I didn’t get where I am today by ever missing a meal or never going to a drive thru. Every now and then I do get a wild hair up my ass and make the attempt to cook, but if I even get an inkling my other half is down to dine out or order in…I’m game.

Now that the dust has settled though, the wedding is over and I’m moving into a new chapter in life it’s time to start putting on ‘my big girl panties’ and test the cooking waters.  I’ve heard it lots from people who obviously aren’t on my level say, “Just throw stuff in the crockpot, it’s so easy.”  This morning I did just that and inside brewing was the biggest spider ever.

Case in point…
