001 dollars, was $40. So $75 did not seem at all out of line.
It's also a point now mooted; the minimum has been made.
I'll be scarce -- or maybe not. Got a To-Do list for this weekend that I could wrap around me and wear as a dress.
Everybody heading for the beach?

Do not neglect the comments, which have interesting recipes scattered among the entries.
E.G., from Marrena on November 2, 2008:
My crockpot recipe--a couple pounds of fatty stew meat. Get two bottles of good beer, I like Killian's Red. Pour one into the crockpot, drink the other. Plenty of salt and some pepper, a spoon of tomato paste, and lots of fresh thyme, maybe seven sprigs. Mix the ingredients in the beer, add stew meat. Chop up a red onion and mix in. Layer of chopped carrots, another layer of chopped celery. Turn on crockpot and let cook overnight. In the morning, make some Japanese sushi rice, maybe in your rice cooker, and then ladle plenty of the stew over it when it's done, and you've got a great lunch to bring to work for the next week, just keep making fresh rice every morning.
