Happy birthday Consuela!
Mmm. Just had delicious Indian take out for dinner. So good. Sooo sleepy now.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Slow cooking makes everything good. I dunno about the for you part. My goose stew turned out okay. Could have done without the rice vinegar, I think. And maybe I could have done more apricots. But it was pretty good, and hey, it had apricots and carrots in it, so it must be good for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Burrell, have you ever eaten at the Indian place on Westwood just north of Santa Monica? We should go there some time. It's really good. Plus? Goat.

I am sleepy too, but I need to clean the kitchen, and the SO is sick, so it's not going to mysteriously happen for me. OTOH, I can sleep in tomorrow morning.
eta: Mmm, goat. I've been craving sheep lately, but the goose had to do.

The Crock-Pot was given to me second hand. I don't have any instructions with it. Though, I wonder if I could find some on the web somewhere...off to look.

I have eaten there ita, but not in years. It is good. We just got take out from Mayura, which is Southern Indian food. Dosa! And the best chicken tikka masala I've had in yonks.
Hey DJ, how does Indian food in India differ from it's US counterpart?

I mostly use my crockpot for steel-cut oats.
I wanted to celebrate my birthday by going out but I feel like crap. So I stopped at the grocery for sushi and a ginger beer and a bag of baked cheese curls. And I have watched last night's Fringe. Not exactly a wild night chez Consuela.
Now I want Indian food, even though I'm kind of full.

Quester, I have a doc of 7-8 favorite slow-cooker recipes I put together for Suzi (I think). Do you want me to send them along?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I use my crock pot for pot roast fairly often.
Ingredients: some beef roast (enough to fit in the cooker with room for other ingredients)
one white or yellow onion
half a bottle of red wine (cab sav, merlot, shiraz—something with a bit of body to it is best)
a bay leaf
a tablespoon of olive oil
a few dashes of salt and pepper
(optional) a few carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, a clove of garlic
Put oil in bottom of slow cooker and turn it on to low. Chop the onion and any other veggies you plan to add. Put them all in the cooker. Add the meat. Add the salt and pepper and bay leaf. Add the wine. Cover and cook on low for 6-9 hours. Remove bay leaf before eating.
