Well, sort of. I’m outa here for a couple of days, heading to Quebec. Play nice while I’m gone. I can still see you all on the camera hidden in the teddy bear’s left eye.
You have reached the voicemail of Lorraine…

I’ll start……CBNTF, I made your chicken in red sauce in my crock pot on Friday. It was stormy, I wasn’t going out, so I went through my freezer and found chicken thighs. I remembered your recipe so I did what I could and lets just say there is a girl in my house who won’t eat any chicken that isn’t boneless, skinless, breast meat. She tucked into those thighs and loved them. (I never did tell her what it was)
Sandy, I have always been a thigh man. Actually that’s a lie, I’m more of a… er… um… “sit upon” man. But nothing beats that chicken in red sauce.
And besides there’s no such thing as “chicken ass.” That’s where the eggs come from and no one wants anything to do with that.
The chicken’s arse is called the Pope’s nose for reasons lost in antiquity ….
I’ll bet there used to be a Pope who, when he sneezed, ejected eggs from his nose. Someone saw it and said “Hey look, that guy has a chicken’s patootie on his face.” Then they realized it was the Pope and all, and… well… the rest is history.
These things aren’t as complicated as they seem.
Or there was a really ugly Pope …. Was he named for the plucked or unplucked chicken arse one wonders .
..at some point in history somebody said, “I’m gonna eat the next thing that drops out of that chicken’s arse.”
And thus, scrambled eggs are born.

In the Anglican church it is called the Parson’s Nose. None of that papistry for us!
A big crock pot hit in my house is to mix 1 can cream of mushroom/celery/whatever-cream-soup-is-on-hand, about half a cup of cooking sherry, garlic, dry mustard, worchestershire sauce and onions with any sort of beef roast. Leave on low for the day and you get a nice sauce at the end to put on mashed taties. With a nicer cut of beef, it actually tastes like a rather elegant meal so it is good for when you are having company for dinner but there is no big fuss. CBNTF, I think I missed your recipe, any chance you could share it again? It would be much appreciated. Have fun in Quebec Lorraine.
Beth, it’s pretty straight forward. You squish a bunch of ketchup into the crockpot. Then you put in a teaspoon of garlic puree, a tiny bit of worceschestire sauce (or however you spell it), a teaspoon of lemon juice, a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar, and a dozen or so chicken thighs. This is a recipe that should only be attempted by highly trained professionals, using exact measurements. Shovels may be substituted for tablespoons when family is coming. Cook on low for 5 hours, high for 3 hours, or “nuke” for 20 minutes. No, that’s a lie. Don’t attempt “nuke” in a crock pot. It’s like attempting “Mach 1″ in a Volkswagen Beetle. It will only end in tears.
And red stuff on the ceiling.
(sorry about the picture if there is one. I’m in Tel Aviv and I have no idea what’s going on with the pictures. I’m reasonably confident that it has something to do with Isreali security.)
Thanks for the information! We will have a go at it in a couple of days.
Hope all is going well in Quebec, Lorraine, driving those Porsche’s in the snow. Sounds as if you’ll have a very busy 2 weeks with the Auto Show etc. Maybe I’ll hand deliver some Cd’s to you at the Auto Show if I can ever find you! Bob
..and while the cats away…
Ok, not so much, but some self promotion here.
While The Divine Miss L is off gallivanting in P.Q. in $90k cars, M.D.B. and myself are off to the Daytona 500, towing our 13ft Boler painted like a Bumblebee (I’m not kidding) and have made the short list for a Travel Channel show about the ordeal.
The point is…we are towing our 13ft Boler painted like a Bumblebee (I’m not kidding) to the Daytona 500, whether or not camera’s are aboard.
Anyone can ‘camp’ in a $100k R.V., but we cook stuffed leg of lamb on a campfire.
See ya at the checkers!

Isn’t there a competition for best trailer on the infield ? I’m pretty sure the Red neck rocket scientists built one for an episode . I do believe they won as well .
Oh, I hope so!
M.D.B. Has compiled a 2″ binder of Crock Pot Recipes, that she passes on to her friends, and should chime in here…
M.D.B.?
How about a “Blame it on Lorraine” crockpot cookbook?
God help us all!
Maybe a Crockpot leaflet.
No amounts, just a list of stuff to throw in, and see what comes out a few hours later!
Come on Roz, you could supervise her. I am sure no one would be harmed.
Can crock pots explode ?
Maybe not explode, but if it’s older with bad wiring it can catch on fire… that’s what happened to my Mom’s!
Oh, CROCKPOT. I thought we were talking crackpot.
Awww – you took my joke.
(that’ll teach me to get sick…)
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Valentine’s Day – pah!
Fever, aches, chills, burning eyes, wooziness, knot in the pit of my stomach.
Thought it was love,
but it turned out to be
just another nasty virus…
