January's
Eat from the Pantry Month (aka Eat This and Give Me Back Cabinet Space/No Way I'm Driving To the Store in Sub Zero Cold and Snow Month) was a success! I reclaimed some shelf space, rediscovered my tea collection, and fell back in love with the slow cooker by creating new recipes like my
Slow Cooker Mexican Beans and Beef recipe (you can read about it on Lazy Budget Chef.)
Aaaaaand the loose handle finally snapped off the lid of the crock pot.
Because we are not allowed to have nice things.
An futile attempt was made to glue the plastic handle to the screw in the lid. FAIL.
Buying a new crock pot was silly because it works fine otherwise. We muddled through by popping the back of a serving spoon under the lid to remove it. It was kludgy but it worked, sorta.
I found the answer to my crockpot problems when Husband kicked me out of the house because a recent cold and Cabin Fever was making a less than pleasant person to be around. He said I needed Me Time to become human again. I ended up at Anthropologie (no big surprise) where I found the fix for my broken crock pot - an Anthropologie cabinet knob.
