I know it seems like I've turned into a Foodie (ohnoez!) but I *must* tell about the slow-cooker turkey breast I made. It came out *great*. Nice and moist, not tough at all, like turkey breasts always turn out when I cook them in the oven.

In this case, I plunked it down in my smallest slow-cooker, and added about a quarter of a cup of apple juice. Turned it on high for 4 hours, and then low for a few more, and then let it rest for a about twenty minutes and wow! Yum!

With homemade mashed potatoes and cranberry jelly, omg, perfect for tonight.

I love those days when the food comes out just right and every one loves it.

I completely understand your excitement. There is something very satisfying and creative in making a meal that is perfect. They had it right with that old cookbook title (which I have from my mother), it is hard to describe the "Joy of Cooking".

I really need more food icons than just cookies, coffee, and chocolate ;-)
