I have done this maybe twice before and probably wont do it again. Do any of you fourumites engage in this practice?

Yes but usually use a crock pot, or set the oven to turn off at a certain time...if yours has that feature. What usually happens to me is that I get in the middle of something and need an additional ingredient, depending on which place I am at, it is a couple of miles or so to the grocery store
