You could recover by adding some lentils and spices and making lentil
soup.

Sounds like you were trying to cook vegetables the way the English
used to. Boil for ever! Cabbage used to be particularly good, cook
for ever, then throw out the goodness in the water and serve the pale
green cabbage that was left.

Crockpots don't boil on a low setting. Hell, they barely reach a boil
on the high setting. Why anyone would want to cook carrots in beef
broth without it being part of a stew or cooked with a roast is the
mystery. Then again, Pooh is rather lame.

I like lentils.

I like big, hearty chunks of carrots.

But I also like baby carrots.

But a baby carrot is a chunk in itself, so the word "baby" is kind of a
misnomer.

I won't disagree; but I guessed that the exercise was done trying to
make boxed broth taste more like home made stock. <shrug>

I brown everything that goes into the crockpot and include such things as
tomato paste, Worcester sauce, win, seasonings etc with the broth. I can't
imagine just putting stuff in with broth. Potatoes never work for me though
and I don't include them any more. They just don't cook properly.

How can you tell when you've browned the "Worcester" sauce?

That's the easiest thing to brown as it starts out that way.

Maybe you're right. The Pooh didn't give us any rhyme or reason for
having done this. Crockpot or not, sounds horrid.

Sometimes I overcook pasta. Definitely not the good kind of mush.

This is a popular recipe for mush (fried cornmeal mush recipe):

Mmmm. Fried cornmeal mush drizzled with real maple syrup! My
new(ish) breakfast favorite is something a lot thinner, fried up
crispy on both sides, set on a drizzle of maple syrup and topped with
a poached egg. Heaven on a plate!

I don't know, I've never eaten cornmeal pancakes - but I would think
it's a lot different, partially because there is no egg or flour.
What I've been thinking of doing (if I fried) is make cornmeal waffles
for chicken and waffles. I've had that exactly once and it was soooo
good, I want it again!
