You are better buying your own ingredients seperately - that way you know you arent getting raggy bug bitten bits they take off veg before sale

Re: Now i know winter is almost here
The fact I've had to put my fire on and the condensation on the car windscreen, I like winter though especially just coming in out of the cold, fire on, brew and broth/soup.

Re: Now i know winter is almost here
Looking at my garden is the way I can tell Winter's on its way. My pampas grass has about 40 plumes, all white and fluffy, the pyrocanthas are full of red, yellow and orange berries and the virginia creepers are deep blood red. It all looks beautiful now but I know that in a few weeks the pampas plumes will be bedraggled and grey, the birds will have stripped off all the berries and the creepers will be a load of bare twigs on the fences.

What sort of things do you make in it Margaret?

I have a slow cooker that I bought off Amazon when they had them really cheap. I used it a few times last year, but could never get anything really nice out of it. I tend to make stews/broths in a cast iron pot (Le Creuset, expensive but worth every penny) and then either freeze or refrigerate it, to eat over the next few days.

Any slow cooker recipes would be appreciated
