Lately my crock pot has been getting a work out. I’ve been cooking meats in it in portions large enough to freeze a couple of cooked meals each time.

Those meals will serve me well on days I have no time to cook or when The Curmudgeon is having a particularly bad day.

My freezer is well stocked with meals that I can pop in the microwave and have ready in minutes.

Today it is chicken thighs simmering away in the pot that perfumes the house.
