Slice #24 -- The Crock-pot

I am a member of our local art museum.  They send out emails titled Object of the Day linking to pieces in the museum and providing some info.  It's nice, and what I will imitate during the Slice of Life challenge for 2024.  Each day, I am highlighting an object used in my daily life and generating a piece of art to accompany my writing by using the AI program, Adobe Firefly.

Today... the crock-pot.

Sunday is food prep day.  I usually spend a few hours prepping lunches, snacks, and dog food for the week.  After prepping for hours, I don't want to spend much time on dinner later, so I often get something in the slow cooker for dinner during this time also.  

An ode to the slow cooker may be a weird one, but it honestly does positively impact my life.  Because I am often in evening classes, we use it multiple times a week.  It's a way to send my husband a little love through a warm meal even though I can't be home with him to eat it.  The crock-pot also allows me to make pretty big batches--freezing half for future lunches.  Plus, it makes the house smell great!  What a simple, beautiful object in my life.

Today, a good old fashioned chicken noodle soup full of ginger, onions, garlic, carrots, and celery!  This AI art is pretty goofy, but I couldn't get over the carrots in a chef's hat.  Wishing everyone the time to cook up something yummy this week.
