    Dr. John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, created the
    syrup for Coca-Cola.

    He carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy
    in Atlanta. There, it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on
    sale as a soda fountain drink for five cents a glass.

    Dr. Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, suggested the name
    "Coca-Cola" and penned the flowing script that is famous today.

    Title: Working Person's Crockpot Country Pork Dinner *
    Categories: Pork, Potatoes, Vegetables, Crockpot
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 lb Pork loin country-style ribs
    - in serving pieces
    1/3 c Flour
    2 tb Oil
    1 1/2 c Apple cider
    1 c Water

    1/2 ts Pepper

    * Politically correct title. Original was "Working
    Man's Crockpot Country Pork Dinner)

    All preparation can be done the night before and assembled
    in the morning before leaving for work so you'll be
    greeted with a hearty supper at the end of the day.

    In a large plastic bag combine flour, salt and pepper.
    Drop meat into bag and coat pork loin country-style ribs
    with flour mixture; reserve leftover flour. In large
    skillet over med-high heat, in hot salad oil, cook meat, a
    few pieces at a time, until well browned on all sides,
    removing pieces as they brown.

    NOTE: I have made this without "browning" the meat. There
    is no noticable difference in taste and only a minor
    change in texture. - UDD

    Reduce heat to med; into drippings in skillet, stir
    reserved flour until blended. Gradually stir in apple
    cider. Simmer to thicken to gravy. Remove from heat and
    set aside.

    In 6 qt crockpot * add potatoes, carrots, onions and
    cabbage. Sprinkle with caraway seeds. Top with meat. Pour
    on gravy. Cover crockpot and cook on high for 6 hours or
    low for 8-10 hours.
