Today I tossed some chopped potatoes, carrots, and celery in to the crock pot. Added a bit of chicken broth and set a cornish game hen on top.

5 hours on the high setting later, we had yummy fall-off-the-bone hen, nicely flavored potatoes, and perfectly cooked carrots.

Yummers.

I think I'm going to have to just face the fear, suck it up, and get a crock pot. And only one pot to wash. That's an added bonus.

no plates or silverware for you?

i am starving (cuz i should be asleep) i do wish i had some non-meat *something* stewing in the crock. and also, i wish that the crock was somewhere in the house not in the kitchen, with this magical stew since the dogs are in the kitchen so i won't run the risk of waking them by going in there to search for foods! despair! hunger! crock!

i just had a banana that i could locate without too much noise, it was in a plastic bag so i quietly felt for it (in the dark) and then quickly left the dining room to peel the thing 2 rooms away.

now i'm obsessing over some strange corn chowder recipe that i glanced at in the vegetarian magazine in the check out line yesterday, but didn't want to spend 7 dollars to buy... oh plus, the burpee catalogue came and you know i want to plant an entire organic farm...

what? wrong thread?

Well actually if you get one that has an inner lining and an outer element you may end up washing them both. Um yea I tend to spill,

I have a recipe to share but I have to go find it. Not necessarily for a crock pot, but a Dutch oven.

Cooked this last night, friggen yum!

BEEF AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Serves 6. Published September 1, 2007.

Choose whole sirloin tip steaks over ones that have been cut into small pieces for stir-fries. If sirloin tip steaks are unavailable, substitute blade or flank steak, removing any hard gristle or excess fat. Button mushrooms can be used in place of the cremini mushrooms, with some trade-off in flavor. Our preferred brand of beef broth is Pacific. If you like, add 1 cup of frozen peas, frozen corn, or frozen cut green beans during the last 5 minutes of cooking. For a heartier soup, add 10 ounces of red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups), during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

INGREDIENTS
1 pound sirloin tip steaks , trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (see note above)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 pound cremini mushrooms , stems trimmed, caps wiped clean and quartered
1 large onion , chopped medium (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 medium garlic clove , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)
1/2 cup red wine
4 cups beef broth (see note above)
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 medium carrots , peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 medium ribs celery , cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup)
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (powdered)
1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine beef and soy sauce in medium bowl; set aside for 15 minutes.

2. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add mushrooms and onion; cook, stirring frequently, until onion pieces are brown and dark bits form on pan bottom, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl.

3. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and meat starts to brown, 6 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add red wine, scraping bottom of pot with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits, and cook until syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes.

4. Add beef broth, chicken broth, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and browned mushrooms and onion; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until vegetables and meat are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. While soup is simmering, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand.

5. When soup is finished, turn off heat. Remove bay leaf. Add gelatin mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Stir in parsley; adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, and serve.

The trick is to prep all the ingredients ahead of time.
