I Love the Crock Pot
4. February 2010 by admin.
I was raised on restaurants and TV dinners so I’m not a big fan of cooking. But I do love the crock pot. This month, I intend to not eat out this month (except for when I’ll be traveling next weekend). I mindlessly turn into the Chick Fil A drive thru whenever my stomach starts rumbling. So I’ve started planning my meals in advance and using the crock pot.
If you don’t have a crock pot, I HIGHLY SUGGEST that you purchase one. All you do is dump the ingredients in the pot, turn it on, and walk away. A few hours later, you’ll have a great tasting dinner ready to eat! I have chicken drumsticks simmering in the pot as I’m writing this post.
To get you started, here’s a recipe for chili.
Crock Pot Chili (serves 6-8)
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 can crushed tomatoes ( the approx 14 oz size )
1 cup mild or medium salsa
2 cans chili beans
1 can black beans *** for thicker chili, drain two cans of beans ***
1 can great northern beans
1 can red beans
Crumble & brown beef in large skillet.
Dump all beans, tomatoes, salsa, and beef in crock pot.
Set crock pot on low for at least 4 hours to let flavors meld some.
Serve with grated cheddar cheese and brown rice.

Physical Death
22. January 2010 by admin.
I recently attended a funeral of a very good friend. Last May, our friend was standing on a stool in my kitchen helping me fix a light bulb. Last Christmas, I visited him in the hospital while he was in a coma. Last weekend, I watched as they lowered his casket into the ground and shoveled dirt in his burial space.
The entire experience was surreal for me. I was especially affected by this because I am now six months pregnant with a new life. I watched one life end and I am experiencing another life begin. Life is too short to waste on pettiness: petty activities, petty conversations, petty jobs, and petty relationships.
My friend was fifty nine years old when he died. Now is the time to live. We should begin with the end in mind.
