Nothing like coming home to a crockpot plugged in on the counter. In my family, that usually meant some sort of delicious stew was on its way, waiting to be sopped up with bread and shoveled into my mouth. But not everybody is a stew person. Some people are turned off by the slow-cooked and instead relish the fresh or the pan-fried. Those things have their place on the plate, by all means, but to me, the longer something's been cooking, the more love I can tell went into it. When the meat falls apart on your fork, when disparate flavors have come together to form something greater than the sum of its parts, that's my favorite kind of dinner.
Much like a stew, these memes are great on their own, yes, but ultimately best when taken as a whole. So pop the pressurized lid, give it a good stir, and enjoy.
