Also why do you suppose human bladders aren't made from sponge? A bladder made from sponge-like human tissue would be so much more convenient. I guess we wouldn't call it a bladder though if you think about what we call a bladder, our bladders were invented before the word bladder was invented -- sort of like the chicken and the egg thing. I wonder what we'd call a sponge human tissued bladder?

Crackpot for One
Why hasn't someone invented a crockpot for one? I don't want leftovers for a month. I might want leftovers for one night or maybe no leftovers at all after too large of a dosage (meal). Who wants to eat beans for a month? Or anything for a month? No one. Maybe someone would eat beans for a month but not me. My sister whom I work with already hates me enough as it is without eating more beans.

Why don't you just freeze the leftovers from the crockpot? They'll stay frozen for months. Or just 1/2 or 1/4 the recipe? As for the bladder conundrum... I'm no help there!
LOL...I love your ponderings. :) Yes, there needs to be a crockpot for one...definitely. Also, you could freeze the leftovers right? I dunno, I guess it depends on what it is. Also, why do they call an eggplant, an eggplant? I mean yeah, it's shaped like one just a little, but eggplants are way bigger than eggs, taste nothing like eggs, and they are dark purple in color. When's the last time you saw a large, purple egg? I think eggplants drew the short straw in the name giving contest. How's that for a pondering? :-P lol
Oh, by the way, did you name this entry Crackpot for One on purpose so we'd be lured over here to see if you are on drugs? LMAO
I had a freezer filled with beans and weird mixtures of icky things that I had not labeled. Luckily, during the last big storm, my electricity went out and I was able to throw all of these small containers of yuck and icky and beans mixed with said yuck and ick, away.
I just want a smaller crockpot (for a crackpot).
But then I might want smaller amounts of things to mix together. Darn it.

They DO make small crockpots. I have a large one and a small one. So, ha.
And a sponge human tissued bladder could be called sphutibla, maybe? That doesn't sound any weirder than bladder, imho. And it would probably work great. Gotta go...am working on my song stanza.
That's funny, I was just thinking the other day that I wished I had a smaller crockpot - GMTA?
I have a very small Rival crockpot that allows me to make servings for 2 easily. It even has a removable insert for easy clean-up. I think I got it at Target.

oi - Le Crueset do a 16cm Round Casserole! It's a real cutey. And good for beating burglars around the head with. In case you are burgled whilst Cooking For One. Or not.
They also do a Heart Casserole. For what reason I cannot imagine. Who wants to eat out of a heart?
And WHY are you posting anonymously on your own blog? Ah, the crack?...yes...I see!
I guess that's why they invented Depends!
Now I'm wondering why they call them that!
PS CalorieLab is looking for a new editor, so my column is down for a while, and I don't know for how long. I guess it depends :-(
Tell them you miss me :-)
Lol, I heart my crockpot...I'm quickly turning into my grandmother...I now think I have the power to freeze EVERYTHING!!!
I dunno, how about a neighborhood leftovers swap. Everybody walks into the middle of the street at 6 pm with a pot in their hands, exchanges it with a neighbor's, and goes back in the house. No fair peeking!
Boomer's idea totally cracked me up!!!
I have a small crockpot. I bought it at WalMart. Cost something like 10 or 11 bucks. Go get one.
You're welcome.
The bladder thing? I dunno. (Are you really on crack? Sheesh)
haha!! Go Boomer! excellent idea!
And yet, if you can afford crack, why not just chuck out your leftovers...who needs 'em?
Here's a little one:

Is that small enough?
Helen - Can't tell if the crockpot you show is small (without a relative scale comparison, like they used to do with a pack of smokes) so I found this pic:
big & little crocks
I see these tiny little crocks at my friend's metalworking studio - stained with such favorite carcinogens as "liver of sulfur" and the like ...
Anyway, I have to say, this is the only blog I visit that I actually read all the comments (usually I just barge in with only my own self importance!)
And I know what you mean about too many beans - I made up a much too giant batch of split pea soup - which i froze in much too big containers. I'm now (suddenly) trying to shake off the deep winter malaise by getting more serious about healthy eating - oatmeal for breakfast split pea soup and salad for lunch and dinner.
I was giving a neighbor a ride home the other night after my 4th bean meal in a row and I thought my colon was about to explode. I had to hold my butt up off the seat to mitigate the increasing pressure. Needless to say, I was relieved when the much too long parting pleasantries were done and I was able to duck into the privacy of my own kitchen.
Im with charlotte as its totally what I did when we were married and yet the husband turned up nose at all my foods.
eh, he still does.
I simply compel the child to eat what I do :)
missed you.
hope all is well.
Cooking for two often means leftovers as well! I made Ribollita (Tuscan bread soup) last night which took hours (mostly chopping and waiting for things to boil) and now I have like two gallons of this soup! I should have halved the recipe but I'm no good at fractions.
You can always freeze leftovers. I might do that. Can't imagine eating a soup laden with cabbage and kale for the next five nights!

Oh, duh, I should have read the first comment from Charlotte.
