Crock Pots......
I made my first crock pot meal of the winter last night......a 2# porketta simmered in white wine with spuds,garlic, potatoes,onions, and sweet carrots. It was %$%$%$%$ing insane  and I'm looking forward to my next creation. Any of our resident gourmets here use this old school technology and what do you make? |

The best crock pot meal I've ever had was Swiss Steak. My wife got the recipe from a friend and she makes it a couple of times a year during the cold weather. This is similar to the recipe she uses, but my wife doesn't add steak sauce and she uses red peppers instead of green.

Try doing a whole roaster chicken in it with a little white wine, garlic, rosemary and thyme.
It's excellent - and you can almost always find roasters on sale and it's a pretty easy meal...
Some mashed skin-on native Portsmouth potatoes (the Cape Cod potato chip guy swears they're the best for flavor potato he gets all year) , blanched green beans or asparagus wrapped with a bacon strip and lightly broiled, squeeze of lemon - believe me, it'll put a bulge in your baggy tweeds...  |

Ditto the chowda in the Crockpot - the one I make is a clear broth fish chowder though - my secret Drunken Blackfish Stew...
The big trick is cooking down the tog racks with bay leaves and peppercorns after you get done filleting to make the fish stock for the base...and you can freeze the stock along with your fillets for future reference.
Oh man, I gotta do up a batch here soon... |

One of the best things I have had from a crock pot is a sirloin roast. Crock pots are seriously the best invention ever. Put the stuff in, set the heat and leave it. Come back to it and its freakin unbelievable!!

Crock Pot Tragedy
Upon my wife’s completion of a chili creation last week, I refrigerated the stuff for later consumption after a little sampling. The next day I took the stoneware out of the fridge and placed it on the front burner of our stove.  My wife advised me not to do this and reasoned the stoneware might crack. I responded with “Show me where it says you can’t do this” and she just rolled her eyes….wouldn’t you know it as I finished spooning the last drop of chili, the bottom separated from the stoneware… 
A week without a crock pot had us suffering severe withdrawal symptoms. When we were out with the kids yesterday, my dear mother in law stopped by and left a little surprise on the front steps ….. Its cooking tonight’s chicken marsala as I type this… |

My wife made Louisiana Black Bean soup over the weekend - OMG, with the lousy cold and snowy weather it was perfect.
It's pretty spicy and she makes it from scratch - soaked the black breans overnight with the hambone from our holiday ham - celery, onion, gr. peppers, spices & heavy on the cayenne... ...and then finished off with broiled slices of kielbasa and fresh scallions...
It was one of a bunch of NOLA recipes we got from the NY Times years ago - and perfect crock pot stuff - that and some fresh corn-bread - again from scratch....baby, baby, baby...
The only downside is that my personal VOC emissions at work were completely off the chart - I think they're gonna have to apply for EPA Superfund money to clean up the chair I was sitting in... 
It was awesome...great cold-weather comfort food and quality personal entertainment for the easily amused -  |

Hey Mike do you have that porketta recipe? I want to give that a shot. Also, how did the marsala come out? |

I like my porchetta with mucho fennel seeds. My Dad also gave me fennel pollen$$$ for X-mas and it adds incredible flavor without being over the top. Mario Batali's "Simple Italian Food" also has a nice albeit labor intensive version.
Last week I made Beef Borgignone for the first time. Kind of like beef stew but no potatoes and intense flavor.Two thumbs up.

I get the porketta at whole foods and just drop it in the pot. I usually do a 2# roast in 1/2 cup white wine with spuds/carrots/onions.
Marsala was a bit watery due to overuse of chicken stock. The meat was perfect, but the shrooms came out a bit soggy. |

Shrooms should go in with a 1/2 hour cook time left.....they have a lot of moisture content and water down a stew as well as get soggy if they cook too long

Good advice. Same goes for sweet potatoes, they tend to soften much quicker than the idahos. |

if you buy Shi take mushrooms (the filet minon of mushrooms) and dry them UPSIDE down in the sun they absorb vitamin D like ten times what they originally had
then you can add them to absorb excess water and make a vitamin D power packed stew....
Vitamin D is required to absorb calcium ...and scientists are just now realizing how truly important vit. D actually is
and how deficient we Americans as a whole country are with it. |
