About once a month Ruth cooks a really nice meal in our huge crock pot.  We put in what we will be eating later on in the day and when we come back to our apartment it is ready.  Yummy!  Ruth decided we were going to have chicken.  Here is the process step by step.

First, we went to the store and bought a whole chicken.

  
When we opened it up to clean it we pulled out the innards and this is what was inside.

For some reason Ruth didn't want to put the head and the feet into the crock pot.  I think the chicken really felt lonely without them!

We threw in some potatoes, carrots, onions, squash and lots of butter and let it cook slowly for about 6 hours.

Here is the finished product.  Cooked to perfection and so delicious.  

It looks almost to good to be eaten.  Don't ask us where the head and feet are!
