    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Good Luck. I hope you enjoy it.

    Let us know how it goes, with pictures, we have the before lets see the after. :D


    ps Don't forget to do mash potato. Its better mashed with no butter and milk for stew.

    I don't think I'll need the mash - should be enough for one, I reckon! :D

    It's Mrs EE! And maybe, when it comes to cleaning up afterwards. ;)

    Well, I'm going for the overnight cook, and then I can stick it on again tomorrow when I'm ready.

    It looked like this just before I put it on:

    It took just over 1½ pints of stock (with Oxo! :j ) to get the liquid level that high...I hope it's enough? Two Oxo cubes coz it said on the box 1 cube for ⅓ pint of stock, but that seemed a lot? The beef has been coated in my own personal seasoned flour (I chucked a bit of black pepper and a pinch of salt in :cool: ) and browned (well, it went brown :confused: ) with the onions (I deglazed the pan too, apparently :p ). I've some seasoned flour and a little stock left - :idea: I save those for thickening it at the end, right? ;)

    How am I doing so far? :whistle: :D

    :If I chuck the above into the SC, turn it on low and go to work, I can't see how it gets to be stew. At what point does someone pop round and add the gravy?

    THis thread is hilarious! It deserves an award!!!
