It's basically just veges fried up together - this is the recipe I used. http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/recipes/show/23<BR/><BR/>This is the first time I've planted garlic but yeah, that's how it seems to work. I got a bulb from the organic food shop, split it up into cloves and planted it pointy end up. Hopefully it will work!<BR/>This blog that I read describes how to do it better than I can :) http://patveretto.com/blog/2008/05/grow-garlic-on-windowsill.htmlKezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915193876879614644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28905643.post-85326833483799132142008-05-22T01:21:00.000+10:002008-05-22T01:21:00.000+10:00Kez, Maybe I'm just a dumb USer but what is Bubble...Kez, Maybe I'm just a dumb USer but what is Bubbles and Squeak? Sounds like you cooked up your gerbils. LOL<BR/><BR/>And HOW do you grow garlic? Is it as simple as getting a bulb from the grocer and sticking it in the ground? I've been wanting to research this but haven't gotten around to it yet. Any special things I should know...like will it flavor whatever I plant it next to?<BR/><BR/>I love my slow cooker too! <BR/><BR/>Lisa, my old one just died last year...after 14 years, somehow the inner (non-removable) crock actually cracked on the bottom of my Rival. What a MESS! But it was a great product to last that long. Anyway, I have this one now <BR/>http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4012120<BR/>I don't find I like the oblong shape quite as much as the round. And the lid has a rubber gasket around it (my previous ones have only ever been all glass or plastic) that has an odd smell. Even after I've used it many times and washed it many times, I'm still not happy with the weird smell there. Anyway, next time I'll skip the shiny and 'new' features and go with the old name I came to rely on...Rival. (Though I really DO love that most have the removable crocks in them! HUGE bonus!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164102202026440334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28905643.post-90341848037181690222008-05-21T14:14:00.000+10:002008-05-21T14:14:00.000+10:00Lightening - go for it.

Tying the garden post in with Menu Plan Monday gives me a good reminder to do it! <BR/><BR/>Lis & Lisa - the swiss steak was nice. DS complained but he doesn't like tomatoes. Tough! The best thing about it was the fact that I started it before I left at 12, came home after 6pm to a cooked tea!<BR/><BR/>Lisa - mine's a fairly old slow cooker, probably about 10 years old. It's a Sunbeam, has Low & High settings, removable insert. It works well, but to be honest I've only just started using it again. Hubby's not a big "stew" or soup eater so it got a bit limiting. I'm starting to get back into using it now. I'm over cooking what everyone likes, and am cooking what I want lol.Kezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915193876879614644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28905643.post-39335997859950771292008-05-20T21:54:00.000+10:002008-05-20T21:54:00.000+10:00I'm with Lisa - I want to know how the swiss steak...I'm with Lisa - I want to know how the swiss steak turned out...also want some info on your slow cooker - brand, usefulness etc<BR/>I am tagging you for a meme - come and see me for details.
