That recipe calls for soaking the dry beans in salted water so I personally wouldn't be too worried about canned beans being too salty. I am however not a bean expert.

Just had an idea for endlessmonotony - how about rice porridge (congee/jook)? I typically do it on the stove top but you could probably do it in the slow cooker.

Just use 1 part rice and 10 parts liquid and let it go until done.. not sure how long it would be in the slow cooker, maybe 3-4 hours? Chicken stock would be better flavor, or could do half stock/half water, or even just water works if you will be seasoning it heavily. If you can add a piece of ginger and onion to help season it, that would be nice, though a bit of powdered ginger and onion powder can work too if that is not possible. The ginger/onion if you have it should be in larger pieces so you can fish it out since the texture of onion cooked in rice porridge isn't great. Ginger might be tough since slicing it to expose the interior is ideal for the flavor to permeate into the porridge but you can break ginger into pieces with your hands, so maybe it would still work to some extent.

Good seasonings include fish sauce and soy sauce, but you can season with salt too if that's all you have.

From there you can add a lot of different toppings. Canned chicken would work to add in. You can add raw chicken in at the beginning to cook with the porridge. You could crack in an egg later in the cooking process. Chile pastes like the angry lady lao gan ma or crispy shallots/onions that are already fried. These may be able to be found online for ordering if you can't find it in your area.

Fresh green onion is always nice to top rice porridge, cilantro too. I'm not sure if you are able to handle scissors but if you are, then you can adequately "chop" green onions and cilantro. While not ideal, you can also freeze your chopped green onion/cilantro since you can't always get to the store. It will still add nice flavor to the rice porridge if you don't have fresh green onion on a given day.

Probably would work, certainly wouldn't taste bad. I don't really have any special insight into Indian cooking, so I just tend to follow the recipes as written. Let us know how it turns out.

Almonds would be good, but the one's I have would need skinning and flaking and I got way too much to do to bother with that. Still, I could go with almonds if I find the inclination tomorrow.

I'm still readin'. And yeah, I looked at this recipe, and instantly things started clicking in my head - I have this recipe for egg fried rice I make, and a slow cooker on high oughta able to make a version easily. Well, other than cleaning the eggs, but I'll just pad the counter with paper to catch any errant eggshell bits.

Shopping planned for next week. In related news, family decided I should have a breadmaker, so I'm experimenting with that now. (It's a Kenwood BM 450.)

It might be easier to just use those cartons of egg. They're about the same price and already scrambled.

The dude says he has for real no poo poo brain damage. I don't think knife skills are in his future. Granted, there are people I know that also have no place handling a knife, and their brains are supposedly completely intact. No shame in using a cool little contraption to get your dice on! Just make sure you understand it's limits, and don't try to dice ice (i've seen it happen. We were drunk. It broke).

Fried rice, however, sounds fantastic! And do see if you can get those cartoned pre-scrambled eggs, they call them Eggbeaters in the US. A bread maker also sounds pretty great! The only thing is getting the measurements correct, which even I have difficulty with sometimes. But nothing beats fresh bread.

How do you season pork chops/tenderloin? Apparently that's another good source of lean protein, so I might just buy that since it's generally cheaper than chicken breasts.

I can't seem to find now, but apple season I do pork chops pan seared nicely (something like s&p, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, white pepper, the like) and then I make a pan sauce out of caramelized apples, onions, brown sugar, a little vinegar, and some bourbon. It's rad.

pork chops always seem to be on sale too, I really need to eat them more.

Yep, this. EndlessMonotony was originally asking for tips about a week ago for someone who has issues with coordination and dexterity and travel/transport, so hence the slow cooker/rice pot recommendations since there's no hot stove or boil-over worries.

Agreed on the eggbeaters. Also now I'm curious if there are other things you can make in a breadmaker besides bread.
