A gourmet meal in my house is often whatever the magic of my slow cooker produces after I've shoved everything in, closed my eyes and prayed to the cooking Gods that I will end up with something at least half edible at the end. It usually works I'm pleased to say.
Half the time I need not worry anyway. Harvey's answer to the nightly question of "what would you like for tea?" with "soup and sausages". Yes, you read that right.
soup and sausages
Random child but apparently not alone!
My cousin's little boy wanted gravy with his salad. That Facebook status had me chuckling away one evening and in her words, "he is pretty adamant you can't have one without the other." He would be a great asset for an ahhhhhhhhh Bisto! advert as he is obviously a huge fan.
Alyssa is obsessed with pickled onions and I physically have to ration the onions else she would eat an entire jar in one sitting. Cabbage is another favourite of hers too. I swear she is a 90-year-old lady in a 6-year-old body.
Come on then Morphy 'the slow cooker' Richards, do your best!
Tonight we are definitely avoiding the washing up as Alyssa is unwell. (Harvey quite possibly would be too if I let him eat whatever he wanted. )
I wouldn't say no to a bowl of Heinz tommy soup with a few hot dogs floating in it!! x
ReplyDeleteI love our slow cooker, they are great time savers. We recently cooked a self saucing pudding in the slow cooker and it was delicious. It's incredible what you can cook in there.
ReplyDeleteLOL I actually think soup and sausages sounds like quite a good combination - not sure about gravy with salad though!
ReplyDeleteI got a slow cooker about a month ago.....rarely used it though!
ReplyDeleteI have a slow cooker but never use it, I really should get it out and try again.
ReplyDeleteMy slow cooker is amazing I love it! Always seems like there is less washing up when I use it.
ReplyDeleteI adore my slow cooker. I love soup and sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteSalad and gravy had me laughing in my brew! I love my slow cooker but find sometimes there is the same amount of pots because of all the prep, definitely worth it in the end though.
ReplyDeleteI love my slow cooker, but not so sure about gravy and salad. But you can't beat a bowl of soup sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a warm bowl of soup, not too sure about the sausages though! xxx

ReplyDeleteI love our slow cooker - the only problem is the kids hate any sort of stew I cook in it!
ReplyDeleteLove my slow cooker! Saves me so much time!
ReplyDeleteI would love a slow cooker...I really must invest in one soon...maybe next winter as they seem particularly good for warming winter foods!
ReplyDeleteI actually made a sausage soup for my son at his request. It was basically a runny casserole but he loved it!
ReplyDeleteGreat news that he loved it. I may have to try now then. :)
DeleteThis would be awesome... but with Hayden's allergies I simply can't but for myself ... ohhh yeah! HAHA
