Busy day, I stuck a joint in the slowcooker, withvegies and stock, hubby walked in and turned his nose up at ‘stew” , when I dished it up it was like pulled pork, it flakes on the fork, and it tasted and smelled magnificent! The nose went theother way!
Cooked stroganoff in it on Saturday, it was also magnificent! _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |

When I saw you say you stuck a Joint in the slow cooker, I thought you were pinching some of Skids recipes.
I really struggle to tone down the amount of food I cook, I'm used to cooking for 4-5 each meal. Fine when I had kids here and even the dog, and I'm used to taking leftovers to work for lunch but mum eats far call, no dog and despite getting more exercise in I cant afford to keep doing this.
So tonight I've done a vegetarian meal. Curried Sausages, loaded with veges (cleaned out the crisper) and cooking enough for 6 people. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

cleaned out the crisper again and made a vege soup. Added beans and lentils and hit it with the stick blender at the end.
But tonights dinner is Swedish Meatballs. Using this as a guide. https://therecipecritic.com/the-best-swedish-meatballs/
Mate the meatballs earlier, cooked em off, ready to make the sauce. Gonna serve with mashed spuds and some steamed greens. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

We always buy our bread at the local bakery. It's one of only two shops in the town (well, one really, the other is a weird restaurant that specialises in $20 hamburgers) and they'be been baking organic wholemeal sourdough bread in wood-fired ovens for decades. They sell bread to shops all over this half of southern Tasmania, but they just happen to be located in our nearest town.
They make the best bread I have ever eaten (equalled only by the similar bakery in Trentham in central-west Victoria). Sadly, they have taken to also selling assorted other baked items (pies, sweets, and so on) which are good but very dear, and coffee for the twee set. They went take-away only for the lockdown, of course, and the stupid twee set keept clogging up the place buying takeaway bloody coffee. It was taking forever just to buy bread. Drove me nuts!
So these last few weeks I've been doing this instead -
That was Saturday's loaf, multi-grain wholemeal. This, along with various incarnations of wholemeal ciabatta, has become our mainstay. Today, just for a change, I did an orthodox white loaf with poppy seeds. Well, almost white, I still added 35% by weight wholemeal to give it some body. Looks white though. Yum!
OK, baking it yourself it takes even longer than the queue outside the damn bakery, but we are enjoying both parts of it - the cooking and the eating. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives!

I can't see the photo, it's not loading, but good stuff baking your own. I've got the Breville Bread machine I break out sometimes, nothing like fresh hot bread. Yum.
With the coffee twats who can't survive without their luke warm store bought crappacino or whatever dodgy thing they drink, I'd shed not a tear if they all dropped dead tomorrow.
Jo, get takeaway. Pizza for dinner, everyone's invited to TP's place. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

You're the IT dude, don't ask me.
If it's any help, I did the right click "open image in another tab" and got an error message

You had better try the home page. |
The home page opens fine, the most recent photo in recent updates is a platypus. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I'd personally use the slow cooker over the breadmaker, the little spinny dough mixer thing makes a mess with a whole carcass _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

OK, if you're putting shark fins in slow cooked Platypus Stew you're really going Asian Australian fusion cooking to a new extreme.
BTW Tannin, the pic now works, nice bread. Did you use a bread tin or just dough on a tray? _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

We are laughing at you guys here.
Just on a tray, Stui. I mostly just go on a tray, but used a tin for today's loaf.
I didn't eat as much dinner as usual tonight. Possibly because while I was cooking it, I kept cutting just one more slice of today's still-just-slightly-warm bread and spreading butter and Vegemite on it.
(I figured out the image thing, by the way. Side effect of a server system "upgrade" my hosting company did without telling me. Grrr!) _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |
