Food & Drink - 24 January 2007

I am from US and living in a metric country. The butter here is not wrapped in those packages that have the tbs graduation marks.. but I have a scale that I can measure the grams needed for my recipe.
Any help??
I actually like the metric better, wish I would have paid more attention in the 70's when the US schools wanted us to switch!
thanks
K

Looking for old family recipe. Crockpot Chicken over Biscuits.?

I am looking for a recipe my parents used to make me as a child ... I keep finding similiar recipes but I am a horrible cook, so I am trying to find the exact recipe.

I know my mom cooked a whole chicken in a crockpot first for several hours. Later the chicken was taken out and shredded and put back in, peas were the only vegetable. Salt and Pepper the only spices I remember ... It made a nice thick chicken broth with peas. We had it served over biscuits.

I remember it having very few ingredients, the mains ones being the chicken, peas, and biscuits.

Thanks for the help!
