Hysterical description of her relationship with her slow cooker ... I almost feel the same way as I count on it for my chili. When I went to college, I, too, was given a crock pot, but I had no idea how to use it. I tried making gumbo in it once and learned that one should not add okra to rice while it cooks because it turns into a mucous-like substance. How I wish back then that I had this cook book. However, that was in the days before email, much less eBooks. She has great tips on general use of the slow cooker to get the most out of your recipes, one of these being that I had never before heard of a crock pot liner. My wife is the queen of creative spice-combining, creating beautiful dishes that make it difficult to keep trim. However, Price's recipes are complete and wonderfully spiced. Each recipe is full of awesome flavors and will satisfy even the most critical palate. This is the first recipe book I've found that has funny recipes, such as the recipe on pork butt in which she writes, "My butt is generally fatty so I don't require the help of additional liquids ..." Ha ha! The recipes are as good as they are funny, so enjoy having your recipes at your fingertips on your ereader. Personally, I'm on my way to the kitchen to make Gooey Chocolate Cake in my slow cooker. It's my turn to surprise my wife instead of the other way around. Oh, boy! Two thumbs up and a couple inches out at the waist! ;-)
