From the Zedium Podcast Network, it's Fletchhorn and Haley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Producer Shannon got a crock pot, this we know. How's it going, Shandog? Oh, look, hives and lows. Hives and lows, those are the two sitting on a crock pot. That's true. Do you want to do it in four or eight?

Well, my issue is, so when I make a meal, normally I get four serves out of it. and I've got four containers but only three lids. For fuck's sake. And so I have to glad wrap Tuesday's top. But then I get Monday's lid. Shannon, we just last week, the office manager came down and put on display all of, from three, are we three levels? Three levels. She put all of the leftover containers, lunch containers in one area.

And it was astounding. It blew everybody away. Did you go for a little shop? I did. I had a little pinch around. She was barking. That we weren't allowed to touch it. You took some things that you said were yours even though I felt like you were lying.

I was lying in a year when she said they're not yours. I said suck up. I remember vividly at primary school they paraded us all around with all the lost clothes and property. And nobody owned up to the undies. Yes. Yes, everyone was like. Why would you own up to the undies? That's mad.

That's mad. That's madness. I'm not admitting my undies are on the ground. That's social suicide. Yeah. I didn't take any containers. Because as we know, I'm space poor in the apartment. I don't have space for more container.

No, but I just need one more lid. Here's an idea in a small, tiny inner city apartment. Put a little dot of valkro on the lid of the container and then put a valko dot on your ceiling and then put it up. Store it on the roof. You could have hanging steamers on the roof. Like I'm a bar in the wine glasses. Yeah, exactly.

That's a phenomenal suggestion then. Thank you. Well, no, my little Tuesday glad wrap works well. Tuesday gets glad wrapped. Monday come home from work. Clean Monday's lid. It now goes on. on Tuesday, happy days.

Okay. So the crock pot's going well. What kind of lid? I feel like I'm just going to fucking buy you a lid. There's a lid's out in the kitchen still. There's a bag of lids. Guys, I'm telling you, I'm fine. Wait, is there a matching lid out on the kitchen right now?

I don't know. I don't, I'm fine. But you could be finer. But you could be finer. Exactly. You know, I love my little life. No, but imagine getting home on a Monday. You don't have to wash a lid.

You don't have to want. You could take your time with washing. No, I'm happy. Okay. So, one thing I'm not super happy with is how. is how hard the crock pot is to clean. As I mentioned, my sink's too small. It's very hard.

My scrub daddy grew chia, as I told you. And he went moldy. He finally stopped smiling. Just a reminder, we did renew the lease again for the second time of meth towers for this tiny apartment. As in she was given the opportunity to leave. Just last month. And an update on the microwave. It still haven't got it replaced yet, just so you know.

The one that blew up. No. Are you kidding me? Yeah, no. I was going to blow up. No, I've unplugged it now, so it's fine. So you can't use it. No, no, no, no.

So Croppot, hard to wash, as we've discussed. And look what I've got on my hot hands. I got some mail from the lovely Bridget. And Bridgett. Who's the lovely Bridget? She's a listener of our wonderful show. Oh, hi, Bridget. And she said, hi, producer Shannon.

I heard about your introduction to the slow cooker world. Welcome. They're so handy. And she starts talking about how hard they are to clean. And she said, while I was staying with my brother in the UK, Hey, look what I have found for you. And she has bought me some little crock pot liners, almost like a condom for my pot.

A slow cooker Connie. Okay. To protect the pot. But it's literally a non-stick service. You're just putting this cheap, thin plastic in your food now. No, it doesn't look cheap. I mean, Bridget sent me this as a gift. I'm very thankful.

I'm not having a go at Bridgett here. How does the plastic not bounce? Shall I open it? I haven't even opened it yet. It's probably, it might be tin foil. It might be, is it tin foil, maybe. Okay, maybe this is a bit dodgy. It looks like cellophane.

Oh, okay. So. But if it's not a melt it all through your stew. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, the microplastics. It does just look like a sheet of salafane. It says I can cook up to 200 degrees in it. Okay.

And it says you have to. This chicken comes in a bag sometimes that you can cook in. Yeah, it does. Yeah, like a oven bag. So it's just an oven bag, basically. But this means now I don't have to wash my crock pot in the shower. I reckon it's. Wait a minute.

I told you that it's too small for the sink. She has little bits of carrot in her plug hole. She's going to toe jam them down. No, so I'll, I'm not, it's not that bad, but what I do is because the scrub daddy died finally. Yeah. I kind of have been using like a scrubby tool just in the pot and then giving it the final go. Yeah, right. That's great.

What are we going to do, eh? What are we going to do with you? Nothing. I'm happy, man. I've got oven pot pot liners. And please. continue to send your recipes to me on Instagram. I really appreciate everyone who's supported me on this journey.

What's the best one that you've made so far, your best crock pot recipe? I've only made two things. Okay. You've just made them over and over and over and over. What have you made? What are your recipes? Well, I learned about chicken thighs from you guys. So I had chicken thighs.

The superior bit of the chicken. Yeah. Chicken thighs, oon noodles, some bok choy and some goo. Like I'm a good Yeah And it served me I got eight meals out of that one And as good

I'm rocking at the moment My lunches are costing me About $3 a lunch See this is good That's a bloody good And the cost of living crisis It's good stuff the old crocky Money you've saved
