As the winter weather is now officially here in the Land of Oz (you know I never actually call Australia that!) everyone at work has been talking about what warm and hearty things they have been making for dinner.
The discussions then led to slow cookers and how wonderful they are. When I mentioned that I didn't have one everyone looked at me like I was some kind of alien saying
''OH MY GOD you don't have a slow cooker''
... well no... no I don't...
UNTIL NOW!
Last night I dragged hubby and child out into the cold to get me a slow cooker and here is my purchase... let me introduce you to the Ronson 6L RSC100 ! Ahhh isn't she purdy!
As I knew I was parting with my cash that evening, during the day I printed off some recipes so I could buy the ingredients and make something that night.
One of the recipes I chose was Carrot, Kumara and Ginger Soup
Anyone know what a Kumara is?
It's a sweet potato but last night whilst shopping for ingredients to make carrot, kumara and ginger soup not only could I not find one but had no idea what it was...
which yes made it rather hard to find...der.
Stupid little me should have searched it on good old Google so that tonight I would be eating some yummy soup instead of cooking pork and vegies for dinner.
I also bought all the ingredients to make this:
Asian beef and vegetable casserole
but I needed brandy and can you believe the bottle shop was all out of brandy...I could have bought a big bottle but that would just be asking for trouble!
I'll let you know how the recipes go...
