Although it is not quite slow cooker weather here, for many of you it is. Actually, I tend to use the slow cooker all year because it doesn’t heat up the kitchen and it really is a great way to cook meals.
This is so good. You can substitute a good dark ale for the wine if you like with excellent results.
Serve it with a dark rye bread, some sliced Swiss or Gouda, noodles, and you have a great meal happening.

We got a blue norther through today. I have not seen one that color since one August in Michigan.  It was my Aunt and Uncle’s fiftieth anniversary and we were having a picnic…a blue norther blew through and dropped it 40 degrees in about 30 minutes.
Our temperature didn’t really drop today..too much..it’s supposed to get down to 42 tonight.  I have no way of predicting the winter..I used to depend on the horses’ coats for that..thick meant a colder than normal winter.
Anyway, all of a sudden it is soup season and I didn’t even realize it!
