Maybe the magazine was from a DIFFERENT country and that's why it didn't work. They have different stuff in other places. Makes sense to me.

Someone posted a recipe from that Country magazine that didn't work.

That makes me suspicious.

Thanks, Ho! Sounds delish! I bet it would go great with some potato salad and some double grape 'tinis. I need to order some more powdered wine!!

Do I have to marinate the venison before putting into the crock pot? We've tried marinating the venison for other recipes, but I've not tried the crock pot yet. Any help & any good venison recipes would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

on how to convert your recipes to crockpot recipes says you need to increase the cooking time by 20 minutes every time you take the lid off - besides eating undercooked food, which we all should know by now we shouldn't do...

I did cheat and taste test the broth because I was unsure about how this one would turn out. Anyway, I had browned the pork before hand so it couldn't have been too raw.

I am still here and feeling fine, maybe exposure to undercooked japanese foods has strengthened my system, I don't know!

Hey Book,

You said that the broth is tasting nice. Ya know your not supposed to lift the lid on those crockpots until it's done. Also you could die from raw meat.

Hey, are you there?

Thanks for the props, MarshMan! At the moment I have an improvised pork stew in my slow cooker. It smells good, the broth is tasting good, it may be one I keep around. I wanted to use up some tidbits I had (mostly veggies) and I had some pork cubes meant for kabobs. The weather is cold here in Japan so the idea of a stew replaced my ideas of pork kabobs with rice.

I coated the pork cubes with seasoned flour and browned them in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Chopped up one onion and minced two cloves of garlic. I thought I had canned tomatoes on hand but didn't so I added one full jar of spaghetti sauce, filled it with water and added the water. Added a couple of beef boullion cubes. I had a handful of chopped cabbage, some mushrooms and a carrot that needed to be used soon so I chopped them all up and added them. I put it some Cavender's Greek Seasoning and a touch more garlic salt and italian seasoning as the broth seemed a bit bland. I rememberd I had some white beans that I could use up so I threw those in as well.

Other than the onions and garlic I think any other vegetables could be added or taken away without any damage. I mean, I could see adding potatoes or not using cabbage since I don't normally have cabbage around. With spaghetti sauce it is decidedly italian but I could see playing around with some salsa or mexican-style canned tomatoes and some frozen corn and black beans instead of white beans and having a mexican pork stew.

So, tonight I'll serve this with garlic bread and a side salad, if I try it again with a Mexican taste I would serve it with cornbread muffins.

I made a brisket in my crockpot a while ago and now cannot find the recipe again. It was made with
wine and was the most delicious I've ever had
Does anyone know what I'm referring to.

If not I'll try the Holiday Brisket in BBQ Sauce. I'm
having guests next week and would like to have
things work out well. i
