Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

Facts
Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.
The owl is the only bird to drop its upper eyelid to wink. All other birds raise their lower eyelids.
The reason honey is so easy to digest is that it’s already been digested by a bee.
Roosters cannot crow if they cannot extend their necks.
The color blue has a calming effect. It causes the brain to release calming hormones.

Tips
Slow Cooking
Lifting Lid Lenthens Cooking timeKeep the lid on until the end of your cooking time unless instructed by the recipe. Each peek or stir allows significant heat to escape and adds about 20 minutes to the cooking time.
Cook Tomorrow’s Dinner
Cook when you have the most time-while you sleep! Prepare tomorrow's dinner and set it to cook in your lined-slow cooker before you go to bed. When you wake up, dinner's done. Transfer the food to storage containers and refrigerate to reheat at dinnertime.
