  Here's a slow cooker recipe I came up with one day. It worked and now my family love it. As I'm in Australia I'm not sure exactly what you call chicken stock over there - from reading the other recipes on this post I think it might be broth.
  
  CHICKEN IN CREAMY WINE SAUCE
  
  3 large carrots peeled and chopped into small chunks
  1 or 2 onions " " "
  3 or 4 potatoes " " "
  1 cup or so of frozen peas
  1 375ml (I think that's about 12 fl oz in the USA) chicken stock (maybe that's what you call broth)
  6 or 8 chicken boneless chicken thighs
  white wine
  herbs of choice
  1/2 - 2/3 cup light cream
  cornflour
  salt and pepper
  
  Put carrots, onions, potatoes, peas and chicken into slow cooker. (No need to chop chicken as it breaks up during cooking). Pour in stock (broth), splash in some wine (qty up to you) then sprinkle with herbs of choice. I usually use mixed herbs. Cook 7 - 8 hours. Sometimes if I'm home while its cooking I might mix it up a couple of times and break up the chicken, but you don't have to - you can do this at the end.
  
  When cooked, mix up cream with some cornflour (3 or 4 teaspoons or more depending on how thick you want it) and add to slow cooker. Mix in well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow to heat back up again after adding cream.
  
  Serve with buttered crusty bread or rolls. We usually serve it in a bowl with a spoon.

  OK I'm pretty sure this is the one you are talking about. Here is the scan of the relevant pages.

  

  

  

  Now I remember that disgusting comment at the end of para 18 "When we overlook the faults of the elders and joyfully follow their direction, we prove our love for Christ."

  Hope this the one you were looking for exjwbenny.....

  All the best with trying to get your dad out.

  I remember the article you are talking about but cannot find the thread that it was mentioned on. I will find the actual magazine and scan the pages for you.

  Beginning on JWN

  by Thunderinus in

  i left the jws three years ago after having done extensive research through the internet where fortunately one can find an enormous amount of information regarding every aspect of the jws it's simply amazing how many websites there are exposing their real nature.

  though in the end i don't blame so much the rank and file members who are themselves naive and ignorant victims, rather i blame those governing this organisation who are constantly and ruthlessly deceiving and holding captive in a spiritual sense their hapless followers.. i had several issues with them:.

  the blood ban goes too much against common sense why would it be wrong to accept blood from someone that willing gives it and without any coercion or harm to himself precisely out of good kindness with the intention to save lives as indeed millions of lives were saved in this way.

  Welcome Thunderinus and thank you for a fabulous first post. I personally am a victim of the WTS extreme shunning policy which destroys families.

  Looking forward to reading more of your posts.

  shiatsu58 said

  i also said that according to the JWs you should be happy and positive, so I told her she needs to ask for a refund because it aint working

  That's priceless shiatsu58. I love it. Will have to remember it when the opportunity comes up with a JW.

  LucyA - I learnt the hard way with my JW family that once you leave JWs whatever you say or do is wrong and whatever they say or do is right. Can't win with them.

  All the best

  Goodmorning CoCo (well I imagine it's really evening where you are).

  I love crossword puzzles and I used to do them regularly but alas I have become an 'inactive puzzler' in the last few years.

  The word in your original post that I was a bit unsure of was ana as I never hear it used. But it seemed to be the only one that would fit and as it turns out was correct. I did get the other two right.

  At one stage I enjoyed the cryptic crossword in our city newspaper but haven't tried that type for many years.

  Thank you CoCo for all your interesting topics on here.

  All the best
