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 -  |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

If there are any goose hunters in here this is a great recipe to try. I'm a picky eater... love to shoot the things but the eating has always been tough and this brings me back for 2nd's.
Breast out a goose and season to suit your tastes. Make a pot of coffee...drink one cup as you like it. (Cream w/1 sugar works great) Throw the breasts in the crockpot with the rest of your brewed coffee. Cook until it falls apart like a good pot roast.  You WILL think it's a great pot roast! I heard it also works for sea ducks....but I doubt it! |

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. |
