Mom used to collect those things every year, must have 20 years' worth. The puddings were always pretty good.

What's the recipe Marilyn? Sounds good and I'm all for the crockpot

[Marilyn. 340]

ok here is the recipe.. had to hunt it down because I knew I had it here somewhere... didn't feel like typing it all out again..

Crock-Pot Sweet and Sour Pork

* 1 1/2 to 2 pounds pork cubes

* 1 tablespoon cooking oil

* 1 cans (15 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained but save juice...

* 1 small sweet green bell pepper, chopped

* 1/2 cup water

* 1/3 cup brown sugar

* 2 tablespoons ketchup

* 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca *

* 3 teaspoons soy sauce

* 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

PREPARATION:

In skillet, brown pork cubes on both sides in hot oil. Drain off fat and transfer pork to a 3 1/2 to 5-quart crock-pot. In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, a few of the pineapple chunks, green pepper, water, brown sugar, ketchup, tapioca, soy sauce and dry mustard.

Pour over pork cubes. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours (or HIGH 4 to 5 hours). Towards the end of the cooking time add as much or as little of the leftover pineapple chunks as you want. Serve with hot cooked rice.

Serves 4-6.

* if you don't have tapioca, about an hour or so before it is done take a tablespoon or two of cornstarch and mix it with a bit of cold water and then stir into crock-pot...

My brother has got it really bad. It's going around and Mom had to go to a doctor's appointment a few weeks ago so instant exposure to lots of sick folks. I'm lucky (relatively speaking) I only got it in the gut. Cassie wherever you are get well soon!

Thanks for the recipe, Marilyn. It sounds a lot like one I used to make, but it was called Pork Polynesian. Haven't had it in years, though.

Ugh. I was worried I'd get the flu this year because I didn't get my annual flu shot. So far so good, though. *knocks on wood* I used to catch everything going where I used to work. I worked in an enclosed office and a lot of people would show up for work, even though they were sick as dogs. It used to drive me bonkers, and I'd get really ticked. Especially for one of my co-worker friends whose husband was going through cancer treatment, her daughter was pregnant, and her mother was very sick in a nursing home. She could not afford to get sick because of her husband's weakened immune system, and the nursing home would not let any visitors into the home if they showed the slightest sign of being sick. Poor thing.

thanks guys. I felt ok last night, but I ended up sleeping in this morning until almost 11 am, which never happens! I feel better today, just stuffy, so methinks it isn't the flu. I was worried because people at work have been getting super sick left right and centre and I really didn't want to be sick for a week plus!

Tonight's supper is turkey sausages -- we have never tried them before.

we had lobster chowder tonite, and tomorrow me thinks it will be hamburgers and french fries.. of course hubby will be out on the grill, grilling hamburgers.. mmmmm

on the turkey sausages. They don't have the "snap" you get when you bite into a Johnsonville italian sausage, but they were very tasty indeed. We are looking for healthier alternatives and we think we've found one.

Lobster chowder sounds yummy. Did you make it yourself?

Hmmm. I've never had turkey sausages. Think I might give them a try now.

We had our burgers and fries last night, and I've got a couple of leftovers. I think I might turn them into salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, peas, and carrots for tonight.

We had pork chops, rice, mayonnaise popovers, gravy, and a saucer of olive oil, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese for dipping the bread in. Comfort food...mmmmmmm!

Tonight...not sure. Something that will entice the Princess to eat since she's sick today (sore throat, cough, headache, fever).
