Don't you hate spending money for wonderful, fresh herbs, using just a few sprigs... and then pulling them out of the fridge a few days later, only to discover that they're now a browned out or mushy mess.
Here's a trick that really works!

I live in a city where I have to drive nearly a half an hour to get quality produce. Yesterday I wanted mojitos very badly and I went to 4 grocery stores before I found some mint. :rant:
Consequently, I am very interested in starting an herb garden for sure, but perhaps a veggie garden as well.

Not for a slow cooker but I wanted to keep it in the same group
I found this recipe on http://www.epicurious.com/ and thought it sounded very good! Basic Beef stew recipe with a slight twist. This isn't the stew one I wanted to post (I forgot).

I love me some mashed potatoes, especially on Thanksgiving. The problem is that this dish is usually overloaded with tons of butter and cream, which can be a big problem if you're trying to stay healthy. One way I make my mashed potatoes healthier is by using Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn potatoes instead of the old stand-by, Russet potatoes.

As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.

NEW YORK – The ghosts may have been abandoned across the street, where the House that Ruth Built is awaiting the imminent arrival of the wrecker’s ball. But from old to new, the New York Yankees left no doubt in the House that George Built that their championship tradition runs as straight and true as a pinstripe.
The Yankees won their 27th World Series title and first in the new Yankee Stadium by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 Wednesday night to take the 105th World Series in six games.
