indeed! and wouldn't it be nice to have a choice between what you
thought you wanted and what you actually wanted! and wouldn't it be
nice to not have to settle for merely what they wanted to sell you -
but instead to get what you wanted! (does anyone know where i can get
a crock-pot with an interior bowl that can be refrigerated, a timer
so that the crock-pot will come on when you want it to, and a
're-heat' setting? i've looked for years, written every manufacturer
of crock-pots that i've heard of - but still haven't been able to
find such a tool. it is all off-the-shelf technology, but no one
wants to sell it to me....)
