The Chain Saw and the Crock-Pot

It's essential for me to plan dinner when I'm going to be doing lumberjack work in the woods. It is a certainty that I'll return to the house with a ferocious appetite. I won't be able to wait while I prepare anything more elaborate than a peanut butter and honey sandwich. The P.B. and H. Sammy isn't the hearty hot meal that I need.

Therefore, before setting out, I fill my trusty Crock-Pot with ingredients for something special. One of my favorites is Arroz con Queso, page 106 in Rival Crock-Pot Cooking.

Returning from my labors, I lift the lid on the slow cooker. As I inhale the delicious aroma, I gratefully ask, "And what has the Little Woman fixed for my supper?"
