jdfreefly 1 #26 October 19, 2005 and a drink to go with it: * Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit. * Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V. * Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzine is lost). * Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it (in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia). * Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones; subtle sweet and mystic. * Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Suns deep into the heart of the drink. * Sprinkle Zamphour. * Add an olive. * Drink... but... very carefully. Methane Freefly - got stink?

mouth 0 #27 October 19, 2005 I've done the BBQ pork before but I cook it for almost 10 hours before I touch it. You casn freeze leftovers in small containers for later, too. Pork Chops and Apples slice apples (3-4) in bottom of crock pot add pork chops (rinsed) slice apples (1-2) on top of that add spicy mustard to taste (I just squirt it on top to liberally cover) toss in a garic clove whole add a can of chicken broth or even a cup of water cook 6-8 hours...remove chops add 1/2 cup of cream to the remainder and cook on high for 5 minutes to heat serve over rice Chopped Rice pork chops onion soup mix (store brand works) garlic minced 2 cans of cream of mushroom or chream of chicken soup Cook for 6-7 hours then add 1 to 1.5 cups rice and cook for another hour Roast Realize you can throw a frozen roast in along with veggies and as long as you add 1/2 cup of liquid it will cook fine. I add lots of potatoes but also fresh mushrooms and carrots...be creative Soup beef cut into stew (bite size) pieces carrots cut in small angled slices onion chopped celery in large stalks so I can pull it out and not eat it! lentils or other dried beans 3-4 cans beef broth season to taste (salt pepper garlic etc) Chicken Soup 2 cans of white chunk chicken (or two large breasts cubed and cooked lightly in a pan with olive oil) rice 1/2 cup chicken boulion (3 cubes) or 3 cans chicken broth carrots chopped onion chopped add fresh rosemary about an hour before you serve FYI...I'm not much on measuring as I've been cooking for so many years I just add -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

livendive 8 #28 October 19, 2005 Thanks, but I'm not sure tonight is a good night to have my brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick. I do have to work tomorrow you know. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #31 January 9, 2006 Okay, I realize this thread was about soup/stew, but I have just woken up to the best new use for my crockpot: apple cinnamon oatmeal! (cooked overnight, of course) 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (not the quick-cooking kind) 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1/2 to 3/4 tsp cinnamon pinch of salt 2 1/2 cups water (or a combination of water and apple juice) 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and chopped Combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours (or overnight) or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Yum! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenmeal 0 #32 January 9, 2006 I don't have my recipe handy.. But I've done the breakfast thing before with steel cut oats, walnuts, and chopped dried cranberries and apricots. Add a bit of cream and brown sugar.. Yum! "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #33 January 9, 2006 Sure kicks the ass of those little instant packets, doesn't it? Plus, I can make it so "sugar" isn't the first ingredient. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
