These days, I don't have to cook too often, but company is coming tonight. So, I dug out a slow cooker recipe, and got ready to brown the meat.

这些天，我不必经常做饭，但是公司今晚就要来了。 因此，我挖出一个慢炖锅的食谱，准备将肉去褐色。

Of course, I didn't want to end up with oil spattered all over my work clothes (shorts and a t-shirt), so I grabbed the apron that my daughter made for me.

当然，我不想最后在工作服(短裤和T恤)上撒满油，所以我抓住了女儿为我做的围裙。

As you can see in the picture below, this is proof that I'm an EXCEL-lent cook, but not very good at ironing.

从下面的图片中可以看出，这证明了我是EXCEL熟练的厨师，但是熨烫效果不是很好。

How long does it take to barbeque a package of hot dogs, and defrost an apple pie?

And in case you were wondering, here is the dinner that I was browning, when I had to grab that apron. It smells great, as it simmers in the slow cooker, so I hope the company enjoys it.

如果您想知道的话，这是我要去吃围裙时我正在烤的晚餐。 它在慢炖锅中immer煮时闻起来很香，所以我希望公司喜欢它。
