That's neat about the mini-crockpot, Sky. I just bought a mini-chopper (mini-food processor) as I don't like how "high" the blades are of a regular food processor or blender are when you want to mix together such small amounts of stuff. I went on vacation right after I got it and haven't gotten to try it yet. I can't wait to make my own salsas, sauces and grill mixtures.
