Finally - Winter has arrived.

[Mom]

Worked that out today, when I went out in shorts, jandals and a tee shirt, and bloody near got frost bit on my toes :rofl: The sun was shining and it was really warm at home. While we were out the "weather" arrived and it was coat time by the time we came to go out to the car :pinch:

However, I am delighted really, I get to cook yummy, slow cooked delights. To show just how long it has been, for tonights dining pleasure I have made devilled sausages, and I hate sausages. It was just the thought of the yumminess that made me do it...

So, out with the crock pot for the next little while.

I know one bloke that will be happiness filled by tonights offering, what floats your boat food wise in winter? I am a bit of a Lamb Skank gal myself.

Soft cock.
Shorts, t-shirt, etc are perfect attire for this time of year and also the coming months.

Lamb in the slow cooker was also the dinner of choice today. Maybe a roasted pumpkin soup during the week.:blip:

open tin, pour into bowl, 2 mins on high walah

open tin, pour into bowl, 2 mins on high walah

Cretin, you use a real pumkin (it provides the bowl that way), 30mins on high will reduce the inside to a soupy consistincy. Just remember to cut a whole in the top.

Also, fuck off you wintery fiend, my bike is almost ready to ride again!

Tex/Mex pot roast. Get oil smoking in frying pan and fry up a lump of cow. Roll it around to seriously sear all over. Get crock pot and and bung in carrots, whole onions, halved potatoes, couple of whole red chilli, paprica and cumin seeds. Put singed cow on top of that lot and pour a couple of cups of the wife's best white wine and a tin of tomatoes over it. Add wine or beer or water so the meat's all but covered. Turn pot on high when you wake up and turn to low as you leave the house.

Dinner time. Give the meat an veg to the kids and keep the lovely thick gravy for yourself, spread on toast.

Pumpkins are dirt cheap at the moment, so get a few to store in the garage for winter use (they'll last for months!).

Chop pumpkin into its natural "wedges" then coat lightly with olive oil. Don't bother removing the outer skin (this peels off easier when roasted). Roast in oven for an hour until nice blackened bits start to appear. Yu can chuck a whole head of garlic in to roast at the same time if desired!

In large pot add a good "glug" of olive oil and add a big chopped onion and a few cloves of garlic.

When both of the above are cooked, chuck them in a food processor and waz them up, then return everything to the pot. Add a generous cup of chicken stock. Add chili flakes for a bit of heat if you want to.
Gentle simmer for 1/2 hr then season and add a cup of cream just before serving.

A nice loaf of bread to go with it!

A whole pumpkin will feed 4 for 2 days!


Fuck. I'm hungry now.

[bosslady]

Mmmmm! Wonder if this would fit in my crock pot.. that's the biggest pot we got

Oh, okay... Blowing a gale here, knocked out a lot of Auckland's power last night, flooding all over the place. Heavy downpours. Typical Autumn weather... :niceone:

Snot a bad place to be. Spent most of the Art Deco weekend just gone in a very loud Hawaiian shirt trying to hit as many ale houses and vineyard cellars as possible. Did quite well.
