Name: Thai Lemongrass Chicken
Ingredients: 1 (2 1/2 to 3lb) whole chicken; cleaned & patted dry; 1 c Water; 1 sm Onion; minced fine; 2 tb Red pepper flakes; 10 6" pieces lemon grass stalk (available at oriental markets; or a weed if you grow it!); Salt & pepper to taste; 1/2 c Heavy cream; 1 lb Fresh mushrooms of choice; sliced thin

If we had been told that God was coming into a man's life…that must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory, and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with an earthquake. When He comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity He occupies into some inhuman shape. Instead of that, this new life into which God comes seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.

Stuff half the lemongrass shoots into the chicken cavity.  Put the chicken
in the crockpot. Dump the rest in, and cook on low for 4-6 hrs until the
chicken is fork tender.  Note:  If you like spicy food, use more than 2 T
red pepper flakes - to taste really. I like hot food, so I've added up to 5
T. Season also with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the chicken with
rice and veggies.
Save the stock for soup. If you prefer a creamier soup, you can add sour
cream to get the desired consistency, or if you like more authenticity, try
coconut milk.
