I’ll be watching this thread closely. It’s starting to feel like fall and I am ready to put the crackpot to work.

Crockpot! Damned auto correct.
Just made a huge pot of stroganoff.
We have made the Julia Child recipe a few times and it is insanely good. The problem is it is very time intensive.
I like America’s Test Kichens “Best Beef Stew”. It has some anchovies and a chunk of salt pork that is outside the box. I added pearl onions that were not called for because that is how I roll. This is my standard until further research.
I love The French Chef! Hilarity and great instruction. I take something from most of the Chefs that I follow, Graham Kerr did one of his healthy eating programs and said, only brown the meat on two sides for stew so the other sides can drink in the broth and aromatics...Jacques Pepin taught me “always crack an egg on a flat surface” and Emeril, Olof course, says “season both sides so it tastes good!” I love cooking and my Wife has become a social media phenomenon for her skills with leftovers and artistic plating. She is a joy to live with!

Hey, we’ve already had enough of Obama!
Please Ping! Thanks!
I’m the crackpot!! LOL!
Beef Stew is usually whatever is leftover in the fridge and a couple of potatoes. No recipe. Never had or tried Boeuf Bourguignon but then I don’t like the taste or smell of alcohol in a glass or my food.
Tonight, we had Chinese from an 8 oz leftover piece of 2.97/lb boneless beef rib I’d cooked as steak yesterday. Used the same skillet to take advantage of the drippings. Threw in leftover half an onion, leftover red bell pepper half, leftover green bell pepper half, a can of sliced pineapple, 1/2 C sugar, 1/2 C vinegar, 1/2 C ketchup, cayenne, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper and cornstarch in the pineapple juice to thicken. Served on rice. Yield 4 servings. Yum.
Crackpot would be a fairly accurate description of myself also.
There are lots of recipes for this, and I’m sure you can google one up for crockpot cooking.
Hi all!
I’m looking for a Deep Fried Scallop recipe but not finding a whole lot that are trustable.
Do you have any suggestions?
Also need a good fried oyster recipe too!
I make Scott Peacock’s menu for Christmas eve last year. I doubled the stew recipe and froze some for later. It is very rich, but we loved it. The whole menu was just lovely.

Julia Child’s Fast Saute For Two
(I just grabbed this link, never used it - I have Julia's book "The Way to Cook" - use beef or pork tenderloin)
LOL! ‘Julia Autotuned’! That is fabulous, Thank You!
I’d never seen it before.

If memory serves, her first episode (not preserved for posterity...I believe it was aired live) involved making French onion soup. And, she freely admitted later, she botched it. But hey, that’s how you learn.
