Both the NY Post and the Daily News have articles on slow-cookers (a.k.a. Crock-Pots) today.  Does that make me a "budget minded hipster"?  Regardless, I am still eating my bounty from two of the three dishes I've made in mine so far -- a curry lentil soup, and a pork chili verde -- having frozen portions at the time I made them.  Next up may be some sort of pot roast, brisket, or beef stew, and I also want to try an Indian chicken or lamb curry.  Or maybe this -- sounds tasty!
