For anyone who was interested in that recipe, here it is -
Garbanzos and Couscous (or bulghur, as we've already established)
1 small onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 14 1/2 oz can diced tomatoes 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 15 oz can garbanzos, drained 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup chicken-flavored broth* 1 1/2 cups cooked couscous (or
bulghur)
Combine all ingredients except couscous (or bulghur) in the crock pot. Mix
thoroughly. Cover; cook on Low 8 to 10 hours or High 3 to 4 hours. Add
cooked couscous or bulghur during the last 15 minutes of cooking. 6 to 8
servings.

And, since one good turn deserves another....I'm throwing my lot in with Kate
and admitting that I, too, missed and would like to see the fabulous Spinach
Dip (unless it has dairy in it, in which case my mind will go blank until I
scroll past it) <wink>
