Pork Bellies Tonight Crock Pot Tomorrow NIght
August 29th 2009 06:53
I love it when it's pork bellies for tea! Why? Because bellies are yummy and pork bellies are what my husband cooks, not me!
Graham is getting ready to boil the pork, then he will cook it somehow with various things, then more things happen, rice is involved and then we dine sumptuously. The reason I don't know the details is because I am happy to give way to Graham when he wants to cook something, and I only get involved when it is time to serve up the food.
I know which recipe he uses, so I know I could cook it myself, but why worry about that. If someone else wants to cook, well, every now and then, that is great. I know that tomorrow night, it's my turn to cook again, and the night after, and so on and so on.
Tomorrow night we are having slow cooked lamb roast for tea. I think. I know it's lamb, and I think it will be cooked in our crock pot. The only issue is that the crock pot hasn't been used for many years, and I don't know yet if it still works.
I currently have the crock pot full of water and in Fast Cook mode. I don't have a food thermometer, so it will be a case of fingers crossed nd hope for the best to some extent tomorrow. But if the water in the crock pot isn't much hotter when I check it in an hour or so, than what is was when I put it in, then the crock pot is a no starter and we'll have to ditch it.
I hope it is hot though. With my new role as a student, that crock pot could end up being a life saver. If the water is hot, I still think getting a food thermometer is a good idea. I'll check out prices tomorrow and get one if I can afford it.
Fingers crossed on many counts - tea tonight will be good, hope tomorrow will be great, and the thermometer could be a health saver. Food kept at cool/warm for too long is loved by bacteria. We don't want food poisoning, that's for sure.
