Crackpot! (wasRe: Sexuality! and Poor Writing! - JKR's Mistake, JKR as evil

>   We also do a good pot roast, where you sear the meat quickly to 
lock in the juice, and then basically cover it in the crockpot with 
red wine, beef stock, and veggies of your choice and let it go on low 
for 6 hours. The beef will literally melt in your mouth.

Hey, Katie..wanted you to know that we did this crock pot recipe! 
EXCELLENT! The kids loved it..we made it with carrots, potatoes and 
mushrooms..the mushrooms were SPECTACULAR....we added a ton of 
garlic....thanks for the recipe...

We have this hilarious story...I like wine, but my partner mostly 
does not do alcohol...so I like cabernet sauvignon....and we were in 
one of those huge party stores, and in a piercing loud voice she 
said "Darling! The cabarets are over here!" (meaning the cabernets)...
So I started dancing in the aisle singing "come to the caberet, old 
chum, come to the caberet..." (I actually didn't start dancing in the 
aisle)..

Anyway, we thought we'd rename this recipe..Caberet Roast..what do 
you think?

Vis a vis cooking...

Back when I was single...I love food and always loved to cook, but 
every once in a while I would make coquille st. jacques, or beef 
wellington, or vegetarian lasagna (moosewood cook book), or three 
onion and cheese casserole, etc.... fun stuff that takes lots of 
time, but otherwise would go out to eat or get take out, etc. because 
I was working 70 hours a week...

But then came the children, and we work hard not just to do meals, 
but nutritious and tasty meals that are not too expensive (June 
Cleaver here..am I dating myself again?)...so doing stuff that is not 
TOO time intensive...

It's absolutely wonderful to live in a place with almost constant 
fresh, local produce...even in the winter, we get carrots, and 
onions....there is purple and green cauliflower, and vegetables that 
I never even heard of..

We're "behind the Redwood Curtain" so it's difficult to export the 
veggies..(although we export 90% of the oysters consumed in 
California)...during oyster season, you can get fresh oysters for 
fifty cents a piece....from the bay which is about 15 minutes from 
here....it's incredible.....

Well, to all the other foodies out there...hi!
