Thank you jasdip. I figured the cut you used was a shoulder. I think the marinade would work on the cut I have in my freezer, but I won't do well in a slow cooker. Chase - there are people who lurk and don't have much experience. I asked so jasdip could clarify to those that don't understand that different cuts respond to different cooking methods. Chase you wrote: "jasdip, not to worry. Most on this forum can figure out the cut and the size based on your recipe." Yes Chase I agree with you in part - but there are always newcomers and inexperienced people who visit also. And there may be people who don't know how to cook at all. It is a public forum and open to anyone who cares to join. A comment like that might intimidate an inexperienced newcomer. Teresa

Sorry I missed your birthday party Jassy. Don't suppose you saved a piece of cake for me! :) How did the lunch go? I'm sure it was a blast.

Hey, we've had a busy few days at the hospital. We were in on Thursday to get blood work and then his bone-health injection. They always do the blood tests first to make sure that his phosphate is high enough to get the injection. His phosphate levels dropped drastically, and we were put in the chemo unit immediately for a 4-hour infusion. Completely unexpected. It was after 7 when we got home. They then told us that we had to go in again on Friday for 6 hours AND on Monday. At least we were prepared for Friday, and took a lunch, drinks and some books. Monday we have an app't at 8 for blood work and meeting with the radiologist at afterwards to see if we're good-to-go for hubby's radium injection. That's the one that comes from the Netherlands, so they check for white blood cell count before they order it in. So we'll be there at 8, see the doc and 9:30, and then go for the 6-hour infusion. There is wi-fi at the hospital but it's very very expensive. The nurses and volunteers think that it's horrible that they don't offer/give a discount to patients who are there on chemo for hours, without wi-fi, unless of course they have their own data plan. I posted yesterday on a couple of threads, but didn't want to do the weekend quiz on the weekend. I'll post the trivia quiz tonite, so it's there for Monday.

She was. Visited southern Ontario several years ago, and I met several internet friends during her visit. The old guys from weekly coffee hour at church take their wives to dinner in late June, to end their season ... and I said that I didn't know whether I could make it or not ... as some internet friends were to meet in London that day. They couldn't figure how some friends from the internet could interfere with the annual celebration of a local crew ... but they didn't know the KT, and Nita. Turned out that I attended their dinner ... as it was at noon, and the internet/KT crew were meeting at 2. I got to meet Jasdip and hubby that day. Who else were there, jassy? That was when Iva Mae was still among us, wasn't it? ole joyful
