I'm finding that with time, my slow cooker is becoming invaluable - I would recommend one to anyone willing to sit still long enough to listen ;-)Abbe Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476476269201930252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486618563943846172.post-80137245772986010052013-12-02T11:04:42.568+00:002013-12-02T11:04:42.568+00:00I love this beautiful dish, Abbe, and the photogra...I love this beautiful dish, Abbe, and the photography is exceptional. I am the same way you are. Nothing is running when I leave the house and we have had some minor fires while away - the fridge, the hot tub, the stereo system wired through the walls. All small fires that fizzled out but scared the heck out of me! Such is life I suppose but funny enough I've been considering a slow cooker lately. Maybe if I just use it while I'm home at first, lol.<br />Thanks for the inspiration. You have a new follower.

Well, the beans in the stew are brilliant. I am pinning this and trying it soon. It is freezing here in NY.

The only reason I even attempted it in my Crockpot was sheer laziness ;-) I got brave and left the house with the washing machine running this morning - I didn't have to swim through the front door when I got home, but that's as brave as I get for one year. Next year I may try using the dryer when I take the dog out for a walk ;-)Abbe Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476476269201930252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486618563943846172.post-73265786985201795002013-11-22T10:47:06.153+00:002013-11-22T10:47:06.153+00:00Thank you, Pamela!

So now I slow cook on the stovetop and I don't leave the house on those days. I love this dish and can see still making it on the stovetop.
