I got a slow cooker! Great timing, as the season is finally starting to turn. Remember a while back I was cooking on weekends? Well, the husband was wondering when that would be returning. Well, Husband, that time is now!
I didn’t say it would be great cooking, though. My first slow-cooker creation was this pork tenderloin dish made with plums and crushed pineapple. Not great. The pork wasn’t all that moist. The meat didn’t absorb the flavor all that well. The brown rice was mushy.

I am a 37 year old Chinese woman and I cannot make a decent pot of rice. I miss my rice cooker. Sigh.

This was last Sunday’s dinner. Stay tuned for my second try with the SC…
