With regard to veal, there is cruelty-free veal that is not raised in a confined pen. Secondly, we're talking about animals who are bred and raised to be eaten. They wouldn't be on the planet otherwise. Regarding "cow gas" aka methane, eat LESS meat, we won't raise as many cows, minimizing the pollutants.

Now on to the recipes. OMG - I have never seen such vile sounding dishes. A bunch of canned vegetables in the crockpot is "soup"??? Re-cook frozen broccoli to death over pork and potatoes?

I'm still looking for one for my son - a slow cooker that is. What's your favorite brand/model/feature and why?

[DianaB]

I have only used a Crock Pot but I know that there's a lot of different kinds. Mine has a high, low, and warm. I really like having the warm feature and use it quite a bit. I use my Crock Pot to keep water hot for hot cocoa when my family is here sledding in the winter.

Does it pour or do you scoop the mugs in for the hot water? How clever!

[DianaB]

I use a measuring cup to scoop the water out. It works great because the water's all hot and ready when they all come in. I have a homemade hot cocoa recipe that we use in the water. My grandkids all think that Grandma has the best hot cocoa!!!!
