Food and Recipes while under Coronavirus quarantine #8

Since we are on the topic of slow cookers, several weeks ago I was cooking down cherry tomatoes from my garden to make pasta sauce and the bottom of the crock cracked. All the way through.

I have been using slow cookers ever since I was a teenager and can’t even think how many I have had over the years. But I’ve never had one crack.

This particular slow cooker was only a couple years old. I emailed customer service and they responded right away, asking me to send pictures of the inside and outside of the crock, a picture of the plug, a picture of the serial number, a picture of the manufacture date, and a picture of the case ID number written on a piece of paper and placed next to the slow cooker.

I sent all the pictures, and again they responded immediately. But this time they said some of my pictures were blurry and could I please retake them. They did not look blurry to me, but I did retake the pictures and send them again. Since then, I have not heard a word back from them, I emailed them again last week with the case ID number and still didn’t hear anything from them.

Here is a recipe for slow cooker cookies

Slow Cooker Cookies

This recipe for Slow Cooker Cookies is so rich and decadent. Each bite is so gooey with lots of chocolate. It's even better served over ice cream for a real treat.

At this time of year, Nino Salvaggio's features little pork roasts stuffed with apples and dried cherries or sage and onion bread stuffing. The cute little roasts are rolled and tied for easy roasting. They take only an hour at 350* to roast. We had an apple and cherry stuffed pork roast for dinner tonight. I seasoned the roast with salt and pepper then basted it with cherry barbeque sauce. Sauteed kale and oyster mushrooms for accompaniment. There's enough left over for tomorrow. When I make the sage and onion stuffed pork roast, I usually make a light gravy with the drippings, butter, flour, and a little chicken stock. Good with mashed potatoes or noodles.

I'm a little under the weather today and wonder if it might be a mild reaction to the flu shot last Friday. I'm sipping a hot toddy with Cognac, raw honey, and lemon juice. Need a good night's rest so this doesn't turn into a full out cold.

I got a flu shot last week and had a reaction for the first time ever. About a day of not feeling well with a shaky tummy.
