Slow cooked dinner update
The chicken casserole was absolutely delicious. As predicted the meat just fell off the bone and was so tender and succulent.......
Small Dog had a small chicken drumstick with her dog biscuits and barely even left the pattern on her dish, so we reckon that's a firm 'paws up' from her.
We've cut up the rest of the chicken with the intention of making a chicken and vegetable soup tomorrow. I'm planning to use potatoes, parsnips, swede, carrots and onion, garlic and herbs to make the soup (also in the slow cooker), adding the already cooked chicken in the last half hour of cooking. Served with crusty bread and a glass of chilled white wine I think it should be just the thing for a cold October evening meal.
I am now a complete convert to the ethos of slow cooking and will be shopping for some stewing beef later this week to have a go at Beef in Ale. Another comfort-food winter warmer.
Beats thermal underwear hands down.....

You make me drool on the keyboard. We had pumpkin soup seasoned with curry and onion and thime tart. Other food warmers Rosanna
I seem to have inadvertently touched upon a universal longing for 'comfort food' as we head into winter.
Your pumpkin soup and onion and thyme tart sound wonderful too.
I have recently purchased a 'slow cooker' and trying out new recipes. I now need to purchase an SC recipe book as the one that came with it is a little limited!
