Anyway, your sig made me laugh. If you change it, keep us smiling, eh?

No problem - I have quite a few to choose from.

I'm confined to the house thanks to my son I was really looking forward to this week and now I can't do any of the things I planned. I haven't even got any housework to do as he has to do it all as a punishment.

I can't wait for him to go back to school next week so I can get the place looking like it is supposed to.

If he ever gets excluded from school again I will be locking him in the cellar for the week

If it helps - I do not have a garden either - I have what I call a "patio" - Oh alright then its a yard!!!!

But it does have some green stuff in pots and a bench so I can sit outside (if I could ever drag myself away from this site.)

Even something like that would be sheer paradise to me right now!!!

My only external door (at the bottom of a staircase) opens straight out onto a busy street full of 'orrible, scary people :eek:

The only fresh air I get (if you can call it fresh with traffic pollution :rolleyes: ) is if there happens to be a breeze blowing in an open window, and then I have to suffer the high levels of street noise (or the cats attempting suicide!!!) if I open the windows more than a few inches

2 ozs stuffed green olives
15 ozs can ratatouille (could be leftovers)
8 ozs minced beef
8 ozs pork sausagemeat
3 slices white bread (soaked in water and then squeezed dry)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
salt and pepper (to taste)

Method - Distribute the olives evenly over the base of a greased 1 lb loaf tin and then cover with half ratatouille spreading it evenly. Mix beef and sausagemeat together in bowl. Mash bread with fork and add to meat mixture together with parsley. Season and add remaining ratatouille. Mix well, put into loaf tin, smooth top and cover with piece of greased foil. Place tin in slow cooker and pour in sufficient boiling water to come halfway up sides of tin. Cover and cook on High for 30 mins and then turn to Low for a further 5-6 hours (or on auto should be ok) Run knife round sides of meat loaf and turn out on to a serving dish. Serve with creamed potatoes.

I have taken this from my old Mary Berry 'One Pot Cooking' book. All her recipes are good.

Well, I didn't use the Mary Berry recipe I used my own, but I followed the instructions to cover with foil, add boiling water etc. I'm pleased to say the meatloaf was lovely

If anyone else tries this, you really do need to put foil over the top of the loaf tin. Water drips off the lid of the slowcooker and you don't want watery meatloaf

Any ideas please, hubby been but on a plain diet for health reasons. Finding it hard to use my slow cooker now.

He can`t eat fat, red meat, oinons,tomatos or any thing spicy.

So abit stuck, as our normal curry, stews, chillis etc are out

What about chicken and mushrooms in a creamy sauce with rice/pasta?

swizzlebabe

I don`t like mushrooms and creamy sauce is out because of fat, but thanks.

Ham in coke sounds nice but fizzy is out and Ham is red meat?

back to fish in parsley sauce, mash and peas!

Today I cooked liver in my slow cooker for the first time and it tasted delicious (thanks for the recipe idea Squeaky ). However, is it just me or is the smell of liver cooking horrendous? :eek: My whole house smells of it so I don't think I'll be trying it again no matter how tasty it is!
