Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Boy you would need a BIG crockpot to cook these recipes I once caught a very big lobster in Cape Cod and had to rent a pot to cook it in. These recipes reminded me of that Imagine cooking 25 lbs rice as only one ingredient Ide have to rent space in a commercial kitchen to do it :=) Michael in Brooklyn (long time lurker) SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
