Dinner guests

[eilcon]

My parents are coming for dinner tonight to help me hang some pictures and to meet their newest "grandcat," Claire. It's funny how excited they were when I invited them, probably because it's usually us kids that show up at their house for dinner. They were even more excited that I offered to cook, rather than us ordering pizza or something. We're having swiss chicken casserole (a yummy crockpot recipe), stuffing, mixed veggies, tossed salad, rolls and apple crisp for dessert. Anybody else want to come?

I wouldn't mind the Crockpot recipe either - that sounds yummy!

im going to try that when i get a crock pot

i have a question, is a crock pot some ceramic thing cooking at the stove?? or is it something else already with a high low tuner?

 

[zak&rocky]

Are you making the apple crisp? My husband LOVES apple crisp and I never make it. If you are, post the recipe! That sounds like fun having them over- I always get nervous when hosting people- don't know why!

 

[babyharley]

Is dinner ready? I'm starving!

That just sounds so great, I'm about to make a trip your house, haha!

A crock pot is something that goes on the counter, you plug it into the wall. It looks like a regular pot but it has legs and a dial. I think the most common brand is a Rival. It slow cooks stuff like soup, stew and stuff like that. I don't own one personally, but I had some pulled pork once some one made and it was awesome- and I don't eat pork!

Anything made in a crock pot is amazing, I love mine, I use it for everything!!

Thank goodness for whoever created them!

It usually has a metal outer portion with the on/off, low and high settings and a ceramic pot that fits inside the metal outer shell. You put all your food in the ceramic pot, set it into the metal shell, turn it on and leave for work. When you get home that night - presto - dinner is ready and the house smells delicious.

I would have if I'd had the time, but instead I used one of those Betty Crocker Easy Bake desserts. It WAS easy and turned out pretty good.
We had a fun evening and my folks were thrilled to meet Claire, although they had to reach in the closet to pet her!

Glad you had a good evening, Eileen!
