Roast Lamb in The Slow Cooker

A few years ago, a friend told be about cooking Roast Lamb in the slow cooker,

I am converted,

there is no mess,

in the heat of summer there is no need to have the oven on,

and it is soooo easy.

Just put your meat into the slow cooker,

place a couple of sprigs of Rosemary on top

turn on the slow cooker - thats it.

I put it on about 11:30am on high for a 6pm dinner or,

at  8am on low for a 6:00 dinner

I like to use Two Tooth (if you can find it) you may know it as Mutton

The meat is sooo tender

Everyone love's it

Happy Boy's means Happy Mum

I should really use my slow cooker for more meals.

Have you got a great slow cooker recipe to share?

Have a great weekend

Jacqueline.

We Love Corn!

We love corn at our house,

you might call us

Cornnoisseur's

The First Born grew our crop this year.

It was part of his Cub program,

He grew them from seed,

and looked after them every day

Then early one January morning,

They were finally ready to harvest

By 3 little exited Pyjama clad boy's.

Perfect Corn.

It is the best corn that our veggie patch has ever produced.

So, so soooo sweet and juicy

I think the First Born will be Corn Captain every year.

Most has been blanched, and stored in the freezer,

and, some has been shared with friends.

Do you grow corn,

how did your crop go this year?

Have a nice week

Who Loves Bacon!

I spotted this pic on Angela's Facebook feed,

she made this Bacon Bouquet for her hubby. 

Angela is from Canada, and way back in, I think it was 1990,

she was an exchange student with our family.

Anyway, thought I would share it,

seeing as it's Valentines Day tomorrow

If you would like to make your own,

here's a tutorial I found

you may get a chuckle from it.

See you later
