crockpot vs grill (Katy)

[Guest guest]

No, we have no grill.

 

 

Couldn't use it if we did: all open fires are banned in the state of

Colorado, including charcoal.

 

I'm using the crockpot in lieu of the stove these days as much as I can;

takes longer but puts out a lot less heat.

 

And the idea to mix tofu in with scrambled egg dishes is great! Think I'll

try it next time I make " breakfast burritos " .

 

(About the only time they don't notice the tofu is when I use it in cake.)

(I'm a sneaky mom!)

You have no grill? (I tend to use my crockpot in the winter, grill in

summer.)

Do you eat eggs? I find that if I make a dish that involves scrambled eggs

(pad thai) , I can also scramble in some tofu and it isn't really noticed.

 

But they also love it marinated and grilled.

 

Happy experimenting!

Hi Angel,

 

I think you misunderstand the fire ban. Charcoal grills at you home

are not banned, according to the govenor.

Please see:

I'd hate for you to miss out on grilling outside because you were

improperly informed.

Declaring a Statewide Ban on Open Burning and the Sale and Use of

Fireworks

 

 

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Office of the

Governor of the State of Colorado, and in particular Article IV,

Section 5 of the Colorado Constitution and Sections 23-30-308, 24-20-

20-108, and 24-32-2100 et seq. of the Colorado Revised Statutes, I,

Bill Owens, Governor of the State of Colorado.

 

 

 

1. Background and Need.

 

 

 

On June 4th, 2002, I issued Executive Order D 012 02 banning open

burning on state lands. Since that time, approximately 200,000 acres

have burned in the State of Colorado. Today, I issued Executive

Order D 014 02, declaring a statewide disaster emergency due to the

occurrence of and imminent threat of wildfires.

 

 

 

Additional measures are warranted to respond to this extreme risk and

occurrence of wildfires caused by human activities. After thorough

investigation and evaluation of the fire risk, I conclude that I must

take action to minimize the serious danger to public health presented

by open burning and the use of fireworks.

 

 

 

In response, this Executive Order bans open burning throughout the

State of Colorado and bans the sale and use of all fireworks.

 

 

 

2. Mission and Scope.

 

 

 

I hereby order the following:

 

 

 

A. A statewide ban on open burning.

 

 

 

i) For purposes of this order, " open burning " is

defined as any outdoor fire, including but not limited to campfires,

warming fires, charcoal grill fires, and the use of any fireworks.

 

ii) For purposes of this order, " open burning " does

not include:

 

a) gas or charcoal grills located at private residences;

 

b) fireplaces within buildings;

 

c) professional commercial fireworks displays;

 

d) prescribed burning ditches for irrigate pastures and

croplands.

 

B. A statewide ban on the sale and use of fireworks.

 

3. Duration.

 

This Executive Order shall remain in force until modified or

terminated by further executive order of the Governor.

 

 

 

GIVEN under my hand and the

Executive Seal of the State of Colorado,

this 10th

Day of June, 2002.

 

 

Bill Owens

 

Governor
