Definitely get the crock pot out of storage. I cooked a whole batch of chops with mushroom sauce ,threw in the potatoes and veggies, lots of onions and garlic (I'm still a beleiver that garlic will cure anything) . But I put it all in a huge casserole and shoved it in the oven, the house got so hot I had to turn the furnace off and turn the a/c back on.
Might be a good day for that today. It was -3 when I got up. Fall is here to stay.
