I haven't seen (or even heard of) The Four Seasons...
ReplyDeleteI love my Crock Pot too- and I'm also scared to turn on a grill!
1) I've never seen The Four Seasons, maybe I should check it out.
ReplyDelete3) Completely on point comments regarding Hubert Keller.
5) Do you have a recipe for Shephard's Pie? It's something I'd love to try to make this winter.
The grill scares me too!
ReplyDeleteI love my crockpot! Such a fantastic invention.
ReplyDeleteI have never grilled anything in my life! That job always fell to my dad. The place I am not does not allow grills. I guess that okay, since I don't know how to use a grill anyway.
ReplyDeleteI had never before heard of a remote meat thermometer. I don't need one, but I do wonder how they work.
