You can toss all the sauces for spaghetti on top of spaghetti squash, too. Love it! nm

On 2nd thought, if you're NOT a good Italian style cook, make something you ARE good at. Leave th

Hahahah! Are they good Italian folk? I LOVE me some garlic!!
I put garlic in practically everything, short of desserts!
There are some good crockpot recipes out there, especially
if it's hot and you don't want to use the oven. I do a "golfer's special". Line a cake pan with tin foil, put the roast in, and add cut up carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. Sprinkle it with onion soup mix or beef gravy mix, close the foil, then bake until done. It can also be done in the crockpot.
You can cube your roast to make shish kebabs slathered in BBQ or some other bold tasting sauce. Skewer new potatoes, onions, mushrooms, squash, red peppers, and whatever other veggies you like.
You can cut up the roast either before or after cooking, stick it in the crockpot with some beef broth, let it cook all day, then serve as French dip sandwiches on steak rolls with au jus. Fries, salad, or chips on the side.
Sometimes I just sit here and Google for recipes when I'm bored and can't think of what to cook for dinner. Type "rump roast recipe" on Google without quotes to see what else comes up. You can narrow your search by adding "BBQ" or "crockpot".
Spaghetti!

Chicken spaghetti.

Italian.

Italian, like most nights.
Spaghetti with red sauce. Salad. I'm tired.
Where are all these Italian dictators? sm
All I get are ESLs. I'm jeolous. Seriously. 
Starbucks Italian Roast for me, although
I am trying to wean myself off that and onto Pierce Brothers Free Trade Coffee. The Red Eye is a hearty blend, so I may be able to do it--if I take it slowly. I'm hooked...
Filipino and actually heavy Italian. Uggghhh.

Bowtie pasta - Zesty Italian dressing,
small bits of sharp cheese, raw broccoli cut up, and tomotoes cut up in tiny squares! So easy and delicious.
Sometimes, I throw a little bit of pepperoni in there for spice.
What are you doing with a large group of Italians??? I'm Italian and may want an invite:-)) (nm)

crockpot ribs sm
sprinkle ribs with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Brown under broiler. Put in crockpot and maybe about 3/4 to a full bottle of bar-b-que sauce. I usually use about 3/4 bottle for about 6-8 country style ribs that are on the bigger side. Dice onion up and put in crockpot. Cook on low about 8-10 hours, depending on what type and how meaty the ribs are. I usually try to flip the ribs around (put the ones that were on top on the bottom, vice versa) about about halfway through as the sauce tends to all go to the bottom; that way the ones of top get to soak in the sauce good too. So easy to fix and tastes great. Meat falls right off the bone.
Here's a recipe from crockpot.com
Chicken with 40 Cloves Garlic
Ingredients:
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 springs fresh Italian parsley
40 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
4 lb whole chicken
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 loaf French bread,sliced
Directions:
Place 1 sprig thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley in chicken cavity. Place celery in stoneware. Put chicken on top of celery. Add garlic around chicken. Chop remaining herbs sprinkle herbs, salt and pepper over chicken. Cover cook on Low 8 - 10 hours or on High 4 - 6 hours. To serve, place chicken, garlic and celery on serving platter. Squeeze roasted garlic out of skins onto toasted French bread slices and spread with knife.
This recipe is from www.crock-pot.com
What else do you like to cook in your crockpot?
I love a roast in the crockpot but what else is really good?
Crockpot timesaver tip. sm
I came across something new (at least new to me). Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners. No more scrubbing baked on food out of the crockpot. They work like oven baking plastic bags. Even big enough to use in my oval-shaped crockpot. 
depends which part you come from, you show northern Italian. Sicialians do things different.

