Jambalaya...crockpot style
As Stella requested…….
JAMBALAYA
(Betty Crocker)
- 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
- 2 medium stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 28 oz canned diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups (1 link) fully cooked smoked sausage
- 1 TB parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper sauce
- 3/4 pound uncooked thawed peeled deveined shrimp (optional)
- 4 cups hot cooked rice, for serving
1. Mix all ingredients except shrimp adn rice in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on low setting 7 to 8 hours (or high for 3-4 hours) or until vegetables are tender.
3. Stir in shrimp. Cover and cook on low heat for about an hour, or until shrimp are pink and firm. (I’ve used cooked shrimp, and just left it in long enough to flavor it. Too long and it will be tough.)
4. Serve Jambalaya with rice.
Yucky Bananas in the pantry………
HOMEMADE BANANA PUDDING
(Grandma Reva)
- 1 egg
- 2/3 sugar
- 1/4 cornstarch or 1/3 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 bananas
- 1/2 vanilla wafers
- 1/3 stick butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
Mix sugar & cornstarch. Stir in egg. Add milk & salt. Bring to boil in a heavy pot on medium heat. Warm until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla until dissolved. Add bananas. If they are brown, wait until pudding is cool to adding doing so. Stir in cookies (some broken, mostly crushed, same some for the top). Serve warm (my favorite) or cold.
Variation:
I only had half the bananas I needed, so I split the batch. Made half with bananas, and used warm peaches and oatmeal cookies for the other half. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon!
Dear LOST,
I neglected to watch you over the past 5 years. I’ve watched other shows religiously since your first season (Dexter, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, BSG) but I never gave you the time of day until 4 weeks ago, Since then, starting with Season 1, the wife and I have sat down to watch you every night, sometimes watching early into the a.m. and while it’s been fun, it hasn’t been easy, you’re hard to follow and don’t make alot of sense most of the time, but still we like you and hope that in this final season you provide us some closure to all this madness.
Sincerely, El Clinto
p.s. With the ending of your show, please promise you won’t make any “after the show” tv runs or movies like BSG did. That didn’t work out well and we really won’t need them if you tie things up in Se. 6. K? Thx.
Maylee made snack for her and Conner today. Ants on a log :)
