Wow! I didn't know that, but then there was the town of Moncton which became Rattlesnake Lake when they dammed the Cedar River, causing a bunch os new springs to break though the glacial till, and remains of other old buildings in other places around here as well.

I know North Bend used to be a lot busier before I-90 went through. It has a history similar to "Radiator Springs" in the Disney Cars movie. The interstate came and bypassed the town. All the motels and car-repair shops closed down and the town pretty much died.


I just looked up the historical data ... NB had a population of only 299 people in 1910. Seattle was 237,924. Must have been the other North Bend.

Just thought I'd pop in and say a late Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all.

Ogress - I'm in North Bend as well.....exit 34.

I use mine a lot.
but I don't really have "recipes"
I just toss things in that sound good together

most everything turns out great but I've had a few bombs.

BBQ sauce... a couple bottles..
seared ribs.. or other seared meat.
place in crock pot
cover with BBQ
crock pot it till ya get home. and it falls off the bones!

chicken
cover with cream of mushroom soup, couple cans with half the water
add salsa
crock pot it...

seared meat, or left over sausages
potatoes
carrots
onions
any veggies
water to cover
packet of onion soup mix and what ever spices you like

those are kinda my "standards"

awesome--that works.

Thank you so much!! Can it crock pot for 12 plus hours???

There is also a 'North Bend' & 'South Bend' and a plain old 'Bend' in Oregon, too.
My Dad told me once that Oregon has copied every city it has from some city elsewhere..Millwaukee ??
I think it's only original name, is Willamett.

I used to bake mine and then run them through the hand-crank meat grinder...but a few days ago an epiphany struck !
Pow!
I got out my hand mixer, put the chopper attachment on, cracked a doz eggs, threw in the shells and smashed them a bit, then got them with the hand mixer and all the shells were reduced to specks...then I fried up the scrambled eggs...and added left over rice, and some cottage cheese, and the birds ate good.
I suppose, if you did the same grinding up shells with a handmixer/chopper in a bowl of water, then drain through fine collander and then bake you could just toss the shells right back on their feed.

And Canby!! LOL Though my town is named for General Canby...hey, at least Milwaukie is spelled different here. LOL. Lots of our names are for area Indians. Like Milwaukie and Willamette.
