Will do. :-D :-D :-D

Bon Appetit Joan.

I bought a slow cooker a couple of weeks ago but i haven't used it yet.

I have never felt the need before because i work from home and if i want to cook anything slowly, i can.

But, tasting meals (Meat especially) that has been cooked in a slow cooker is just beautiful.........so i succumed and bought one.

We have had chicken breasts wrapped in bacon, roasters, roast parsnips carrots. Yummy sprouts cooked then fried in butter and swede and cauli.

Gonna make an apple pie for tea. :-D

I have had beans on toast today.

Poundland have those tiny tins of beans which are exactly the right size for one portion.

Did a steamed vege suet pudding on Friday. It was Quorn lamb style strips with a can of beer in it and was not too bad at all.

It was a bit overcooked, as were the veg and the rice pudding because I felt it more important that Fred get on with his domestic duties once the electric was hoist was repaired and we could get him out of bed than that the tea should be spot on.

I'm having Boef Bourgignon, which is sitting in the slow cooker until 6 0'clock, plus new potatoes, broccoli and green beans :-D :-D :-D :-D

Call in to Paula's on the way and grab some of her rhubarb pie and custard.

But as i always say.........Don't be shy, give it a try.

i did an online shop on Wed and bought a pack of 12 outdoor reared Pork chipolatas . Forgot I was going out for a ladies lunch yesterday with daughter,grandaughter and grt grandaughter

Hubby did his own lunch and used 4 chipolatas so we had 8 to use up. I get a bit paranoid on use by dates so we had them today with new potatoes,cauliflower and chantonay carrots and onion done in the oven with the chipolatas .

Had a cheese sauce over the veg and it was bloody gorgeous .

Washed it down with a bottle of Merlot between us :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

well im hoping the old folk are knocking up a roast with all the trimmings,


after we took the dog out in the cold that is :-(

You on a diet BC?

Yeah, right John! ;-)

I keep threatening to make a steak and kidney pie........just like my muvver used to make.

Anything that tickles the ribs sounds good to me Wend. :-D

I'm going over to my allotment soon and a fellow plotter is going to be there with a flask of soup to share with me (pumpkin, butternut squash, carrot, onions, garlic and sweet potato.)

That should be a rib-tickler - nom nom! :-D

Steak & kidney pie with mashed potatoes & cabbage followed by lemon cheesecake ;-)
