Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for September 23, 2024

That’s a good idea!

Oh boy! Pumpkin spice stew!

No stove top, eh?

Please, please, nobody mention that spice mix. Thank you.

Soups, stews and roasts!!!!!!

Changes of human behavior in autumn are as consistent as the changes of the leaves.

I use my slow cooker year round. too many good recipes to wait for the fall

The tomatos are already simmering, soon to be sieved, then frozen for later batches of spaghetti. mmmmmmm

I also dusted off the Dutch oven and the instant pot.

I made the first slow cooker meal of the season yesterday. It was a rainy day and this just hit the spot. Yum.

97F yesterday in Atlanta.

My slow cooker uses charcoal and wood.

Heat up the apple cider with red hots.

The only problem with slow cookers is the way they saturate the whole house with smell

I wish! It’s going to be in the 90s today.

That’s exactly what I’m doing today. My plan is to turn a pile of seven kinds of vegetables and a little bit of chicken into meals for two weeks.

no… autumn starts when starbucks pulls out the pumpkin spice!

Any thing cooked in a slow cooker can be done in no time at all in a pressure cooker.

I remember the slow cooker, it went out to the yard sale with the bread maker and the baconizer (don’t ask)

I use my slow cooker year around to make soups and roast (to slice up for sandwiches mainly). Every three months or so I make up six quarts of chili and freeze in individual servings (about 24 one-cup servings). Chili is used once or twice a week to top a baked potato or pasta (usually spaghetti). Fairly cheap (about a dollar a serving, depending on the current cost of Italian sausage), filing meals.
