OK, so I take the Thanksgiving turkey, frozen these several weeks, and the left overs of the Christmas ham, with dried black-eyed peas, soaked over night, thyme, basil, garlic, four bay leaves, in the crock pot on New Year;s Eve. Then next morning, I pull out the bones, pour the rest into a big baking dish, put it in the oven at three hundred for a couple of hours, and voila! Black-eyed pea cassoulet.

I've printed up the recipe and will try it this week.

As for the highlighted words, I will know in a month if they're making me enough money to justify inconveniencing all of you.

Sadie: There’s a new lentil/spinach soup in there right now from The Indian Slow Cooker….I’ll let you know how it turns out. And then it’s Chicken Tikka Masala from the same book – but the chicken has to marinate overnight.

There were certainly many tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of Jewish refugees …

850,000, but who’s counting – certainly not UNRWA, designed for the unmitigated abuse of Israel. You do know the Palis, are the only “invented people” with permanent refugee status in the world. This was the price [read: extortion] the survivors of the Holocaust and those who were exiled from arab countries paid for, for membership in that crappy club.

p.s.
Earl, you are the King of slow-cooking. Rice pudding and now Gingerbread Pudding Cake. I broke down and bought a new one this year (oval shape) 5-qt. and $15.00 at Walmart. What a deal.

BW – do those highlighted words make you a little money? If so, I’m really glad – if not, can you get rid of them?

Gingerbread Pudding Cake
Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray

1 14.5-ounce package gingerbread mix (I used the one from Trader Joe’s – fabulous)

½ Cup milk (I had only rice milk and almond milk and mixed them to make 1/2 Cup – still good)

½ Cup raisins

2¼ Cups water

¾ cup packed brown sugar

¾ cup butter

Vanilla ice cream (optional – or not, of course!)

Directions

Lightly coat the inside of a 3½- or 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine gingerbread mix and milk until mix is moistened. Stir in raisins (batter will be thick). Spread gingerbread batter evenly in the bottom of the prepared cooker.

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, brown sugar, and butter. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Carefully pour sugar mixture over batter.

Cover and cook on high-heat setting (do not use low-heat setting) for 2 hours (center may appear moist but will set up as it stands).

Remove liner from cooker, if possible, or turn off cooker. Let cake stand, uncovered, for 45 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

To serve, spoon warm cake into dessert dishes. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream.

I'm salivating. I love slow cooker recipes. The time separation between prep and eating makes me feel as if I didn't actually cook the meal. It's just there, waiting for me.

So how come there are no Jews being helped by the “United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East”?

There were certainly many tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of Jewish refugees in Palestine back in 1948 and onward!! They came from all over the Near East, after all – and congregated in Palestine.

So, how come the UNRWA didn’t have a Jewish branch as well as an Arab branch?

Rhetorical question — never mind.

OT: I just made a Gingerbread Pudding Cake in the slow cooker that is out of this world…..!
