Pot roast
I received a slo-cooker (aka crock pot) recently and put it to use yesterday. I made a pot roast.
Turned out okay though the flavor needs more salt and is too tomato-ey. Also, I was impatient so I cooked it on high and the meat is on the tough side for a roast. I'll adjust the recipe next time, but the thing with a slo-cooker is you have to spend about ten days finishing each dish.
Web subscriptions are pricey (Salon charges $30 per year for an ad-free subscription). Compare that with $24.95 for a year's subscription to a print magazine like The New Yorker and it seems expensive. Compare it to the cost of 2 or 3 CDs in which only 33% of the songs are memorable and it doesn't seem so bad.

You gotta pay to play
Bummer. Baseball Prospectus is going to start charging for most of its content. $39.95 for a year's worth.Web subscriptions are pricey (Salon charges $30 per year for an ad-free subscription).
