So what do you do when it's too hot to turn on the oven, you don't have a microwave, it costs too much to go out to eat, and you don't have a grill, either?
What you do is snag a couple of broken chairs left by the former owner and set the crockpot on the patio. Make sure you're on good terms with your neighbors.
This week we've had:
Garlic chicken thighs. (Which turned out amazingly tasty for how plain they were. Maybe it was the thunderstorm that hit them.)
Huevos rancheros. (This worked really well, too. Put some canned tomatoes and green chiles out to get hot for an hour or so, then add as many eggs as you need and cook for another hour. Top with grated cheese.)
French fries with hamburgers on top. (This didn't work. Save the hamburgers for when you actually have a grill.)
Lentil-rice casserole, which then got chilled with a bunch of vegetables added for a salad for supper.
It's a little odd looking, but it's working well and my kitchen is staying cool.

Hmm, this is all well and good and tantalising, but maybe you could give us a RECIPE for the delicious-sounding garlic chicken thighs and lentil casserole. I've recently become quite a fan of the ol' crockpot.
