The Adventure Begins

I have unpacked the slow cooker, washed, rinsed, and dried the ceramic insert, assembled the cooker and the ingredients - chicken, sausage, okra, onion, tomatoes, spices - and set it to cook on Low for five hours. (I have no idea whether that is an appropriate time-length, but part of the point of slow-cooking is that an error is less damaging than in regular cookery.)

About an hour and a half has elapsed. In another couple of hours, I'll begin working on the homemade apple pie which, along with the stew and a tossed salad, will constitute this year's Thanksgiving-week feast. Good smells are already emanating from the kitchen.
