A squidge too far...

[saxonaxe]

Decided to dig out a Slow Cooker, a present from my Daughter in law who is convinced my lack of cooking skills will be the death of me one day.
Ha! No problem, a veg pack, chopped Tomatoes, little Spuds and Chicken fillets that I've diced up and the magic mix in a packet by Mr Colman...Chucked it all in the pot and in a moment of madness, I found a tube of Garlic Puree in the cupboard. It's been there a while and felt quite hard.....
Take the top off and squeeze...Nothing...squeeze harder...a bit harder...Blurt!! Too late, half a tube in the pot. Never mind I quite like Garlic.
Switched the cooker on and already the place smells like a French Cafe ! All I need is someone smoking Gauloises and playing the Accordian and you could call me Pierre...

OK Pierre, don't forget the Pastis avec un petit l'eau on the side.

Secret of slow cookerology.. don't add too much liquid as it doesn't boil off like a stew or casserole

Ah! Now you tell me...It's bubbling away like the Witches pot in MacBeth...The Garlic smell is really powerful and obviously spreading outside the cottage, because there's 3 dead Vampires outside the back door...

One of my favourite slow cooker meals is chilli but cooked with cheap cuts of steak.

You could always save any excess liquid to make a bowl (or two) of soup stick a fat slice of french bread on top of the bowl cover with cheese, bung under the grill... heaven.

Sounds like a good plan Annie, I'll probably give that a go.

Well, it didn't look too bad and tasted quite good really. Place smells of Garlic a bit though, so I've had nothing but complaints from someone with a grizzly attitude making barefaced rude comments and silly gestures.

I can see Donald is not the only one who's likely to get evicted.
