We had special guests for dinner last night so after the Saturday sports were done and dusted I got to work...
I recently purchased a pie bird so pie was definitely on the menu. The Ale Pie with beef and beer, topped with puff pastry was a big hit and tasted as good as it looked when it came out of the oven.
While I was preparing and cooking the pie my new slow cooker, affectionately known as 'George' (as it is the George Foreman brand) was cooking a Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding. I have never cooked a dessert in it before but it was delicious and 'George' will definitely be doing dessert again!

Happy weekend!
Yum Kate, this all looks delicious and I bet your special guests were happy! Funny you should mention cooking and Ale and chocolate...this morning for smoko I made chocolate pancakes with a salted Guinness caramel sauce...totally over the top and indulgent but so good. Fruit, rations and some exercise in the garden for the rest of the day I feel!?
ReplyDeleteIt must be ale and chocolate weather! Fruit and rations here too...for the next week possibly!
