I really like your slow-cooker  idea.  I'll pass this on to my wife.   And I agree with you, Teri real estate trasnactions should go through a realtor. 

Teri, I'm a slow-cooker kind of girl myself .. easy .. and its cooking when I'm working and easy clean-up.  I just found out you can cook spaghetti squash in the slow cooker (put the whole squash in the cooker, add a 1/2 cup water..put the lid on and cook on high for 2 hours -- and its done)... man!  MUCH better than baking it in the oven.  With the cool weather I'm looking forward to my slow cooker meals .. thanks for reminding me. YUM!

Teri (and Judith),
Let’s have an AR meetup and have everyone bring their best crock pot meal. That would beat any restaurant in town.
