Slow cooker fast friends
After fancying one for some time, I recently found myself the grateful recipient of a Crock Pot in the wake of a friend’s move out. Now I invite buddies to join, we make tasty dishes, sit down to a romantic dinner, and salute of our fortune of friendship.
Oh look! I spy freegan items: folding wooden table, place mats, bowls, glasses, wooden chair, piano bench, futon couch, television, DVD player, speakers, fan, chess board, potted plant, pillows, vase, Hot Tamales, assorted books, candles, candle holders. The film theory books are just about the only items I purchased, and even most of those were used. Every item has a previous owner who no longer had use for it, but for the moment, I do, and when I don’t, I’ll take it upon myself to find someone that does.
I spied several brooms in the bottom of an empty dumpster–but the kind you do not want to crawl into. They are my favorite kind of brooms–well used till the bristles are short and stiff, not like brand new brooms which are too floppy and soft to remove obstinate crud from floors. Tonight I will go back with my pole pruner to reach down into the dumpster and pluck them out.
I have learned to love my crock pot too. Like yours, mine was a cast off. I use it on a weekly basis and it produces wonderful food from modest ingredients.
