Yesterday morning Paul started up a new reciepe in the crock pot. Most crock pot reciepes are too mushy and fatty for us ... but this Moraccan Chicken option looked promising. The instructions said to add the carrotts 30 minutes before eating. I was doubtful that this was enough time, but Paul doesn't like to improvise when cooking and followed the guidelines.

Alas, at 6:30 the carrotts were not done. With the kids starving and Paul frustrated, we made the call to have cold cereal for Sunday supper. ..... Well, actually, Paul had cold cereal and COCKTAILS!
