dinner time.

its time to get the sloe cooker out as yet again I am very late with the dinner. Luckily we are a house of adults now. So people are able to snack and wait for me to get in.  Its now 7.55 and we have just finished. tonight it was spag bol with garlic bread.

So next week the stews and slow cooks will start again, that way no one has to wait till 7.30pm.

My favourite slow cooker meals are...

Lamb stew,
Pork stew,
Chicken stew,
Chicken cassolet.
shepherds pie
mince and gravy
chilli con carne

and that's about it.....i have some lovely slow cooker recipe books and the whole WWW, I just keep cooking the same things especially in the slow cooker.

I cook without thinking, I find it really hard to explain timings and quantities. I cook from memory, I know when to put things in and the exact ingredients depend on what is in the cupboard. I am the first to admit, I do not cook everything from scratch. I do get assistance from jar's from time to time. especially for tonights spag bol. fresh onion, mushroom, mince, jar of sauce, linguine, parmasan, and garlic bread.

I start cooking and it all falls into place.

I have a shelf full of recipe books and only use them when I am trying something special or new. Or baking.

So I am going to try to add some variety to my slow cooker meals. watch this space...
