Thank you all for your welcomes!
Hehe Judydawn, my type of cooking is to close my eyes, open the cupboards and see what happens. Still, the disasters are usually fairly interesting too
Thanks for the thought Kimmyh. The EDC is not available here, I had the choice of Full Steam Ahead and the Community recipes one. I went for that one as it will cover the whole TM, not just the Varoma. I think the EDC recipes are online, just got to find them, but it seems most have been tested and tweaks noted on here.
I think the first effort will be leftovers soup. Broccoli, cauliflower, cheese and anything else that comes to hand. At least if I get it wrong, I can chuck it under the grill and have veg au gratin.
If nothing else, the dawg is looking forward to my inevitable disasters
OK, I am off to prepare the sofa for a couple of hours of manual reading after Sid arrives (hopefully today).
Thanks again for the kind welcomes.
