It has become apparent that my
days as a farm homemaker have
split into two distinct time periods,
in tact, I now wonder how I
managed to operate from 1964 to
1980 B.C.
B.C. in this case means "Betore
Crockpots.”
Oh sure, I had the oven, the
electric try pan, the microwave.
Still, none ot these quite tilled the
particular need ot a cook who
trequently departs the kitchen tor
a lull day and dreads to come home
to a family wanting supper on the
table live minutes ago.
The crockpot, bless its warm,
simmering heart, is the perfect
answer.
I’ve discovered I can pack up
and leave tor a day at a cattle
show, tor instance, and return

or call 717-354-0723 after 6 p.m. East of New Holland, Pa.

home to a pot of ham and fresh
string beans cooked to juicy
perfection.
Arriving home an hour later than
expected no longer leaves the pot
roast dried up and tasteless, only
more fork-tender.
On those days when everyone
wanders in tor supper at difterent
times, the soup, or stew, or chili in
the crockpot eliminates the
reheating hassle. Besides that,
everyone can serve themselves
and still leave only one kettle to
clean.
And in the midst ol this canmng
treezmg season, I’ve tound the
crockpot is right handy as an extra
cooking utensils to prepare ap
plesauce, or tomatoes, or pum
pkin, or corn lor processing.
Now here’s a little hint if you’d
like to add a crockpot to your
kitchen essentials, but just haven’t
gotten around to doing so.
Mine arrived under last year’s
Christmas tree. It followed
numerous broad hints, suggestions
and obviously pointed comments
about how "a crockpot would
really come in handy lor the way
we live.”
Beware, it is not too early to
begin mapping plans to similarly
acquire this irreplaceable kitchen
necessity. You know there are only
124 days left until Christmas. .
