What did you eat or cook today (December 2024)?

Okay I had to unhinge my jaws today (turkey, roast beef, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese with extra meat). I am probably going to either eat a very small bowl of soup later or nothing at all.

Wow, that’s not messing about is it!

Local butcher’s natural casing mustard dog, roasted cabbage, and buttered spaetzle.


Here’s what natural light this time of year looks in my kitchen:

Mr SSOAP wanted ribs so picked some up when he was out yesterday.
Not a great pic but you get the gist.
Did an Asian style soy glaze because it beats BBQ flavour every time!

What a palaver though. Put the slow cooker on at midnight and went to bed.
About an hour later I could smell the stock, garlic and ginger they were cooking in wafting up the stairs.
That’s way too fast to smell something cooking on low when everything went in cold.
Then I remembered the slow cooker here’s low setting is very high.
But now it’s after 1am and I have plans the next day so want the ribs ready in the morning and don’t want to be messing around with ribs in the early hours.

Trudge downstairs, add a significant amount of boiled water to stop them drying out on this fierce setting, semi wrote them off and went back to bed.
This morning all that water was gone and the stock was a thick sauce.
Surprised it turned out ok. Won’t be using it overnight again. Bring on the Instant Pot!
