    Baked Beans

    Yep, that was more or less my conclusion, I've had the crock pot on high pretty well the whole time when I put it on low it wasn't quite to a simmer. I also have pulled the lid over a crack to let more steam escape. Anyway #Juan, it smells like a darn good recipe- next time I'll make a slight...

    Baked Beans

    I followed the instructions to the letter and it's been in the crock pot now for almost 12 hours but it's like soup. Did I screw something up? :lol::lol: My instinct is telling me I should have used 6 cups of water instead of 8.

    Baked Beans

    Cabbage is actually a worse offender than bean, but they are both very healthy. :smile:

    Baked Beans

    Thanks again. As soon as I get that one final ingredient first thing in the morning in the pot it goes.

    Baked Beans

    Another thing that works really well in the crock pot is round roast. About 3-4 hours on low.

    Baked Beans

    Thanks #Juan- Would an electric crock pot work, set on low? Not wishing to steal #Juan's "thunder" I think a ham bone would work fine.

    Baked Beans

    A couple of questions about this recipe- 8 hours simmering? Aren't they supposed to go in the oven? Couldn't get pork shanks, what happens if you use spare ribs instead?

    Are we a more tolerant society today?

    This is a subject with a multitude of pros and cons. We are more tolerant of some minorities and we are less tolerant of such things as pedophilia and child abuse. But are we also not more tolerant of bad behaviour as indicated by more lenient sentences handed down to violent offenders? We...

    Bernie Madoff achieves hero status.

    Apparently he's "cock of the walk" in the big house! Looks like these prisons in the U.S. (see previous thread about Scott Peterson) are exactly the type we don't want in Canada. http://www.nationalpost.com/news/Madoff+hero+jailmates+report/3124271/story.html

    What do we think now?

    Poll:- life better now or in 1959? In light of the run on stabbings by teenaged girls in B.C. - Is this a sign that life is getting better?

    Our cooling world

    I'd wait until most of the melting before I'd be tear assing off to Greenland. If you are not careful there you could easily have a glacier fall on your head............... :lol::lol::lol:

    SPLIT thread: Why to do anything about global warming

    Vernon is getting the same for the past week, but we really need and I am not complaining in the least, except for the coolness- carrots and beets are hardly moving, but the beans and cukes are starting to come on.

    SPLIT thread: Why to do anything about global warming

    Good thinking- It seems these days most people have to attribute (blame) someone/thing for everything that happens. We should just accept it that things are what they are and set about improving it. We know fumes are detrimental, so the solution is obvious- reduce...

    SPLIT thread: Why to do anything about global warming

    Intelligent you are Hermite. I would suggest what is happening is POLAR WARMING. The use of the automobile has definitely reached the extreme. I say if you can walk, walk. It's better for health and saves a lot of money and everyone these days is short of money it seems. What it is, is a...

    SPLIT thread: Why to do anything about global warming

    Re: What to do about global warming You're talking "weather", VanIsle, Global warming is about climate (weather over several years) anyway, with this catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico which is likely to bring about the end of the world as we know it, global warming will be a moot issue...
