Slow cooker problem - help!
Hi all, could I ask a question please, does the meat in a slow cooker need to be fully covered with liquid? as that will require a hell of a lot of water if so, and surely it'll be too watery in that case? I have vegetables lining the bottom of my slow cooker, and wine/worcester sauce/water just about covering the…

Sprouted Seeds??
I know some of you sprout your own seeds - what do you do with them?? I sometimes get a packet of sprouted seeds in my veg box (I've got one now) and I don't like them in stirfries, it's too cold for salads, only thing i could think of was to sprinlke them on top of pancakes as soon as I put them in the pan, IYKWIM.
