What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Harry Genshaw]

Wandered into Tesco this morning with a view to buying one of their slow cookers I'd seen last week. Lo and behold they had crock pots in there at half price. Chilli has been cooking 7 hours now and the house smells great!

slow cookers are fecking ace!

A pm is winging on its way to Bruce for his 3 bean chilli recipe. Any other recipes would be greatly received

Received your PM thanks, Harry, but I'll put the recipe on here for all (I thought I'd posted it up before)

Last time I made it I chucked a load of Kale in with it too (Cheers Bish) which, if you like dark greens, works an absolute treat.

Cheers Bruce That's next Saturdays tea sorted

New one for me tonight - am making Maple-glazed butternut squash with garlic and ginger in the slow-cooker...

it isn't the kind of thing I'd normally cook - so will report later... (I can report, though, that the garlic and ginger roasting through the butternut is making a pretty mouth-watering aroma through the house...)

Banana mostly.

Went to the local street market and picked up a bag for £1 ... there are 17 of the beggars in there. Medium sized, Being market they'll be black by next week so need using. I see toffee banana with sesame seed comig on, for a couple of them but what else ?

Seville orange cake. Sweet Gewürztraminer - also from Chile (lovely!).

Just having a little Old Pulteney as a digestif.

Banana tarte tatin

Or slice them and roast with lime and honey, goes well with coconut ice cream.

it's not a question that can be answered generally! In the UK we tend to do recipes by weight - in the US they have this universal "cup" and do it by volume. Best thing is, I think, to buy a set of cup measures - full/half/third/quarter.. it makes life a lot easier...

a cup of onion is about one big onion! (near as makes no odds!)

Indeed. And to be honest, Harry, the only ingredient that you can actually over-do is the fresh chilli.

there's a handy cup to grams tool here for various frequently used ingredients...

[bobo the clown]

what ARE the 'gram' things then ? Is it another word for 'ounce' ???

aye! I couldn't find an oz one - though that's what I searched for!

I know decimalisation has been around for a while - but I still have NO IDEA at all what a grams weight for anything actually means!
