Animal, Vegetable, ?

Hey Basil Readers. So today I realized that I had believed that the book was called Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Why is that, I wonder? Has anyone else started reading it? I am kind of dying to discuss. We were at the cabin this weekend, so I got a lot of reading in.

I am struggling to balance feelings of curiosity, envy, disdain, anger, and intrigue. That's me right now.

Also, here is a link to the book's website. I am really dorking out about this book.

Liz's bookclub chicken

Here's the recipe from this week:

Layer the following on the bottom of the slow cooker:
1) 1 small package of dried beef (you can find it in the pre-packaged meat section with sliced deli meats)
2) 3 to 6 chicken breasts
3) mixture of 1 cup lite sour cream, 1 regular size can cream of mushroom soup (I used reduced fat) and 1/4 cup flour

Cook on low for 10 hours. For bookclub, I cooked for 2 hours on high and 2 hours on low.

Serve with stuffing.
