But I wanted to share a fantastic gift I received... A programmable Casserole Slow Cooker... 9X13 in size, so any normal casserole will fit, like this one!  I love this, can use as a warming tray, goes from oven to the warmer unit if you prefer to cook fast but then want to keep warm.  Is beautiful, will look great on any table and the locking lid makes this extra convenient for travel of you do a lot of Church Socials or big family get togethers... Love this!
