Hubby cooked up bison hot dogs on the grill. They were surprisingly good.

Were they cased? Bison dogs sounds like a pretty decent idea...

Um....no idea. I normally dislike hot dogs and know little to nothing about making them, so I'm not entirely sure. We bought them at Whole Foods.

Took the shrimp I baked, and used them on an Asian sort of inspired salad with the leftover boy choy, lettuce, spinach, red cabbage, carrots, and fried noddles.

I made a pretty simple spaghetti -- peeled and crushed a bucketload of tomatoes, added garlic, onions and other spices, and let that come together in the slow cooker for several hours. The meatballs were a blend of beef, pork and lamb that I ground together -- seared them on the stove, then let them finish in the crock pot with the sauce. Topped with some shredded Romano cheese, and served with some garlic toast and a Romaine salad (balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing).

^I've never been able to figure out the slow cooker. Everything is always too dry, too soggy, and just plain overcooked.

Theodore Jay Miller · August 12 2011, 08:03 PM

Salad, tuna steak with broccoli and baked potato, and jello.

Depends on what you put in there. For roasts, or beef cuts like round, I'd never use anything else -- there's so much connective tissue that needs to be broken down that low and slow is the only way to cook it. I also love mine for chili, red sauces, dips and soups.

It's easy to overcook stuff in a slow cooker -- low and slow still has a time limit. It's just a matter of remembering that the rate of evaporation of moisture within meat is a constant based on temperature, so you time things accordingly.
