Sooooooooooo what are your thoughts on a polygamous relationship with Megatron and I? Hahaha well, I know how it would end: 'nater would be our live-in fourth and we'd all weigh 300+ pounds and die of congestive heart failure in our 40s. |

That sounds like a sitcom in the making.

I'm already almost sister-wife status. Although I really don't bring much to the table....

I have been making frugal foods. Tonight we are having a "cassoulet" which is in quotes because it really isn't a cassoulet. I took a ham hock, an onion, some carrot and celery, some garlic, a can of diced tomatoes, a bay leaf, and some herbs de provence and topped it with some chicken quarters in the crock pot. When I get home I am going to chop up the meat and add it back in and cook it a little longer. I think I might put some panko on top since I have it. I hope it is good because it cost less than three dollars to make.

I love cassoulet. I made one a few weeks ago and nater got to have some. Cassoulets aren't exactly the most healthy thing to eat, but then again most delicious things arent. And heck yes for it being cheap AND easy to make. Cook a bunch of meat in fat, throw in some vegetables, cook at a low temperature, and then eat.

Well, it turned out really well, especially for an experiment.
I heated a little oil and browned the seasoned leg quarters (skin on) and removed to a plate. Softened a chopped onion, two sliced carrots, and two sliced stalks of celery in the leftover fat/oil. Threw in a few cloves of minced garlic at the end, added a can of diced tomatoes, drained and rinsed can of kidney beans and garbanzo beans, a bay leaf, a heaping teaspoon of herbs de provence, and some salt and pepper. Mixed that around and dumped it in the crock on top of a smoked ham hock. Put the leg quarters on top so the juices would go down to the beans/vegetables. Cooked 6 hours on low and then let sit all day in the fridge. When I got home I removed the chicken from the bones and a bit of ham from the hock and added them back and put everything in a casserole dish. Cooked it in the oven on 250 for about an hour and then turned it up to 350 and put on some lightly buttered panko. Let that go for about half an hour, pushed it down and added some more. Then about 20-30 minutes later we were ready to eat and I hit it with the broiler for a minute to get a nice brown top.
It was super tasty. When I was transferring it to a baking dish I saw a lot of gelatin had developed from the bones and that made it a really nice texture.
