and i will add some pearl barley in an couple of hours to bulk it out even further

and will add some dumplings as well

that's all 4 of us fed tonight for i reckon about 75p a head max actually its probably less :T

Lamb breast was a disaster. I forgot I didn't like lamb fat ....... and it was very fatty :-( ..... ah well, live and learn ...

Will have to do a turkey curry of some description at some point as got 2 lots of turkey in the freezer now.

Beef massaman curry tomorrow in the SC, with a sauce which has been in the cupboard for ages. Might put some potatoes in as well.

Just bought some oxtail from the supermarket on a whim, guess I can just braise it in the SC like I would any beef, in a rich gravy, then serve with mash & veg. Do I put it in whole?

I'm using mine for the first time today. I've got a gammon joint and just put it in on it's own, and i'll give it to 5pm to see how it is. Hopefully it will work!!

It will be delicious. Only problem is it gets so tender it falls apart at times. Not that it tastes any different. I find using an electric knife is easier on it.

Brisket in mine today with carrots and onions, will make Sunday dinner and then left over beef for curry and cottage pie later in the week :-)

Shoulder or pork (Mr T's special offer). To be served with salad, garlic bread (M & S reduced to 10p each!) and roasted butternut squash.
