I probably owe a report on that!! It was great. Em had a terrific attitude throughout - 40 and 50 mile days. (Really nice for me to do something a little shorter than usual!) It was a fun weekend.

So on the coq au vin - I have done it a number of times in the crock pot. I am sure the labor intensive recipes are better, but this works out well when you are like I am and (1) not a great cook; (2) not overly patient and willing to spend a lot of time cooking. I always cook up the bacon first and then brown the chicken and also let the mushrooms, onions, etc. spend a little time in the bacon pan.
