thanks! my mom had a crock pot, but never grew to rely on it, and I can't remember much she made with it - except some soups occasionally.
mmm, Swiss steak - that brings back a lot of memories. ours wasn't tomato-based, but used cream of mushroom soup as a sauce when baking. but I recall the weird meat tenderizer hammer (it was a thrill when I was allowed to use it to beat the tough meat into submission) and the orange enamel dutch oven mom always used for it (in fact, I don't really recall that pan used for anything else)
thank you; I'm fairly introverted normally, so the first seven weeks or so didn't go so badly, and at east I didn't have to worry about my paycheck. but then I think I hit a wall or something, and the lack of physical human interaction (and boredom) got to me. happily that's mostly lifted some - I still miss 'normal' but have made it to a place where I'm not as dragged down
