well, i had thought about that, in my thought processes about getting a crockpot. but wouldn't that mean all the ingredients are assembled, in the fridge, already put together, just... sitting. i can't explain it without it getting.... weird, misconstrued. all the ingredients are, err, sitting, soaking, uhm.

ok, say i'm making steak and potatoes... and green beans. (wow, that sounds good. okay.) i put everything in the crock pot at night - steak, potatoes, green beans, gravy. wouldn't everything be all gravy-infused and soggy in the morning?

also, again, younger daughter is quite picky with what she eats, and i don't think (right now) it would work out if i did get a crockpot. maybe when she goes to college though....
