Winter has sort of crept slowly into North Carolina, with some chilly weather but nothing that's even closely representative of early December. (In fact, we're due to have 67 degree weather tomorrow...this is how people get sick!)
But the temperatures have been cool enough to break out the sweaters and pashminas-turned-scarves, and that means that one of my favorite winter inventions has been taken out of storage. I am talking about, of course, the crock pot.
There are few things better than coming home to a house full of delicious aromas and knowing that dinner is ready. The crock pot has gotten a ton of use these past couple of weeks and it just makes dinner so easy and cheap.
I still think the washing machine is one of the best adventures ever and probably did more to liberate women than any bra burning, but the crock pot gets points for convenience, healthiness and simplicity!
