Last night I got a little bitty baby crock post (1.5 quarts; I ahve a *very* small kitchen and no storage space, so this works well). Anybody know any good recipes/books/websites for slow-cokking/crock pot type stuff? It's got a small pot roast going in it right now which is going to start driving me crazy from the smell in a few hours. :)

I ended up staying home sick from work - either my Lact-Aid didn't work at *all* last night or I've got some sort of bug. Works well with the new purchase, though - pot roast is nice, comfy, comfort food. I can get some research done from home that the dean wants me to do, and my boss is starting to look into VPN setup for me so I can get other work done from home at times like this. It would seriously cut down my guilt factor about staying home or coming in late if I'm not feeling up to snuff.

I ahve also made the mistake of opening the window for the cat to sit on the sill - she is now DRIVING me INSANE with demands to be let outside RIGHT NOW to get them lousy birds just sitting out there TAUNTING her. Maybe in a couple of years I can afford to rent a halfway decent house instead of an apartment, so she can go out, but at the moment there are jsut too many cars and too many dogs running around out there for me to let her out.
