    Best Songs in a Movie

    in Music / TV / Films

    This song doesn't compare with some of the classics, but oh lord, I sure do love it. It is from the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" starring George Clooney.

     

    Down to the River to Pray - by Alison Krauss

     

    That is really beautiful Muggles. The true test of a very good singer - they still sound great and stay in tune with no musical backing.

    Slow Cooking

    in Food, Cooking & Recipes

    We especially like ours at this time of year. We always have a turkey and a ham for Thanksgiving. We buy a pre-cooked ham from Honeybaked Ham but need to warm it before serving. We have the turkey in the oven and there isn't room for the ham, so we put the ham in the slow cooker and it keeps it nice and warm and moist without drying it out. we can keep it in the slow cooker for a long duration.

     

    I never thought of using it to reheat/ keep meat warm, especially when you run out of room in the oven, that's an excellent idea Muggles.

     

    Corned beef is really nice cooked in a slow-cooker, you just add the usual amount of water.

     

    I'll probably sound like a red-neck hillbilly, but since I live in the country we have a lot of blowflies around during summer. If you start cooking meat, they tell all their mates and they come visiting in droves. So now when I have the slow-cooker going, I plug it in outside on the veranda, and it keeps them all outside.
