Buy a crock pot and some of those disposable containers (Gladware, etc) make a few of the recipies in the booklet that comes with your slow cooker.
I just got one of the newer crock pots with a built in timer, that way if you don't get home on time, your food doesn't overcook.
Allrecipies has a slow cooker section, with lots of slow cooker recipies.
Freaking furnace broke last night, playing hooky fixing it today so I popped a turkey breast with a bunch of spices in the slow cooker. Smells good already.
