ooOOoo that sounds intriguing - where did ya get it?
I know the feeling - I'm often completely brain tired by the evening. I make a meal plan now and order everything on Sunday night to be delivered on Monday. I always make sure there's something frozen that we can bung in the overn, incase I've run out of energy. I'm looking after dad til Sunday so the slow cooker is getting some hammering. Dad loves slow cooker dinners, it took some tinkering to make things that were tasty and not swimming in liquid, but I've nailed it now - I dust the meat in flour, I brown that and the onions before I load it up, I don't put the liquid in so it's level with the top of the veg, I leave about an inch, because invariably the cheap cuts of meat we always use are full of water. I prefer cooking on high for 5 hours rather than medium for 10, there is more depth of flavour, but I can prep it in the morning when my brain still works. I like doing these dinners for dad (who is prone to high blood pressure) because I can use sodium free stock cubes and no other salt and you can't tell. Tonight we had pork, apples, celery, swede and carrot stew with pearled spelt (I can't eat pearled barley I'm intolerant but this is lovely). Two portions left for the freezer. Won't be slow cooking tomorrow but I make an Irish stew for my parents every Thursday. Was supposed to be cooking a Lidl stir fry that mum left for me - the use by date was 18 March. Oh mum.

If you leave it til the afternoon to go in, there's fuck all left.
Bbq mushroom burgers on sourdough baps, with a slice of toasted cheese on top, with wedges and a rocket salad. Would have preferred little gem or iceberg but it's like fucking Russia again in the local Co op
