I use a pressure cooker for my chili. It takes half an hour with a mixture of beef chuck and pork butt.

Bread can go into both toaster and crockpot. Soup should not go in toaster.

Crockpot is superior.

by the time someone turns 30 the cultural wave they grew up in has run its course. and what do you know, they start to feel some affinity for the artifacts of that wave as well as earlier waves that have come and gone because now they understand the relentless march of time
