so the fish said

Get me, I'm June Effing Cleaver

I am actually using a crock pot. Dinner will be promptly at 6:00.

The only difference between me and June Effing Cleaver is that rather than greeting Chris at the door when he returns from work and handing him his slippers and a martini, I will be handing him the baby and a bottle of breastmilk as I head out for the gym.

Now, where the heck are my pearls?

Ha ha!

You so funny.

You still think things can be "promptly at" when you have a baby.

Let me know how that works out for you...

funny, I used a crock pot for the first time yesterday....ok, it actually was the second time, but the fist time was such a horrible failure that I personally baptized yesterday as my first crock pot experience. (who knew that minute rice would become puffy if left in a crock pot for 6 hours?)

I didnt mind the whole jeans thing but if you actually get to go to the gym every day sans baby I might start to not like you. (Kidding). Luck!

did you check to see if they were next to the diapers?

I have a crock pot and I've only used it twice, but I love it. As much as a single girl living with someone else's family can love a crock pot she can never use because aforementioned family is psychotic about the kitchen.

Enjoy the gym! I'm going tonight myself!

Oh dear, maybe they are in the crock pot!!! *gasp*

Crock pots are awesome..if you can just remember to put the food in them early in the morning. Usually, the last thing on my mind at 6am is "what's for dinner". It's more like "dude, I'm late for work, again!".

Can't wait to hear how it turns out!

You mean you don't greet him wrapped up in saran wrap?

(I never understood that)

Sadly, the crockpot has become one of my best friends, right up there with the minivan. Do you see what motherhood can do to your ideas of adventure.

Just blog browsing and your site reminded me of my favorite joke. You may have heard it and hence the name of your site. Anywho...it goes like this:

A fish walks into a bar and the bar tender asks "What can I get you?"

The fish turns to the bartender and says "water!"

hehe

heehee.

i have yet to use the crock pot my cousin gave me (she got two at her wedding, and she, being the june effing cleaver type, uses the one she kept all the time....)

Posted by suze | October 12, 2005 12:04 AM

honey, i've been married 7 and 1/2 years and just got a crock pot for the first time 2 weeks ago. i haven't done anything with it yet, but i figured a lady should have one, right?

...i hear it told that you can make stuff in those things. hmmmm?

You are a rock star, diligently going to the gym. And after being with the baby all day? Wow. (So what the HELL is my excuse?)

Posted by Fraulein N | October 12, 2005 8:58 AM

Oh the crock pot is a dream come true these days, especially since Lady's newest trick includes needing constant entertainment from 4:00-7:00. Does not leave much time for food prep and cooking, but with a CROCK POT, it's a whole other story.

Chop the veggies, add a little meat, some broth, tra laaa, some salt, pepper, hit "on" and a mere 8 hours later.....stew!

PS- I have a cookbook that says you can make cake and even cookies in the slow cooker. GENIUS INVENTION!!

I'll let you know if I ever try it...

OMG! I had honey's dinner at the table waiting for him when he got home for the first time in 4 years. Too funny! I LOVE my crock pot. I have TONS of great recipes. Have fun experimenting!

The crock pot was my best friend when I was on maternity leave. LOVE IT!
