Agreed the food looks yummy.

EmeraldSue your rolls look lovely too. Though I found calling them biscuits puzzling.

Thanks Rob - you are right as there are no biscuits in the photo as most of them got eaten by the kids ;D

Please can you post the recipe Courton?
Am slow cooking beef today. Will have with garden veggies, yum.
Dug out brand new slow cooker from soaping equipment, which was all packed up in August last year. Handy we had it as two rings is a bit limiting and there's not much work top space either.
Will brown meat in pan, and do onions and gravy in  *:

It is somewhere in this forum. Couldn't find it but here is my copy.


Balsamic Tomato Lamb

1 leg of lamb, well trimmed of any fat
1/2 cup of semi dried tomatoes (97% fat free ones, from the deli)
3-4 cloves of garlic
1-2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze

Whizz up all the stuff except the lamb in the thermy until a rough paste is formed. You could add any fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the mix as well. Cut a few slits all over the lamb and then proceed to give it a good massage with the paste, poking as much paste into the holes as you can. Add about 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the lamb and all the paste. Cook until the lamb is falling off the bone ~ about 6-8 hours on low. The paste and water will combine with the lamb juices to make a delicious jus. Rest the lamb before carving and eating. Serve on top of some couscous with a spinach salad on the side. It also tastes great the next day with spinach, beetroot and tzatziki in a wrap.

Tried out my new dutch pancake maker from Aldi.  Burnt the first lot and had to throw them out.  Second lot a little better.  The temperature on the machine doesn't cut out so there is only one temp and that is hot and hotter. :o

Made some of Tenina's Va Va Voom Strawberry Jam today.  OMG - I think it's one of the best jams I've made
