(thoughts)
"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar
"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
- Flannery o'Connor
"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
- NT Wright
"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
- Stan Hauerwas
"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
- Thomas Merton
"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
- Acts of the Apostles
"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."
- St. Augustine

Slow Cookin'
I think I am in love! I recently sed a crock pot to prepare a meal and now I don't think I could make dinner again any other way!! Sure, it was a small meal but it was definately precious! This was how it went: Pork Tenderloin Roast
1 Potato
1 Large Carrot
1/2 Onion
3 Cloves of Garlic
5 Spears Asparagus, for flavor
Salt & Pepper, to taste Honestly, I don't know if there could be any tastier thing under the sun. Seriously, it was fantastic. Ok, I'm done. Everybody, go buy yourself a crockpot and make REAL food for dinner!

Crock pots are definitely necessities.
They're good but I don't know about them being the only option.
You can't make classics sauces in a crockpot. You can't sear meat properly in a crockpot. You can't sweat or caramelize in a crock pot.
But, you can make some killer soups and roasts.
Without a doubt Crockpots (or slow cookers as we call them here in Canada) are necessities. Everything tastes better.
