    Thanks for the input Barbara. It's good to know they are just warmers and not really crock pots you can cook in. I think I'll skip it then.

    What size crockpots are available?

    I have a mini too. If I had to guess, I would say it holds about 1 pint. It is perfect for cheese sauces, fondue and warm dips.

    Key Health Benefits of Onions

    I love onions but have to be careful how much I consume. They are high in natural sugars which is definitely better than processed stuff but still a no-no for those of us watching sugar and carbs.

    Does anyone have or thinking about raising chickens?

    I raised chickens for about 8 years. It was wonderful getting the fresh eggs. We allowed our flock to free range. They were a wonderful help with insects and we noticed a significant decrease in ticks around our very rural home. However, they poop everywhere and I do mean everywhere. Porches...
