Since I found out that in things like lasana, cassaroles, etc. I don’t have to precook the pasta. Just throw it in and it cooks in the dish I’m making. No need for extra pans and a strainer that way.
we made a pot of beans last night and this time she bought a large package of ham with a big bone in it. tonite i vow to remember to bet out the cheese before i get all piggie.
I frequently braise a pork shoulder in milk and broth in the slow cooker. You end up with meat that has the texture of pulled pork and can add any flavour sauce you wish.
Ah, the ubiquitous “Crock Pot”! We sold a ton of these in our hardware store when it was first introduced back in the late sixties or early seventies. The first ones were small, but soon evolved into a variety of choices!.At Christmas time, we would gift wrap these, along with electric knives and toasters and place them on an end cap ready to go. The local “guys” would come into our store, sometimes after spending early Christmas Eve at the local “Power House”, desperate for a gift for mom..The “Power House” was what the Savage Minnesota Liquor Store bar was affectionately called in those days…

Except for the pasta, but I should try that, all my secret ingredients for chili are on the counter. No secret now.

Yeah, I bought a cookbook once, but it was too fancy. Every single recipe started with the same thing: “Take a clean bowl…”

Me too. Especially for soups.

Sorry, but a Plugger’s favorite recipe begins with “Peel back Foil Wrapper”.
