Anything you cook in the winter .. just put the crock pot
outside to cook!

Well, this isn't particularly summery, but since it's hot
here and I made dinner in the crock pot yesterday, maybe
it'll suffice.

I got a package of beef short ribs and put them in the crock
pot. Added red wine, dark soy sauce, molasses, and Chinese
five-spice powder. I didn't measure, but I'd estimate that I
used a cup-and-a-half of the wine (which was an Australian
Shiraz), somewhere between a quarter-cup and a half-cup of
soy sauce, a couple tablespoons of molasses and somewhere
between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of five-spice. (I'd been
under the impression that this was the classic red-cooked
recipe, but it isn't. I guess I invented this.)

Cooked on low for fourteen hours.

Served it with rice and had steamed sugar snap peas and
baby corn on the side. It was good; I had the leftovers for
lunch today.

Reading over, I realized that this sounds a lot more planned
and organized than it actually was. Here's the sequence in
more realistic form: I get out of bed 90 minutes before I
have to be at work. When I got up, I put that stuff in the
crockpot and stirred it briefly. I thought it sounded like a
good combination (and I mistakenly thought I was following a
well-known recipe). I started the crockpot, finished getting
ready for work, and sallied forth in service to my company
and my country. My work shift is twelve hours long, and it
takes just over half an hour to get home. To stretch it out
further, I stopped at the grocery store on the way home to
buy SOMETHING to go along with the meat I was cooking. Sugar
snap peas were the first thing I saw, so I grabbed a couple
of handfuls. I got home, turned on the air conditioner, and
took my steamer and crockpot out onto the patio. Put some
rice into the steamer (it's one of those two-level electric
jobbies; I love it), made some tea using the microwave oven,
then cleaned the peas and put them on the second level of
the steamer. Greeted my girlfriend as she arrived, and we
spoke for about five minutes. I broke away from our
conversation briefly to add a can of baby corn to the
steaming peas. Put the meat into a serving bowl just in time
for the rice and the peas to get finished. Dished up the
peas and corn, then dished up the rice, by which time the
tea had cooled to near-room temperature, which was good,
because I was serving it iced. By the way, the tea was quite
a nice complement to the meal; it was a Republic of Tea
Cinnamon Plum "Tea of Conviviality".

Hot italian sausage subs is a good summer meal, and is
simple to make in a crock pot.
