I finished that hat I was working on. No, I still haven't weaved the ends in! Thanks for noticing.
2YO was more than happy to model it for me. 
In between shots, I would have to show them to her and she would say, "Aaaaawwwww!!!" Obviously, self esteem is not a problem for her. It might be a problem for the rest of the world, but that's their problem, right?
One more shot for, you know....posterity? Okay, maybe not quite....
And what do we have here? That's right...I made THIS yesterday!
It was like opening a present! I couldn't wait to open all the layers and see how it all turned out.
The veggies....ummm...let's just say that I will use something larger the next time. Also, I might not put them at the very beginning. If we had a baby in the house, these veggies were just a small step away from being baby food. But we don't, so I forced my family to eat them anyway! You live, you learn.
Notice how the color of the peas makes them look canned? I can assure you that these are frozen peas and carrots. They just cooked so long that they were about as far from their natural state as you can get.
What are theses? Are these baked potatoes???
Why YES! Yes they are!
And they are absolutely perfect! We ate all six last night!
But, what about the meat?
Personally, the meat tasted good....but that's only because I happen to be a fan of beef jerky. I won't use as much seasoning the next time because boy were they salty! Plus, I didn't use the actual rib eye steaks that the recipe called for. I used what I had in the freezer, which happened to be round steaks. A thicker cut of meat would have cooked up much better! I simply alternated small bites of meat with bites of potato and veggies. That was the easiest way to handle all the salt!

I will definitely make this again. I will use a thicker cut of meat and a different veggie, if I cook the veggies in there at all! I might just fill the rest of my slow cooker with potatoes. Those will not go to waste in my house!
What's next? Not sure...I think I want to try THIS. I'm headed to the store to stock up on options.
