crockpot cabbage danger?

Sometimes the imagination is just fired up -- I saw a recipe for slow cooker red cabbage with pears and cranberries, and I had to make it. Even on a work night. I just got done chopping the veggies, and layering them into the crockpot -- it should be done in the morning (the last time I tried this, I forgot to turn the crockpot on and woke up to very bad smelling lamb curry that had sat out all night, not cooking!), so I'll be able to take some for lunch. At least, I hope so! Now, it's late and I'm off to bed. I hope the red cabbage turns out well!
