Colonel Ben Skarden '38 and his arresting Clemson Ring story

During the months that followed the fall of Bataan to Japanese Army Troops [WWII] and the subsequent imprisonment of captured American troops at the large POW camp at Cabanatuan in Central Luzon (the main island of the Philippines), the physical condition of many POWs deteriorated. Hundreds died from lack of sufficient food, medicine and medical care. At this time, I was fortunate to have teamed up with two fellow officers who were Clemson graduates: Henry Leitner 37 and Otis Morgan 38. As conditions worsened, I became a victim of beriberi, malaria, diarrhea, and an eye infection. I had no appetite, and I could hardly swallow. Henry and Otis took turns spoon-feeding me, cleaning my eyes, carrying me piggyback to an open latrine, washing me and carrying me back to our nipa shack. Most of our personal possessions had disappeared; however, I had managed to keep my Clemson class ring hidden. Otis, who worked on the farm as an in-charge (an American who could understand enough Japanese to pass on the instructions to the POW work details), let it be known that he knew of a gold ring available for trade to the Japanese for food. A deal was made, and one evening Otis came in from the farm with a small can of potted ham and a live pullet-sized chicken. Henry borrowed a tin pail, built a fire and boiled the chicken. They fed me hot chicken soup, chicken with rice and rice with chicken. Nothing was left except the bones, which by that time, were gleaming white. They broke the bones ...

Easy Three Ingredient Boneless Chicken Recipes

If you are the kind of cook who hates making complicated recipes and having to measure out half a teaspoon of this, half a teaspoon of that and half a teaspoon of the other, three ingredient chicken recipes might be just what you are looking for.

After all, chicken has plenty of natural flavor, so why add a lot more? Surely if you add twenty ingredients to boneless chicken, you will not be able to taste the chicken at the end of it. Actually, that is not strictly true and a lot of recipes work on the concept that you need to combine a lot of ingredients to find the perfect flavor combination.

Why Some Recipes are Complex

If you make a twenty ingredient Asian boneless chicken recipe, for example, and half of those ingredients are herbs and spices, you will be able to smell several distinct ingredients before taking your first bite. After that, you will have a balanced taste in your mouth and you should be able to differentiate numerous flavors, all of which go together nicely.

This is the type of food you would expect in a restaurant. If you had a suspicion the chef had made your entree using just three ingredients, you would probably feel that you were not getting your money's worth, even if the food was tasty. Complex recipes are also good for special occasions or when you want to impress.

However, what about if you just want to make your family a tasty dinner and you do not have two hours to weigh out and combine ingredients? That is where three ingredient chicken breast recipes are ideal.

Types of Three Ingredient Meals

You can combine chicken with all kinds of other flavors, making it versatile as well as comparatively cheap to buy. Combine some chicken pieces with chopped onion and spicy salsa and bake it for a lively Mexican dish.

You can cook chicken recipes in the crockpot too. Try combining some chicken with frozen vegetables and a bottle of sweet and sour sauce for a tasty Chinese style dish. Swiss cheese stuffed chicken in a canned mushroom and garlic soup is another clever crockpot idea.

Easy Three Ingredient Crockpot Chicken Recipe

This boneless chicken recipe is incredibly simple and makes tasty cheese flavored chicken recipe that you can serve with rice or noodle. You can add some chili powder and black pepper to the chicken and soup before you start cooking it, if you like, if you do not mind turning this into a five-ingredient dish. This recipe makes enough cheesy chicken to serve six people.

You will need:

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
10 oz can condensed Fiesta cheese soup
10 oz can condensed cream of chicken soup

How to make it:

Put the chicken breasts in your crockpot and pour the undiluted soup over the top. Stir to combine. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken has no pink left inside and its juices run clear when you pierce it with a knife in the thickest part.

Best Slow Cooker - Programmable Slow Cooker With Meat Thermometer

Of the best 6 quart programmable slow cookers on the market, one of them has a unique feature that makes it the best slow cooker for many families.

The special unique feature the Hamilton Beach 33967 Set 'n Forget 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker, that makes it the best slow cooker in this category, is the meat thermometer.

