Wish me luck...

I am about to try some Serious Cooking today, dudes.

Yes, that's right, I'm going to try Beef Stew. Complete with crockpot and Fresh Vegetables. I even got my hot little hands on some Fresh Tomatoes (Which means it'll look like tomato apocolypse in my kitchen once I'm done chopping, because tomatoes are one of those things that defies my attempts to chop without mishappen slices and veggie juice spraying all over the place.). So, pray for me, folks. And the veggies. And possibly the neighbors, because I honestly don't know if it'll turn out as stew, or some amorphous thing that will break out of the crock pot and go on a killing rage through Carrollton.

Hint: use food processor to avoid tomatocalypse.

Would if I had one. :(

That's one of the 'toys' on my waiting list, right along with a juicer so I can quit drinking the over-salted and sugared V8 stuff.

Ah well; I'll just have to grin and bear, I guess. ^^

I bought an extremely tiny one for like $8 at wal-mart until I could afford the big one.

ah. I'll have to go look and see what mine has, then. I might have missed it tucked in among the larger ones. :)

Thanks.

It might be up or down the aisle from the food processors, listed as a "chopper."

It's good to chop about half to 2/3 of a tomato at one time, but anything that saves cleanup craziness is worth it, IMHO.
