According to one of my recipe books, slow cookers are good for things other than just soups and stews.
I’ll find out after work today how it does with a whole chicken.
Update: I don’t know why I didn’t remember but I’ve gone down this road before. Still looking forward to how this one will turn out.
I can see clearly now…
It took a little while longer than usual, but I finally got to pick up my new glasses today. It’s always nice to wear new glasses, because the old ones have usually accumulated a bunch of scratches over their two year lifetime.
The new ones are a little bigger than the old ones, which ends up making the lenses a little thicker and heavier, but restores some of my peripheral vision which is good. The weight will take a little getting used to, but I’ve worn worse.
New on the bookshelf
Be The Pack Leader – Cesar Milan
How to Speak Dog – Stanley Coren
The Dog Whisperer – Paul Owens
Confessor – Terry Goodkind
Ended up going on a bit of a shopping spree today.
Remastered Menagerie
Just got back from watching the remastered version of The Menagerie episode of Star Trek. So. Very. Cool.
Even though I’ve seen it countless times already, it was great to see on the big screen, with the new CG effects and improved image quality. It was like watching it for the first time again. Following the show were some previews of the remastered second season. Cool looking stuff. The remastered season 1 DVD collection would be very cool to have in the collection, but it’s a little to spendy for the budget right now so it’ll have to wait.
Now if only the local network broadcasting the remastered series would show it at a decent time.
The crowd was pretty small, maybe a couple dozen people at the Mt. Pleasant theater. Either Trek fans here are very low profile, didn’t know about it or all went to a different theater.
In case anybody missed it tonight, there are supposed to be two more showings on Thursday.
