kellinatorSo... The Crock-Pot experiment.
The food tasted pretty good, but felt more like a bunch of disparate ingredients than any sort of dish-type union. The broth was too weak -- probably I didn't do a good enough job of making the "chicken stock." The curry came through more in color than taste. The garlic was barely present. The hominy was good. Next time I want to aim for something less bland.
Still, I ate two bowls. It might get better in the fridge. And it made the apartment smell good, which is probably the ultimate goal of Crock-Pot cooking.

Date: 2002-11-20 01:29 am (UTC)Works with beef and chicken, also, curry, is always good, but ina brock pot?...would kinda smother the flavor, crank it up....
then you have your garlic....did you use garlic powder?....how about a clove of garlic, smashed with a hammer, so that you can remove it later.....
and crock pots, you should leave it for a day, or over night...8 hours or so, i love me some black eyed peas...hehe, or beef stew...oh well, thought your food sounded good, and keep up the cookin
