Cruddy day. Couldn't be bothered me arse cooking. Went to the supermarket and picked up a whole cooked chicken, a loaf of sourdough, a tub of cheese coleslaw and a bottle of wine, and we had ourselves a picnic in the living room.

Last night: Garlic roasties again, chorizo, chicken and peppers.


Chipotle pasta with chorizo, parmesean, cheddar and mozerella.

Whispered

Potato and chickpea curry. Fresh tomatoes instead of tinned and finished with fresh coriander. Absolutely gorgeous. My husband is working late and I'm currently texting him to see if he will want dinner when he gets in. If he has eaten, I'm having the second portion myself.

Gloomtastic!

Decided to push the boat out tonight......

Do you go on reddit at all? They have a slowcooking subreddit with some good recipe ideas there.

How did you find the coconut in the slow cooker? Ive done a few curries in the slow cooker and any of them with coconut milk ended up splitting and having a big oily layer, not sure what was causing it

I've had the same problem as well. They taste ok after mixing it but it doesn't look very appealing.

Cooking club jambalaya, with crayfish tails and Lidl kabanossi sausage - always a winner!

Had jambalaya here too last night.

Tumbled head-first into a crime against fine dining tonight and my god was it good.

Creamy pasta bake - chicken, bacon, onion, sweetcorn and jalapeños, tossed with pasta in a creamy cajun-style cheese sauce, topped with more cheese, and baked.



Tex-mex/Italy mashup. Unbelievably tasty.

^ Yum!

After owning a tagine for about 6 years, only used it once (considering how much space it takes up in the press), I resurrected it this evening and did a chicken tikka masala. And to think I was contemplating getting rid of it for a rice cooker. Ha.

Tonight we had pasta with smoked bacon, mushrooms and onions. I used a Supervalu brand Napoletana sauce which was nice. Was only 90c so said I'd give it a try.

Had a glazed joint of ham last weekend that kept giving during the week (including the lovely pot of pea soup made by just blitzing frozen peas in the water and veg that the ham was cooked in). Served with lemon scented sweetheart cabbage, champ and parsley sauce.

Bubble and squeak!
Champ, cabbage and ham.
Yummy.

Made some pizza with dough that had been developing in the fridge for a few days. I did three:

1. Cheese, tomato and pickled chillies (Mrs Beer's favourite)
2. Cheese , tomato, roast red pepper, chorizo and olives (pictured)
3. Cheese, tomato, ham (from above ham) and rocket.

Any chance of the dough recipe? Really good homemade dough continues to elude me and it drives me mad.

I havent made dough in a while myself, but if I recall about 250ml of warm/hot water, 500g of flour, a "small" teaspoon of sugar and another of salt, plus a "big" teaspoon of yeast.

I find the exact measures aren't the be all and end all though. Most important is probably go remember to a) have the water a good heat and letting the yeast dissolve properly, b) making sure everything is CONPLETELY mixed, c) beating the absolute sh*te out of the dough for a good 15 mins when needing,and finally d) cooking it right. I have a pizza dish thingy that is) I put it on for the first 10 mins or so, until the dough is firm enough. Then I take it off from that and give it another 15-20 on top if the grill mesh that I would usually put rashers or chicken on... this allows the crust to dehydrate and get crispy and that nice, slightly darker colour. When you leave it cooking on a solid base like a baking sheet or pizza dish, the crust stays pale and almost kind of chewy, even after the rest of the pizza is burned black.

Just my $0.02c.
