I don't have a slow cooker , I do it the old fashioned way
Light the cooker (Stanley ) put my stew on it , bring it to a boil the move it to the side and let it simmer away all day ! Casseroles , roasts , throw them in oven , would be lost without my cooker

I learned, or relearned, that when I had no electricity my first winter here. I had invested in a gas cooker....Now the slow cooker is gathering dust etc as having the gas on low takes the chill off the dwelling. I use it for boiling water etc too and my ESB bill is almost non existent . would never go back to the slow cooker etc

Might have opened an Easter egg

Archeron

A donut that's about four days old. But it's one of the old fashioned jammy sugary ones so it's still edible as the gallon of jam inside has kep it soft.

Hat tip to the old classic.

Pity there's nowhere to get a decent lasagne here. Homemade always best though.

And garlic bread served out is never garlicy enough for me

igCorcaigh

Oh, it's been so long since I cooked a proper meal for myself.

I'm a cupboard item eater, food is functional.

My OH is The Chef, but he never eats my food.
And he doesn't like eating out.

Tonight will be a mix of things I buy for work lunch, so tuna, potato salad, rocket, peppers, pita bread.

Waiting for iyer's on Saturday.

It's seldom I make it now igCorcaigh , but it was lovely , and I agree about the garlic bread !

I step away for a bit and it's all lasagna and choco bars. I love lasagna but hate making it. I love reheating it though when you can find a decent bit. The catch bar......what can I say? Love it!

I’m after my first attempt at making spinach and ricotta cannelloni and it’s after turning out delish

I love that sense of achievment when you try something new and it turns out great!

Today for dinner I've prepped a tomato sauce using a whole heap of tomatoes a friend grew and dropped over. Added a good bit of fresh basil and the tomatoes to onions garlic and chilli, and a little grated ginger for freshness. Also some dried mixed herbs and a teaspoon of sugar as it was all a little sharp. Stuck it into the blender to make it smooth. Going to reheat it with boiled and diced chicken breast and debating whether to make some fresh pasta or go with shop bought.

Love when I've time to put a bit of love into making the dinner.
