I'm self-destructing

Oh, shut up about me.

lol. Removed it, fearing it might be taken the wrong way. Glad you thought it was funny too.

Darn it.  I was going to post something about pigs in a blanket.

Now that's the kind of weenie I can get on with.

I'm in the process of learning to cook healthier.  It's not going as quickly as I would like.  Both Prince Albert and the Princess Royal need to eat healthier also.  Anyways I'm doing simpler cooking, hoping to learn to use a crockpot.  We're eating more salads.  My ideal rotation for eating/cooking is:

Sandwich, soup, salad or combination for lunch
Monday and Thursday Dinner - Beans
Tuesday and Friday Dinner - Fish
Wednesday and Saturday Dinner - Chicken
Sunday Dinner - Beef, Pork or cooks choice.

Crock pots are easy.  If you want to make red beans, for example, you can cook them slowly in your crock pot after an overnight soak.  Just don't add any acidic seasonings until near the end of the cooking time or the beans won't get as soft as they should.  Here's a recipe I found:

I like to make vegetable beef soup in my crock pot, so I add everything including the meat and cut-up vegetables in the morning and I have soup when I get home.

I just got this from an Enewsletter today.  Some nice ideas for the fall holidays.

You can use canned cranberry sauce for the following ideas but I make my own and it works just as well. I absolutely love cranberries so I've naturally done all the ideas listed.

Soak raisins and chopped dried apricots in rum or brandy for half an hour. Add to cranberry sauce. Heat and drizzle over ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Season sauce with Worcestershire, chopped garlic, and basil or sage. Great over pork or turkey burgers.

Top a cocktail bread square or large, thick cracker with a slice of sharp cheddar. Spoon on a little cranberry sauce mixed with sliced green onion.

Stir cranberry sauce with chutney to give an added layer of flavor. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve with pork.

Finely chop candied ginger and stir into sauce. Spoon atop a big wedge of warm brie.

Partially fill frozen mini-tart shells with crumbed blue cheese or a flavorful grated cheese. Bake as directed. Top with sauce. Sprinkle with chopped fresh mint or parsley, if desired.

Mix in generous pinches of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to the sauce. Fill the centers of cored pear or apple halves and bake for about a half-hour at 350 degrees F.

Simmer sauce with a little curry paste. Excellent as a dipping sauce for kebabs.

Stir coarsely chopped clementines and finely chopped apple or pear into sauce. Does wonders for rotisserie chicken or pork chops.

Add dashes of Tabasco and a few drizzles of balsamic vinegar. Heat frozen meatballs and coat with sauce.

Everything taste great from a crock pot too. Food that's cooked all day tastes like grandma's or something.

Damn, you're good! I'd like to try all of those. That last one though...tabasco and balsamic vinegar. It's hard to imagine how those go well together.

I think the balsamic vinegar adds a bit of the sweet and sour taste.  The tabasco would provide just a hint of heat.  The overall combo sounds faintly chinese with a kungfu kick.

When a group bullies one person, that person is often a shithead. So whats the problem, BITCH? :lol:

That logic clearly works for you.

Clearly logic doesn't work for you.
