This looks great...similar to a curry veggie soup I make on the stove, but happy to have a slow-cooker version! And my suggestion for other slow-cooker recipes - LOVE the Cook's Illustrated Slow-Cooker Cookbook. A bunch are veggie/vegan friendly and all are tasty tasty

I have been growing tomatoes in one of these Topsy Turvy planters for the last 6 weeks. It is doing great!! I have at least 70 tomatoes coming in and we're early for the season. You can see a picture of my plant at http://jasonapartment.shutterfly.com/38. What's more, I never thought it would work given that I have northern exposure in an English basement front lot that only gets a couple hours of direct sun each day (the rest of my plants - beans, eggplant, peppers, squash, cucumbers - are also doing well in their containers). And best of all, I get compliments about once a week from people walking by on the street who've never seen one up close before. :-)

Just made these and I love them. I didn't have any loose leaf tea left so I ripped open bags of Tazo Citron Black Tea - took four tea bags for the steeping and two tea bags in the dry ingredients. Also didn't have any lemon so I used lime zest which turned out nice.

Lastly, after a dozen muffins I ran out of muffin liners, so I used the last bit of batter and made six "scones" by rolling the dough into balls (about 2 tbsp each) and baking them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper the same way as the muffins. They turned out great as well, in fact I like the slightly harder smooth "crust" even better than the muffins!
