Oh mon that sounds good :-)

I love my slow cooker.
I have discovered I can cook anything in it. I love the smell og coming home from work and tea is ready. I have seen some women have like 3 to 4 of them. I only have one. I chuck anything in it from meat to herbs and let is cook. I am going to try a pudding in it.
