I looked in the pantry and DD had a bunch of packs of Lipton onion soup mix so that got added and I poured on a cup of coffee.  I put it on high for a couple of hours and then to low...by 5 pm it was all done.

I strained the liquid into the fat separator measuring cup and then used the cooking juices to make some awesome gravy.

Then everyone was gone and its just sitting and waiting for anyone to decide to eat.  Dane gets a pass because he's at golf.  I'm betting he'll have a nice supper when he gets home.  The GS got picked up by his dad early so he didn't get supper here.  Then DD decided she wasn't hungry.  Oh we'll, I ate supper and its still gonna be good if I have to pack it up and reheat it for lunch tomorrow.

Crispy sounds great! Wish I could be a fox.

bethk wrote:Jimmy, the Reynold's liner is that bag that you use to keep the crock easy to clean.  It's made out of the same plastic as the cooking bags used for turkeys....doesn't melt.

I can just imagine how excited Brian was to get homemade cb hash. There's no greater way to show your love, to my way of thinking, than to make a special dish just because you know they really like it. Isn't that the same as when the birthday person gets to have their choice of the meal on their day? Who doesn't remember how good it felt to know the meal was prepared just because it was YOUR favorite?

I have been watching The Big Valley too.Talk about some hotties ..

that Lee Majors is still one too.He is old as dirt & has a hearing aid company lol lol but gosh he has aged WELL>>>>

He was indeed tickled pink, Beth.  He ate it for breakfast the next day and then polished off two servings for his lunch the following day.  He just retired (his last day was 6.14.13) and he's in heaven lately anyway but he went gaga over the hash.  And yep, those crunchy edges are his favorite!
