A Food Experiment

UPDATED 7:33pm (Recipe part)

I have been buying alot of small frames over the past few months---picking up the ones I think would good with my type of artwork in them. I've been finding them up at various small specialty type stores, antique shops, art supply stores and I even found a cool one at the nursery the other day. I'm likin' this "Small Look" for some of my new mini watercolors. I will be putting originals in a few as well as prints of some of my art. I think people like small stuff...you know? for gifts as well as for themselves. Well, I'll give it a go and see what happens.

This small simple white wood frame looks nice on some of my "Girlie Girl" cards...so I have about 4 of these...then some much smaller...oh! and a cool one that is kinda Arts and Crafts looking and it's two sided. I only found one frame that style though :(

k...what else is happening...Oh! I have an experimental crockpot recipe going today. I'm copying Joe again...his burrito filling recipe sounded good the other day.

Anyway mine is kinda like Joe's original Crock of Spaghetti...in that I made the meatballs (which consisted of: ground serloin, plain bread crumbs, 1 egg, dejon mustard, onion, & blk. pepper) then I slightly browned them, but instead of adding spag. sauce I mixed a can of Cream of Mushroom soup with a little water and about two cups of frozen wild mushrooms that I bought in a bag at Trader Joe's.

So, I put the slightly browned but uncooked meatballs in the crock first then just plopped the thick soupy mixture on top of them (not stirring) and put it in the frig. I decided to have Kip actually (start) the crockpot going at about noon--on low. So hopefully 6 hours will be just right. I think I'd better call him and remind him right now.

I'll let you know how it turns out...I'll probably serve it over noodles....sound ok to you guys?

K, back to work for me.

UPDATE:

Well I got home from work and the house smelled great---from the mysterious Crock Concoction I was making. Here's what it looked like when I checked it...

k...I see the slightly burnt meatballs there, as well as the nice puffed up wild mushrooms...but wah! where's my sauce!! Oh well...I just added a cup of milk to it and everything was fine.

((I loved this recipe)) Yep! I'm definately making this one again. :) I'm a sucker for goopy food. I think I got the goop loving trait from my Dad :)

Bye!
