Cooking may be as much a means of self-expression as any of the arts.

"...booksellers really are a special breed. No one in their right mind would take up clerking in a bookstore for the salary, and no one in his right mind would want to own one - the margin of profit is too small. So, it has to be a love of readers and reading that makes them do it - along with first dibs on the new books." (The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Shaffer & Barrows)

Turkey Tuesday in the Crockpot! (#8)

No, it's not Thanksgiving, or even Marchgiving yet... BUT, I got a Turkey Breast Roast at Kroger and was thrilled that it had Crockpot instructions on the package. :-) On Monday, I took the Turkey and placed it in a bowl and added an ENTIRE bottle of Kroger brand Fat Free Zesty Italian dressing. ($1.79) and placed it back in my fridge until Tuesday morning. You read that right, nothing else. That is how my husband likes it. (Not to mention, one Thanksgiving when we were lucky to even have a turkey that was all we had, so a little Italian dressing and a LOT of prayer made a Crook family favorite!)

This morning when I was getting Malakai off on the school bus, I simply took my Crockpot from the fridge to the counter, and turned it on low. And back to bed I went. Tough life of a Supermom Cook, huh? 7 hours later like the wrapper said, I had this:


The picture isn't great (still working on the camera) but, this turkey just FELL apart. And smelled amazing. Just imagine on Thanksgiving, Easter or whenever you cook a turkey - to have the stove/oven completely available for foods other than a turkey. And this was taste tested by my husband and picky youngest, and was 100% approved by both! YAY for #8.These next 2 weeks are going to be filled with my Crockpot. Hopefully they are all as successful as this one! Happy Crockin'!
