It’s been so cold and rainy up here, my artyritous is getting too much to bare!
I need SUN!!!
Still shaking out the new kitchen... bought my first convection oven and a new big crock pot to go with the bread maker!
You bettcha when the old bod craves something, you better feed it what it wants! There’s a reason it does that, and to ignore it is bad medicine!
Glad to see your still cranking out all the good stuff on this thread!!!
Take care of yourself my FRiend!
It is June, we are not supposed to be hurting.
If I use the cooler, I hurt, if I don’t the computer over heats.
You are going to need to start over and read this thread again, as it has all kinds of crockpot recipes, none for your new conv. oven that I recall.
All you need to know for the crockpot, is a can of beer and lots of spices, if you don’t have the beer, then use tomatoes and I have always tried to save the last cup of strong coffee for cooking, any meats that are to be sealed or slow cooked.
When we had our own pork and did not have it smoked, I used lots of garlic, coffee and the drops of liquid smoke, the stuff in the brown square bottle, a drop or two is all you need.
Still like a drop or two of the smoke in my beans and meats.
When my sister was here in March, she cooked a corned beef, threw in the potatoes, onions, carrots and meat, opened the season packet, dumped it on top, put the lid on and said she would be back before it was done.
I asked if she wanted beer or coffee for the pot and she said no, she never added liquid to the meat in a crockpot......
It was the best corned beef that I have ever eaten.
Diana, says she cooks beef and pork with out the added liquid.
There was a time that I kept all 4 of mine going, during the summer or when I needed to cook and fill the freezer.
When the crockpot begin to be sold in all stores in the 1970’s, I worked in the variety store at Wellton, Az.
Wellton a farm/ranch town and there were many Mexican families that lived there......I listened to one of the women as she bragged that she had gotten one for Mother’s Day.
“It is heaven, you put the beans in the pot, just like you do on the stove, start it to cooking, go to sleep and when you wake up, breakfast is ready”. LOL, in my words, as my spell checker couldn’t handle hers.
At that time, it was luxury that I could not afford, but we sold 2 or 3 every couple weeks, to the ladies, who honestly knew how valuable they were, after a lifetime of cooking beans.
And those ladies are good cooks.
Have fun, there is a lot to learn, wish I could still use all the information that I have posted.
Blessings to you and your loved ones, stay safe.
FRiends are priceless.
