It's A Crock Pot World: (Almost) Everything you could ever want to know about this trusted home ktichen appliance.

Site: http://rivalcrockpotworld.blogspot.com/

This isn't the first Crock Pot-themed entry I have posted here (and probably not the last either, lol) but I thought that this was still worthy of note here; I recently came across another curious little site with a specific focus: the Rival Crock Pot. Similar to the hubpage which I earlier wrote about here, the site CrockPot World has some similar info on the history of the well known slow cooker and its interesting origins. However, there is some more to this site which is actually of some use to many CrockPot owners. The site also has asection about the many diverse accessories that are available to Crock Pot owners, such as the mini-dipper, the insertable meat racks that come in different shapes based on your Crock's shape, the travel cases (neat!), the dust covers, and the Crock Pot brand heat-resistant silicone stainless steel cooking utensils.

Did you know that there are even an assortment of Crock Pot brand Potpourri available for use in your trusty slow cooker? Yeah, there is a lot of stuff available out there.

Finally, there is an informative section of this site which deals primarily with the merits of learning how to DIY when it comes to some of the more simple maintenance of your Rival Crock-Pot with Crock Pot replacement parts. Like is mentioned on the site, it is amazing how many Crock Pot owners are ready to just give up on their Crock Pot when all it really needs is some relatively minor TLC.

With all those pierced navels out there, the need to find quality navel rings is growing.

Young women have taken up the look with relish, lapping up the new opportunity it gives to decorate the body.

WARNING: Bachelor in the kitchen

site: http://bachelorkitchen.blogdrive.com/

This site caught my eye because it seems to be another example of pattern interrupt: it is a recent blog by a man who seems to be in his mid to late forties, who regularly plays poker with his buddies, and who has arecent new found passion for slow cooking. Amusingly, this guy admits that he tried in vain to introduce the subject of the merits of using a slow cooker to his buddies at the poker table. As you can imagine, his poker buddies have quickly grown tired of his new found passion and have blocked this conversation from the table! As a result this blog of his was formed and now internet readers will be the beneficiaries of this. He does not only discuss the merits and convenience of using a slow cooker, but also how they have become so very advanced (eg. programmable , electronic and some even high/extreme temperature resistant for use inside ovens) and how there are now a whole plethora of crock pot cook books available on the market as well as a range of Rival crockpot parts for maintaining your slow cooker and temperature resistant crock pot accessories. An amusing site to browse.

LED ZEPPELIN REUNION TOUR

Site: http://ledzeppelinreuniontour.blogspot.com

There is no question that one of the biggest musical events of 2007 was the long awaited Led Zeppelin reunion concert. Although it was promoted as a one-off performance, that has done little to dampen Zeppelin fans hopes for any announcement of a future Led Zeppelin reunion tour. Of course there are a number of sites out there devoted to the subject of Zeppelin and their rock legend status, however I have only come across one site where the discussions of the Zepp are embroidered with occasional references or similes to crock pot recipes; don't be surprised if while quoting the latest Rolling Stone magazine discussion of any possible Zeppelin tour , the writer suddenly throws in a simile of the members of the band coming together for a rehearsal being akin to the ingredients of a crockery recipe being combined together and allowed to slowly cook over the span of a few hours! Yeah, I don't think you can say that there are too many sites out there dealing out that combination...

Crock Pot in the kitchen: A short history.

Site: http://hubpages.com/hub/Crockpots


Many people who are involved in the whole "web 2.0" phenomenon are at least vaguely familiar with HubPages.com . Basically, Hubpages is a host site for a diverse community of mini-sites that are available for free to anyone who wants one. It is very similar to Squidoo in that respect. Also like Squidoo, Hubpages encourages its members to host as many separate pages, or "hubs" as they are referred to on the site itself, as they like. In fact the site readily encourages its members to have more as opposed to fewer sites. When you remember that the host site takes a share of all adsense revenues earned on the sites mini-pages, the logic behind this becomes clearer. Anyway, it is not that uncommon to see members with well over a hundred hubs to their credit! (Remember, however that a hub can be little more than a prettied up article in many cases) My own personal preference for hubs - well at least for my own limited attention span - is to browse through those that are shorter in nature: I appreciate the effort that goes into a longer piece of work, however I find that if I like your shorter pieces of prose then I will be willing to graduate up to your longer masterpieces! A recent hub that I came across that was a very good example of this was one on a subject I had not even set out to find: the history of crock pots. Yes Crock pots, the slow cooker created by the Rival company way back in the early seventies. In fact it was almost a lucky accident that saw the Rival company chefs toying with the freshly acquired beanery appliance and finding that it cooked meat very well(see I learned that from a hub!) It was clear, concise and most importantly: a quick read while sitting in front of the computer. This hub about the history of the Rival Crock Pot, Crock Pot in the kitchen: A short history, can be found along with many others on HubPages. Give it a looksee and see if you find yourself wanting something longer...