Wash it, up in the crockpot with 2 cans of
cream of mushroom soup, one soup can of water and 1 package of onion soup mix. Make some rice when you are ready to eat. YUM. If you don't have those incredients, you can use potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots, but put a couple of tablespoons of flour in the crockpot before you put the roast in and then add some wine or some other kind of liquid to give you a gravy. I like my roast to fall apart when I try to put it out of the crockpot.
Just one favorite crockpot recipe?
I love my crockpot. I especially like working at home while the crockpot cooks all day long because it smells so good. I like to make stew, chili, spaghetti sauce, roast beef with vegetables, French dip sandwich meat, and tons of other stuff. Since it'll be raining tomorrow, we're having polska kielbasa with new potatoes and cabbage. It sounds and smells a little off, but it's so good!
Personally, I love my crockpot...
I just made chili last night, best we ever had, really.
Since I did not have the money for the one you mentioned, with the timer and everything, I opted for a $15 one in a dollar store, and the beauty is the pot itself. No matter how bad the food sticks on the edges, it comes off with almost just a wipe, maybe a quick soak first, if real bad.
A friend of mine uses her for cider, to keep it warm. Mine does have a warmer, and the crock pulls out, I would at least suggest that. I had an 'original' crockpot (which I really loved) but what a chore to clean it as the electric unit was connected...
Anyway, a definite must in my kitchen. Also, we have a small place that heats up in the summer, so many times rather than use the oven I have used that little potassium for all kinds of things.
Best $15 I ever spent.
It smells the house up great in the fall, too. Even though I am home and can use the oven in the cooler months, even my boyfriend says he loves the smell of the food cooking, especially during football! I do some barbecue pork or whatever for him. (I do not eat meat). I did a meatless chili last night, then just added ground beef with my boyfriend's bowl and mixed it in. Awesome!
Not sure why people even bother to post when they are not interested in the topic, but just had to say I love my CP!
You could probably get the lid replaced, by the way...
Good luck.

crockpot turkey breast question
I just got a crockpot, have not really used one much. I want to cook a boneless turkey breast. Have looked at recipes online, most have no liquid added. The idea of leaving it on low at home, while I'm a work, (with no liquid) makes me a little nervous. Comments? TIA
crockpot chicken/gravy over rice
Brown up chicken breasts and put in crockpot. pour mixture of Cream of chicken soup,dried onion,parsley and 1/2 can water over the top. cook on low all afternoon and serve over rice.
I do have a crockpot in my Goodwill box. I've ended up with 3 of them somehow.
Thanks for the offer. My mother and maternal grandmother both died of breast CA and I always knew of all the girls in the family I was going to be the one to get it, just didn't think this early. Haven't had staging yet, but I get yearly mammograms so hopefully they've caught it early enough.
I'm already trying to decide if I'm going to dye my hair that burgundy color that seems to be popular or if I'm going to get a super short haircut. I've recently taken up knitting and I've already accumulated a major stash of yarn and I'm making a list of all the things I'm going to make and how I'm going to teach all the other people going through chemo to knit and we'll just have a jolly ole' time knitting and carrying on. I've been wanting more time to knit.

Any rose gardeners out there? Good roses that are disease proof and smell good?
I heard good things about Knockout Rose but they don't smell too much like traditional rose. Supposedly blooms all season.

Agree with other poster.. good price..good service
I definitely think they are one of the best out there. We also have been talked through issues over the phone and also had a warranty in which they came out and fixed it right at our home. My only complaint..and I am sorry for saying this.. but... when you call their customer service 9 out of 10 times...you get someone who barely speaks English and I just hate that. I think that is true of a lot of customer support centers these days, ironically they are rarely American anymore. I am not prejudice at all. I just find it frustrating to call in for help and the help you get barely understands you and you do not understand them, thus making the experience very frustrating..
Expensive is right -- around $300 per credit hour! But they do have a good rep. Good luck! nm
I believe Pilates is good for shaping and strength, but you still need some cardio for good fat

Good for you. Sounds very interesting and a good chance of pace - sm
but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live. I also live in a small town so that limits my options. I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT. The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations. With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that. I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.
Thanks for all the responses.
8 is NOT good if never going any higher - good to get the rust out in the short term though

Is the dictation quality good, are the dictators good, are you
a newbie and you still have to look up lots of words .... The very first day I typed, with absolutely no education way back when, when you didn't have to have a degree/certificate or previous experience, I typed 665 lines. This was without an expander and I was not a fast typist. I can do 1000 lines in about 4 hours now on average.
LOL! Well, good! I've done ONE good thing today, then. NM

You have a good, realistic attitude about it. Good luck to you. nm

Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.
In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.
Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!
The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
