Slow Cooking
Apr. 24th, 2017 05:37 amMarko and I got up early to prepare a slow cooker meal. Ginger Beef Stew.
It's one we have not done before but so far it looks good.
I highly recommend slow cooker cooking by the way (and it also helps this entry not be merely a deluxe tweet) because:
1) It is a very forgiving cooking style. It is really hard to mess it up, for instance by overcooking. And the recipes can be easily modified, like making ingredient substitutions, without detracting from the end result.
2) You do the bulk of the work at the start of the day, before a long day at work. It is easy to prepare enough for everyone in the household (and a desired amount of leftovers) so everyone can drag themselves home after work and enjoy a home cooked meal without having to do much after work to make it happen.
3) Psychologically it really, really helps to know you have dinner cooking during a long and hard work day. Especially Mondays.
If anyone is interested in recipe recommendations, please let me know.
