There's one on sale for $11 right now lol.... but I already have the Stack Cooker.

Wow $11? Amazing. How small?

What is a stack cooker?

I like hard cider too but check the labels, many of them contain the evil sodium metabisulphite that I am highly allergic too

The crockpot is a 1 quart.

A Stack Cooker is a microwave cooking system. The bowls are round and they stack together to let you cook a main course, a side dish and a dessert all at once. I used the large bowl and the cover (lid) for the cider.

How cool. Thank you. I learn something every day in this thread.

Btw, I just received a pic of Sinagang, Filipino Tamarind Soup.

Some people know how to talk dirty in pics I'm telling ya.

So unfair *sigh* I love that soup.

Hey where is Ursy fairy?

What is it Monday afternoon in OZ?

As we are in soup season I realize that many of us are looking for quick ideas for warm hearty meals. So a good soup base is valuable.

That's so good to know! Bek's best friend is a vegetarian and I have been looking for a substitute for the chicken soup powder that I usually use.

O course you are nuts Catie! That's part of your charm!

It's Monday morning here, it's raining a bit, which is cooling the place down but making it all steamy as well.

I had a win yesterday! I am always looking for things Bek's best friend will eat. He's got a very limited palate and will basically only eat refined carbs and cheese - so, think macaroni cheese, welsh rarebit, pizzas with only cheese on them... sushi... that kind of thing. Kris jokes that the kid only eats things in a certain colour group - white to pale yellow. Lol.

I mashed a bit of pumpkin (fresh, we don't have tinned here), added some cream cheese, nutmeg, and some grated cheese and used it as a wonton filling. Success!

Though as I was saying to Sun before, it's probably more appropriate as a pasta filling, but anyway - he liked it, so it's a win!

I've been trying to think of ways to get more fresh vegetables into him, he doesn't eat much of anything, most of the time. Unless it's sweet things, he loves sweet things.

What a great day. I thought I would share a very cool little foodie delight. I went to a new church today to visit, it was a bit of a drive but well worth the travel. The congregation was wonderful and welcoming and the sermon was touching and inspiring... BUT, onto the food.... This congregation has a meet and greet after and they offer a "Sunday Soup" each week for a $5 donation, people were sitting down and chatting over soup... What a GREAT idea, it looks really tasty this week too... next time I get to go, I will have to take along some cash!!

Hey Jenn I was just telling one of my friends who is in seminary in MN and becoming a UU minister that you really liked the congregation. Yay. Win. She was very happy to hear that.

Coffee hour in our congregations can be pretty creative. At my home congregation in CA they are rolling out Tamales right about now.

OK I really do have to make this for mini diva. If you can feed this to a kid that likes white to pale yellow processed food only,it truly is a great idea. Our next challenge with mini diva is getting her to eat more protein. When she is with her friends it is as though cheese is the only food source on the planet next to bread, but, to her credit she has started eating salad. So salad and pizza with the teenagers. Aye. I may survive the teen years. May.

Does mini diva like any kind of risotto? Next thing I am going to try for Bek's friend is arancini balls... I have a butternut squash and apple risotto recipe that's really nice.

Good idea! I never made her risotto but will try that. She loves Romano cheese
