I had to chuckle about the add a "can of this or a can of that". I feel exactly the same way.

I just ordered this cookbook tonight. A friend of mine told me that, for some reason, recipes for "slow cookers" are more likely to be tasty than are recipes for "crock pots." Apparently crock pots are cream-of-mushroomy, but slow cookers are organic and granola.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-52342964869105722482007-02-06T16:11:00.000-06:002007-02-06T16:11:00.000-06:00Your recipe looks good -- I don't like to use "fak...Your recipe looks good -- I don't like to use "fake" tasting ingredients in my crockpot recipes, either.

I can't see why it wouldn't work in a crock pot also. Really good on a cold winter day.doughadearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107772878761525846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-34651823751787340022007-02-05T17:40:00.000-06:002007-02-05T17:40:00.000-06:00KneadtoBake,

If you're not going to be baking your own bread, you'd do well to buy it from Rustica, which also makes fabulous croissants and Danish. A friend also brought me a loaf of a nice hearty oatmeal bread to help me through my bread withdrawal.<br /><br />Anonymous,<br />Welcome to the bar, and, more importantly, to bread baking. I also started my career with a clerkship. It's a great way to begin--it's gratifying, in a perverse sort of way, to see that a lot of lawyers really aren't all that good; it helps you realize that you could be probably do at least as well as they're doing. I hope you get to be a PD. I love my job, and all the attorneys in my office are, as in Lake Wobegon, above average.<br /><br />Doughadear,<br />Thanks for the recipe! It sounds delicious. I just bougoht some organic vegetarian split pea soup, which was better in theory than in practice. I think that it really needs that ham bone or bacon.<br /><br />Melinda,<br />I do have an electric griddle, which I was planning to use a lot. As you guessed, I have no idea where it is. <br /><br />Marissa,<br />My temporary kitchen is in the laundry room of our basement--the original 1915 basement. I told Jim he could only take closeups in the basement so people wouldn't see the scary-looking "kitchen." I chopped the vegetables on a table that's too low for comfortable kitchen work. I got out my old Microwave Gourmet cookbook, which I'm going to try, and I figure I'll do a crockpot recipe once a week or so. A friend (who hates to cook) said that I should get a panini maker because I could eat them every night. I'm a little dubious about that.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-1061231922059908872007-02-05T17:36:00.000-06:002007-02-05T17:36:00.000-06:00i've never used a crockpot! that looks yummy and s...i've never used a crockpot! that looks yummy and simple. i'm with you on not using ingredients that have additives and tons of salt. it's not being a food snob. it's eating good food!pinknesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753673917404683996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-2548843086812831952007-02-05T15:37:00.000-06:002007-02-05T15:37:00.000-06:00Like Melinda, I'm also curious: how have you set t...Like Melinda, I'm also curious: how have you set this up? ... where do you chop things? How do you wash dishes? <br /><br />What do people do when they don't have a kitchen for two months? One week without a kitchen, and I can see eating out lots , but not for 2 months. How did you strategize this?<br /><br /> You're not even using paperplates and plastic forks!

I, too, am a lawyer (well, only 6 months now) and am currently clerking - but I hope to become a public defender when this is finished. And I love to bake bread. I just purchased the Bread Bible after reading your blog.
