Crock pot comes out again

It's been awhile (in fact since before the twins were born) so I'm breaking out the crock pot! I've got some new inspiration and new tricks to try to make the dish taste fantastic so we shall see. James had to go into work early this morning to cover a shift we shall see how long he's going to have to help cover that little shift although he reckons not too long...yeah right I'll see it when I believe it.

I've already gotten my menus planned for next week, including a slow cook roast and I'm hoping the shopping bill won't be too bad...I have tried to not include a lot of meat so we shall so. I am also going to use jicama for the first time which I'm looking forward to, that's my mystery ingredient for myself. I'm almost tempted to ask Mat to get the boys to pick one vegetable and make a meal around it my two are just a bit to young still to get involved.

Is a crock pot the same thing as an electric slow cooker? I love mine!

yep same thing...I love it but sometimes the texture of the meat can be em mushy and I've also had some recipes come out dry, bit more experimenting is needed me thinks
