I Love to Work at Nothing All Day


And I'll be... 
Taking care of business, every day
Taking care of business, every way

2 crockpot meals for the effort of one.
With veggies already prepped, this is beyond easy. Embarassingly easy. Dump into crockpot, set on high 3 hours, walk away.
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business. and working overtime
Work out
 Once home, slice ham and serve the miscreants.
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid


Crockpot Tomato Soup... dump and run, baby!
 Into crockpot goes veggies, broth, 2 cans diced tomatoes, and seasoning, Bouquet Garni this time.
 Set crockpot for 4 hours on high, finish it up later....
 After cooking all day, it's almost good enough to eat just like this! Smells fantastic!
 I didn't dice veggies small as recipe directed, that takes more time. Besides using a boat motor/submersible blender stick is an easy cheat. I blended til thick chunky, but not smooth.
 Make a roux... spelled scary, looks scary at first. I used half of a stick of butter and 3/4 C flour. Melt butter and add flour. Whisk til thick but not lumpy.
A couple of ladles of hot soup get whisked into the pot with the roux. Whisk until smooth. It will still look thick and kind of scary. Add more ladles of soup into the roux until about half of the hot soup is added...keep whisking until it is stirred smooth. Then add soup/roux pot into crockpot. Whisk again.
 Rinse roux pot and then add 2 C half n half and warm on stove top. You could micro, but that would be another dirty dish. Once warmed, DO NOT BOIL, whisk into crockpot. Let "meld" in crockpot while preparing cheese sandwiches.


 Trader Joe's Oat Bread with swiss and co-jack cheeses. Serve with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
One, two, three, four
And we be... 
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
