Didn't know about the flour trick although, of course, I usually add flour to my softened veggies before the liquid when I make a stew, so I guess I should have figured that one out! ;o)<BR/><BR/>Would be very interested in your SB recipe - I always make a big pot and freeze portions anyway :o) Maybe you could do it as a new blog entry?Messalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973149790071270448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-1138134052254753872006-01-24T20:20:00.000+00:002006-01-24T20:20:00.000+00:00Thanks - as you can see, my taste buds are back!I ...Thanks - as you can see, my taste buds are back!<BR/><BR/>I have a really good cook-book I'm working out of at the moment...<BR/><A HTTP://WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK/EXEC/OBIDOS/ASIN/0600609790/REF=ORD_CART_SHR/202-8268350-4651017?%5FENCODING=UTF8&M=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE HREF="" REL="nofollow"> SLOWCOOKER</A> ... the big secret is a spoon or two of flour mixed in after you've fried the meat (flour+fat+stock= smooth thick gravy/sauce).<BR/><BR/>I can also give you a fab recipe for bolgnaise (my own) if you're interested.
