The Crockpot

The Crockpot is a brilliant invention. It cooks slowly, so there is a very low chance of burning the food. As a result, there is little care needed for it. Just set it and leave it be for hours at a time. When you get back to it, 4-10 hours later, your food is ready!

This picture shows Harvest Pork Stew. The crockpot is getting close to empty, because it was delicious.

Finally! Pictures!

So I finally decided to start with the bowl stuff of my blog.
I can't draw, so this blog won't be getting any pictures of my dreams. Unfortunately, a blog without pictures can be a bit boring. This is where the bowls come in.
I will have pictures of foods that I either make, or experiment with (even the failures).
Today's food was the Bacon and Mushroom Strata.
So, what's a strata? A strata's essentially a breakfast casserole. It has bread(cubed), eggs, milk/cream, and whatever else you want to throw in there. That "whatever else" happened to be bacon and mushrooms. I had extra of each.
It's a casserole, so it's primary function isn't to look good, but to taste good. It did it's job well.

Noah's... Taco Bell?

So this time, in my dream, I was like Noah... The one from the Bible.

Only my "ark" was a Taco Bell.    It was also a Wednesday in my dream.  Random fact.  

It's kinda complicated.

Anyways, the whole thing with Noah...

It had something to do with either extremely bad weather, an alien invasion, apocalyptic virus, or apocalypse itself.  I don't know what it was, but I needed to keep these animals alive.  So I got a pair of each animal... I think they came to me, in fact, and we took refuge somewhere.

Strangely enough, that somewhere happened to be a Taco Bell building.

Dad was there, and so was mom.  There were other people there too.  But the thing I think was important was that not everyone knew that things were not going to be easy.  I remember saying things like:

"Thursday might be the last sale in a while"

"Noone will see animals for a while."

As an aside, the baby zebras in my dream were really cute.  Oh, and the animals were really smart too.

Anyways, I guess I must have been hungry in my dream.  So guess what I decided to eat?

Yup, Taco Bell.  I got in line (strange... why would an abandoned Taco Bell in the end of the world have a black woman at the counter to give me sass?).

I ordered as many burritos as the loose change would get me.  They had no tacos.  Something about how the tacos always went bad.  So the burritos were really cheap: 1 for 29 cent, 2 for 31 cent.  

When I pulled out the change in my pocket, I had a bunch of big coins.  I had 1 silver dollar among lots of half dollar coins (about 7).  Well, I like big coins, so I didn't want to pay with any of the coins in my pocket.  I found a few dimes, a couple nickels and a penny to play with.

The black woman at the counter gave me some more sass.