If your family would like to regularly enjoy a moist slow cooker roast, tender turkey breast, pork tenderloin, or slow cooker chicken, the meat thermometer probe gives you peace of mind and worry-free results. When you use your Hamilton Beach programmable slow cooker with meat thermometer to help you make dinner, the meat portion of your meal will always be cooked to perfection when you are ready to serve. If you are concerned a programmable slow cooker might be hard to use, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Cooking with the Meat Thermometer Probe

You simply insert the meat thermometer probe into the middle or thickest part of the meat, through a tiny hole in the lid. Select high or low and set the temperature. The probe monitors the cooking process until the meat has reached the set temperature. Once the desired internal temperature is reached, as per the food safety guidelines, the meat is cooked and the unit automatically switches to warm mode. Warm mode will keep your meal warm until you are ready to start serving.

If you cook chicken or turkey breast, pork chops or large pieces of meat regularly, the meat thermometer probe will be a frequently used feature, as it will ensure the meat is perfectly cooked every time. No need for you to calculate or guess how long it will take to cook, and therefore, there is no risk of under or over cooking the meat. Ingenious! In my opinion, the meat thermometer has got to be one of the best reasons to own this particular model.

To use the program cooking mode, just put your meal together in the cooker, select the cooking time, choose the heat setting, and then you can literally walk away. Which is exactly why it is called Set 'n Forget. Once the cooking time has finished, it will automatically switch to warm mode.

Hamilton Beach 33967 - More Special Features

This Hamilton Beach crock pot has some additional special features, for example, power-interrupt protection, a clip-on spoon, a clip-tight gasket lid and side handles which make it easy and safe to carry or move. I really like the clip-tight gasket lid which is designed to prevent spilling your pot luck dinner in the car on the way to the party. The gasket also prevents the lid from developing a steam pressure rattle; instead, your slow cooker will just quietly simmer away on the counter top.

A Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker is a Real Time Saver!

This good looking, generously proportioned, oval Hamilton Beach 6 quart slow cooker easily takes up to a 7 pound roast of meat, a turkey breast or whole ham; or will cook up to 9 servings of soup, creamy pasta, curry, chili, casserole or chocolate fudge pudding. It is an ideal size for a larger family or a cook that likes to have enough left over to freeze.

I also recommend smaller families and singles consider the Hamilton Beach 33967 too, as long as they are able to freeze the additional servings. Most weeks I serve one or two meals that were cooked and frozen the previous week. I find it a major time and cost saver to be able to get a meal out of the freezer to reheat for dinner that night, rather than to cook another one from scratch.

When I have the inclination, which is usually fueled by buying a quantity of discounted meat or tomatoes, I use my slow cooker to batch cook chicken casseroles, curries and spaghetti sauce etc, so I have some for now and some to freeze for later. I actually always find everything tastes even better when reheated.

I use mine nearly every day, so I know you will find owning a programmable slow cooker is a real time saver! It's amazing that just 5-10 minutes meal preparation time in the morning, gives you time and saves stress at the dinner end of the day. If you have a busy life and a hungry family to feed you will really enjoy every benefit of owning one of these Hamilton Beach slow cookers. Like me, you'll look forward to coming home to the major part of the meal ready and waiting.

Your instruction manual comes with 7 mouth-watering recipes using the meat thermometer to get you started. The recipe for "Maple Boneless Pork Roast" sounds amazing. You will find, between the recipe pages and the "Cooking Guide for Probe" page, you have all the information you need to get in and get started with using your slow cooker to make dinner for your family.

Delicacies of Spain - Gazpacho

Gazpacho is the spanish name for chilled vegetable soup, and although the name is the same through out Spain, the dish varies widely from region to region and even cook to cook.

This uncooked soup is made from any vegetables that you like, and is in effect a liquid salad.

The traditional way of making the soup is to use a mortar and pestle and crush the various vegetables together to a creamy paste then add soaked stale bread and chilled water, salt ,olive oil and vinegar to taste.

The most common ingredients are

tomatoes, skinned and deseeded
onion
red pepper, skinned and deseeded
cucumber
garlic
celery
You can make Gazpacho, using a blender or liquidizer, instead of a mortar and pestle, just chop the ingredients in to small pieces before adding to the blender and the machine will be able to reduce them to a puree.

Remember to taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning, as even with onion and garlic it can be quite bland if unseasoned.

You can also introduce herds in to the mix, fresh basil works very well, as do fresh oregano, fresh thyme and fresh coriander.

When you have achieved the consistency you want chill the soup, or if serving immediately add some ice cubes to reduce its temperature. The Gazpacho can be served with all manner of additional touches, like a salad it works well with cooked peeled prawns (shrimp), diced ham, croutons, even hard boiled egg or shredded chicken
