Bit late today 'cos I've been getting a chicken curry ready to go in the slow cooker first thing tomorrow morning...it's a proper curry with root ginger and turmeric and coconut milk such like...
The idea behind the slow cooker was that Himself could cook his meals without faffing about prodding ingredients to see if they're cooked or not...he's awful with potatoes...won't leave the poor things to boil in peace...keeps poking them with a sharp knife.
I'm having tuna and pasta and a salad...one of those mixed salad bowls from Tesco's which are excellent value for money...
Put some smoked haddock in the freezer for another supper after finding a good recipe for a chowder...the only problem with the slow cooker is the dearth of vegetarian recipes... the ones I've found so far have relied heavily on aubergines and I don't care for them...
There's some frog-spawn in the ditch down our road...I've been debating what I could use to put some in until they become little frogs...we had some last year in our ditch which were doing famously until they all suddenly disappeared overnight...I blamed the herons, they'll eat froglets and tadpoles of course.
Frogspawn always reminds me of the nature table at primary school when we'd collect jam-jars full and feed the emerging tadpoles with bits of raw beef suspended on a string...then we'd put them into an old aquarium, until the little frogs had grown a bit before releasing them near the village pond...
We no longer have an aquarium, so I might be reduced to using a plastic bucket...don't suppose the tadpoles are too picky about where they live...
I know I haven't replied to your comments about the cottages...hope you don't mind too much if I leave that 'til tomorrow 'cos my eyes are beginning to whirl round with tiredness...
Himself Is Cooking The Supper
feeling tired and fed up
