This little crockpot had cooked many pots of spaghetti sauce during its younger years. My prince purchased it while he was in college (1988).

He made a pot of spaghetti sauce before heading to class. When he came home that night, he cooked a pot of noodles to go with the sauce. The meal lasted him for several days.
Like all stories, a female came into the picture and messed up everything. After the prince and I met, the prince spent more evenings eating dinners with me and my family. Mom's cooking outweighed a pot of spaghetti sauce any day. The little crockpot was out of a job. It sat on the countertop to the end of the prince's college years. The little crockpot followed the prince to St. Louis and Miami, but it was seldomly used. Even after the prince and I got married, the little crockpot was just a fixture on the shelf.
However, everything changed for the little crockpot last year. It had its old job back. It was cooking two to three meals a week. I have to admit that it was a relief to come home around five o'clock knowing that dinner was ready. I used the crockpot so much that the knob fell off. Just because the knob fell off, it did not deter me from using it.
For sentimental reasons, I tried to hold on to it as long as possible. You probably think I am a nut, and I need help. You're probably right (LOL). You need not to worry. I threw the old one out, when Mom found me a nice crockpot for $5.00 at the garage sale.

When the little red sweater did not fit me anymore, I put it in the bottom of my drawer. Many times, the little red sweater ended up in the Goodwill bag. However, I managed to rescue it, before Mom made her trip to Goodwill. When I graduated from college, the little red sweater came with me.
