The Crock-Pot Ladies Big Book of Slow Cooker Dinners: More Than 300 Fabulous and Fuss-Free Recipes for Families on the Go by Heidi KennedyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A bog-standard slow cooker cookbook. Not a bad collection but not super-inspired either :c)
A good place to start if you've not used your Crock Pot much :c)

Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. RowlingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
What to say about this book?
Well...it's Harry Potter...you have to read it to get to the next one or you will get all confused and lost...
It is not, however, my favorite of the series...far from it!
It's not a bad book...it's just a bit slow and there's not a lot of the wonderful side stories and adventures that are so totally unrelated to the majority of the story they aren't included in the movies! These are the reason I read the books!
Very rarely will you see me checked in to a Harry Potter movie...they are so sorely lacking in content from the books that they ruin the whole experience for me! I totally prefer the books!

A Word About Holiday Songs
Note: I did not write this but I do agree with it. When looked at from a purely PC view anything can be twisted to fit the opinions of the killjoys who want to strip the joy out of everything. I will enjoy the holidays. I will listen to the old songs. Don't like it? Bugger off!
courtesy of Mary Ellen Crase on Facebook:
So while we are taking 'Baby It's Cold Outside' from the radios... I guess we should take the following off as well:
1. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus: subjecting minors to softcore porn
2. The Christmas Song: Open fire? Pollution. Folks dressed up like Eskimos? Cultural appropriation
3. Holly Jolly Christmas: Kiss her once for me? Unwanted advances
4. White Christmas? Racist
5. Santa Claus is Coming to Town: Sees you when you’re sleeping? Knows when you’re awake? Peeping Tom stalker
6. Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Everyone telling you be of good cheer? Forced to hide depression
7. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Bullying
8. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: Forced gender-specific gifts: dolls for Janice and Jen and boots and pistols (GUNS!) for Barney and Ben
9. Santa Baby: Gold digger, blackmail
10. Frosty the Snowman: Sexist; not a snow woman
11. Do You Hear What I Hear: blatant disregard for the hearing impaired
12. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas: Make the yuletide GAY? Wow, just wow
13. Jingle Bell Rock: Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet: animal abuse
14. Mistletoe and Holly: Overeating, folks stealing a kiss or two? How did this song ever see the light of day?
15. Winter Wonderland: Parson Brown demanding they get married…forced partnership.
16. Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer: Shaming the elderly for their public intoxication while trying to enjoy their golden years after a few drinks on their prescription meds.
