Looks like it's a run to the grocery store for me!


Ya, the 6.5 quarter is on the big side too..... It's perfect for larger roasts or chicken but not for the 2 of us here.

And be honest, S2S, yer in crockpot heaven!!! [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Sounds like it could be your choice or preference, Greedy...... Tell you what, if you and the Pirate honeymoon up here, we'll take you to dinner at the place where the wedding reception was.... Best damned Italian food ever with sausages and meatballs to DIE for!!

*drools*

(dammit, why am I always on the food threads when I'm starving?!?)

Well, is it pathetic to admit that it only takes something like a crock pot to make me happy?  sigh.....yeah, I thought so too.......[&o]




Rainfire -> RE: CrockPottery (or 'What's NEXT for dinner?) (1/14/2009 9:42:08 AM)

[8|]  Then I must be really pathetic. When it came time for my birthday and Christmas, Lumus had to specifically tell me to ask for something for ME, that it was not the kitchen's birthday or Christmas time for the kitchen. My first preference is usually kitchen-goodies..... I'm thinking right now that we need a new can opener, knife sharpener and I could really use a decent knife. Ooooo, and a new coffee maker, with a timer! (So I don't have to get up at 530 am to make coffee but can stay in bed and snuggle....)

(Or tools...)




redslady -> RE: CrockPottery (or 'What's NEXT for dinner?) (1/14/2009 11:38:55 AM)

5 pound pork roast, browned

1 onion, sliced

1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped

2 carrots, cut into circles

1/4 C. brown sugar, not packed

1 can crushed pineapple or a fresh one, sliced

1 T. tomato paste

1 T. soy sauce

salt and pepper to taste

a pinch of ground ginger or a few slices fresh
Sear the pork roast in a heavy fry pan.
Add the pork roast to the slow cooker after browning it. In the same pan you browned the roast in, add the remaining ingredients. Stir together to blend and add to the cooker.

Cook on low for 8 hours.

Oh good lord,  this is downright dangerous information in my hands.  I had no idea you could do cakes in a crock pot.

Guess what I got from my Master for Christmas?  Some silicone kitchen utensils I've been wanting and my new collar!  I was very happy on both accounts!

In the past I have been most pleased with Christmas presents that included a Ryobi straight shaft weedeater, a trailer to pull behind my riding lawnmower (for hauling plants, potting soil, etc.), a chainsaw and a 4 cup electric percolator coffeemaker. [:)]
