And apparently reached the stage in life where I cook lots of things in the crockpot.

I don't know what precisely happened; it seems to be the next step from buying the exact same sweater in five different colours. (Ngl, I have five of one sweater in only 3 colours, and I deeply regret getting 2x cream.)

Tonight is a little bit of an experiment with mustard chicken. I guess I'm going to find out whether this is a terrible idea or not.

I'm still searing the shit out of it before I put it in the crockpot though, so hopefully that will yield good results.

I've had this crockpot for well over 25 years now. I think I used it about a dozen times up until this year. Now I'm using it twice a week, at least.

@Gigi I was reluctant to use slow cookers because I saw way too many white midwestern 'dump' recipes associated with them. Then I found out they made great pulled pork and were The Answer re cooking dried chickpeas, and now I use mine a fair bit. The chicken looks esculent.

@crockett

I don't know that I would do chicken in it again if I'm going to be out for more than an hour or two.

It was a little stringy and overcooked, even on the low setting. But with beef and pork— and definitely beans, the thing works like magic.

The sauce was delicious though.
