Crock Pot Chicken for all you doubters...

...or supporters or whatever. After I waxed rhapsodic about not liking to prepare meals, all kinds of folks offered me ideas for preparing meals. !!! So instead I actually did an old familiar favorite using veggies I had already bought and chicken that I had already frozen, and made this--and here are some photos of the process.

    6ish hours later--is it done? Note the potholder--

    Could've done it for 4 hours, but 6 worked better this day. Made the potholder for my mom a very very long time ago. One year, not too terribly long ago, she gave back to me all the potholders that I had made for her that were still in good condition. Guess that tells me how often they were used. ;-) And this is a TINY potholder!
