Assuming you still work here is a Crock Pot Recipe which is easy, one pot and cooks while at work.

Chicken Creole (Works well with shrimp too, except don't add shrimp until 20 to 30 minutes before serving.)

1 lb Chicken pieces (preferably hen or roaster)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped sweet pepper
1 pod chopped garlic
2 - 3 chopped tomato (preferably peeled or canned minced tomato)
Salt and Blk pepper to taste
!/2 cup red wine (optional)
1.2 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)

Place in crock pot on high before dressing for work. Turn down to low before leaving. It will be ready to serve when you get home. Serve over rice. The basis of this is Spanish (not Mexican) Salsa Piquante or the French Sauce Piquant. Add red pepper to taste at the table.

I guess it is my turn: This is totally stolen from Paula Dean but it is so good even though it looks like upchuck when you mix it together:


6 cups large diced yellow squash and zucchini
Vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon House seasoning, recipe follows
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed Ritz cracker

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Saute the squash in a little vegetable oil over medium-low heat until it has completely broken down, about 15 to 20 minutes. Line a colander with a clean tea towel. Place the cooked squash in the lined colander. Squeeze excess moisture from the squash. Set aside.

In a medium size skillet, saute the onion in butter for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and mix all ingredients together except cracker crumbs. Pour mixture into a buttered casserole dish and top with cracker crumbs. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
House Seasoning:

1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups

I thoroughly enjoyed the food in Turkey. Stuffed eggplant was one of my favorites, along with lamb chops (or was it young goat?) The old Roman Ruins in Efes (Ephesus) and St John's Cathedral were great. I also liked big market in Istanbul and the casino next to our hotel. That was a great trip and I would like to go back if I were young and able enough to be mobile. The trek from the top of the hill (thank goodness they left us off at the top) down past the library and over to the coliseum and Cleopatra's walk down to the sea (where the sea was a few thousand years ago.) Oh well, at 77 I am likely done my traveling but I have my pictures and my memories.

The closest I have come to the stuffed eggplant is:

1 small egg plant for every 2 people for dinner. For my wife and I I use only one.

I carefully scoop out the eggplant meat and chop it up.
1/2 lb ground lamb
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped sweet pepper
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp coriandar
1/4 tsp tumeric
1 pinch cumin seed
salt and pepper to taste

With a little olive oil I gently stir fry the spices, then add the meat stirring until no longer any raw showing and add the onions and pepper stirring until onion is slightly clear cooked. I add 1/4 cup dry red wine, cover and using a flame tamer I cook on very low for about half an hour. I spoon the mixture back into the eggplant shells, sprinkle a little cheese (sometimes Romano, sometimes Mozzarella. Turkish cheese is hard to get) on top then bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 350* preheated oven.

I had a meal today of which I had not partaken in years. When I was a kid after graduating from high school in India, the son of the Afghan Ambassador to India took most of the guys on a trip through Thailand and Indochina. One of our stop was at a hotel restaurant in Vungtau, Vietnam. It was a resort area on the South China Sea very popular with the French colonialists of the time. I returned to Vungtau several times in the 60s, during my 3 tours in VN with the Army. Ciro's was still there. My favorite meal was French Onion Soup, followed by Lobster stuffed back into its shell and baked and oriental fried rice.

I made it today for dinner. Um um good.
