Slow cooked dinner has been served: beef pot roast, with roast spuds and peas and Yorkshire puds, and an awesome gravy
I started out by seasoning the shoulder of beef then browning it really thoroughly all over. While that was going on, I chopped up a carrot, bit of celery, onion, and a few cloves of garlic and chucked them in the slow cooker with a bunch of thyme, a bunch of rosemary, a bay leaf, and a good slug of red wine. Stuck the browned meat on top, closed the lid, and put it on low for eight hours.
By halfway through, lots of liquid had come out of the joint and was blending nicely with all the other stuff. Once it was cooked I hoiked it out and stuck it in the oven with the spuds for ten minutes, just to dry off the outside and re-crisp it slightly, then put it in foil to rest.
Meanwhile, I sieved the liquid and set half of it aside for another day, then made gravy with the rest, reducing it to a little under half of its previous volume in the process.
It all turned out very rich and flavoursomeComment

Tonight's viewing was the rest of the first series (or season, but I reckon the French probably think as we do about such matters) of Spiral, aka Engrenages.
Meanwhile, it's been raining very heavily, with strong winds to boot. It turns out that with the superhearing my hearing aids give me, the back yard has a lot to offer; what with the rain falling on the yard, the gutters leaking or overflowing, the roof of the lean-to against the old stable, and most noticeably the various aspects of the doctor's fire escape shedding overflow, it's a bit like having an avant garde percussion orchestra out there. I popped my head out of the back kitchen window just to listen to it all several times
Goodnight allComment
