Dinner tonight

Yesterday we picked up a couple of short ribs for a meal and I am just about to start preparing this.  I am going to dry fry the ribs in a pan in some seasoned flour and then add them to a trilogy of carrot, onion and celery in the slow cooker.  I have a bottle of beer that is also going in together with some salt and pepper and garlic and a little stock and hopefully we will end up with a delicious supper to be served simply with mashed potato.  I have just ordered a sack of potatoes for tomorrow £12.50!  Same time last year £7 and they reckon it is going to get worse.  Watch the prices in the supermarket and work out how much it will cost you to buy loose or in a small bag compared to a sack!  I need the potatoes as they always provide a meal with eggs, bacon, cheese and onion and milk as staples and get very jittery if I don't have the same inhouse as it were.  You can prepare all sorts with the humble potato to keep the wolf from the door with the barest other ingredients.

Right coffee break over off we go again.

Catch you soon.
