Liz wanted to try and recreate one of our favorite recipes for green beans, using the slow cooker we purchased recently (for catering gigs). The tomato sauce was one of our last batches of canned tomatoes we made from our garden in September 2004 -- still had amazing flavor...

The "not quite pita" Grill Bread (made in the cast-iron skillet) was a good compliment to the whole meal with the Muhammara, Loubeh and lentil soup.
