the slow cooker. I just copied your message because I loved the additions you did to the recipe. I am so glad that you enjoyed the results. It is now my favorite way of cooking.

By the way, yesterday I bought two more to give as Christmas gifts to Maria Bueno (my Cuban friend) & to my beloved cousin, Rafael Batista. He enjoys cooking for his family & he is planning on cooking a 10 lb pork shoulder for Christmas. Both of them had tasted both the Galician Soup & the pork shoulder (at my home, because they are frequent visitors)& had really considered them as exceptional. I will include to both of them copy of your message so that they have the option to prepare it in a new wonderful way.

I also received (quite promptly) the Euro Pro 7-quart Programmable Slow Cooker (the one I ordered from Chef's Catalog) & I am planning to use it on Saturday night (for a small group of family) using a 12 lb. turkey. I am quite excited because I never, if I can help it, eat turkey because it is too dry. I will let you know how it goes.

I was just laughing about what you told me of the wonderful aroma of the food. It happens just the same here. It is an effortless way to produce great dishes.

Thanks for letting me know, dearest June.
