thistlechaserI think I forgot to mention that I (finally) got a crock pot. It's nice, but a little daunting (spices! I have no spices!). I need to go shopping and get things like bay leaves, but I forgot to go at lunch today. I have a chicken breast cooking now, with "spices" from a packet of meat-flavoring stuff. Chinese roast chicken flavor, from the asian market near Giovanni's. It looked okay when I checked it at lunchtime, but I totally put the power in by ear, so who knows how it will taste. (One packet for a pound of chicken, and I put only one breast in. I'm suspecting it'll end up too strong.)
Think I'll make bread again when I go home. (My little bread maker makes a "personal sized loaf" in an hour (45 minutes to cook + 15 to cool.) My honey-oatmeal loaf needs more flavor, but I'm not sure how to add it. I wonder how a packet of the instant oatmeal would work... but that would add extra sugar... (I suspect you need X amount of sweetener for the yeast to work, and maybe putting too much in would ... do... something.)
Also, mostly as a note to Hyper, I got an ice shredder thingie! For snowcones and stuff. I got a bottle of flavoring stuff, too. I need to make some ice so I can try it out, even though it's not hot out yet.
