No Sweat

I have found a new love. I am totally and completely in love with my crock pot. Since I have waves of hot flashes that hit me out of the blue and last as long as possible and long enough to have me running for the coldest drink in the fridge I try to stay away from cooking in a hot kitchen on a hot stove. I kinda got the stove covered thanks to my wonderful mom who was up early one morning and saw an info commercial for a nu wave plate, I call it a new fashion updated hot plate which is a life savor for me. She ordered the two for one special. When she told me about it I must admit I thought it was just another one of her purchases that will be hardly any use to me like the hair straightener and the hair curlers and countless other things she has gotten off of late night and early morning info commercials. 

But to my surprise when they were delivered I was pleasantly surprised that this was something I can use and something that would make my life a whole lot easier in the kitchen at least. Between that and the crock pot the kitchen is my friend again.

Right now I have boneless pork chops cooking in the crock pot for 4-6 hours on low covered in a simple sauce I found online. I have never made pork chops this way before and I don't know if my now newly picky family will like them or eat them but I know I won't be sweating over a hot anything today rushing for a cool drink and a paper towel to wipe the sweat from my face. For that I am grateful.
