Were you aware that our favored pizza place is *in* a gas station?
There is also a Mexican place we keep wanting to try that is also in a
gas station -- it was given a good review on Diners, Dives and Dumps and
also a good review in the local HowChow blog.

I'm not sure how long it has been since we made that at a picnic -- we
could easily do it this time.  I am going to bring a couple of pastramis
that I made a few weeks ago and now have in the freezer.  They started
out as corned beef on sale mid-March.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Poorman's Jambalaya
 Categories: D/g, Cajun, Ham, Sausage, Boat
      Yield: 4 servings
 
MMMMM-----------------------SEASONING MIX----------------------------
      4 sm Whole bay leaves
      1 ts Salt
      1 ts White pepper
      1 ts Dry mustard
    1/4 ts Ground red pepper
           -(cayenne)
      1 ts Gumbo file' (i.e. file'
           -powder), optional
    1/2 ts Ground cumin
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Dried thyme leaves

MMMMM---------------------------MEATS--------------------------------
      4 tb Margarine or oil for
           -frying
      1 lb More or less of ham --
           -diced -- firm and lean is
           -best.
      1 lb More or less of smoked
           -sausage, diced.
           -(Eckridge)

MMMMM---------------------VEGETABLES & RICE--------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Chopped onions.
  1 1/2 c  Chopped celery
      1 c  Chopped green bell peppers
           -(may substitute red bell
           -peppers for color if they
           -are cheap)
  1 1/2 ts Minced or chopped fresh
           -garlic
      2 c  Uncooked rice
           (Uncle Ben's Converted)
      4 c  Chicken stock

MMMMM-----------------------CROCKPOT NOTE----------------------------
           Use 2 1/4 cup uncooked rice
 
  Total time, including chopping, approximately 2 hours.
  
  Serves 4 as a main course, or 8 one cup appetizers.
  
  Mix seasoning into a small dish and set aside.
  
  Heat large cast iron skillet (dutch oven) over medium high heat.  Add
  margarine or oil.  Add the ham and sausage; cook for 5 minutes,
  stirring often. Drain excess liquid if needed.
  
  Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, seasoning mix and garlic.  Stir
  well, lower heat to medium and continue cooking - about 10 minutes,
  stirring often and scraping pan bottom well.  (Watch bottom of
  mixture so it does not get too brown)
  
  Stir in the rice and cook 5 minutes, scraping pan bottom occasionally.
  
  Add the stock, stirring well.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a low
  simmer.  Simmer covered about 35-45 minutes until rice is tender and
  until all the liquid is absorbed.  Stir occasionally toward the end
  of cooking time to make sure bottom rice does not burn.
  
  CROCKPOT VERSION
  
  Follow above directions including adding stock. Do NOT bring stock up
  to a boil - just to warm. Scrape bottom of pan to gather up browned
  flavoring and then transfer rice/stock mixture to crockpot.
  
  Cook in crockpot on HIGH for 1 1/2 Hours.  Stir after one hour.
  
  When rice is done you can turn crockpot off and mixture will stay
  warm for two hours or more.  BUT you MUST place a couple layers of
  paper towel between pot and lid so mixture will not absorb moisture
  that will drop back into the rice.
