I have a slow cooker!
And: I have an electric frypan!
And... I have... If i can be bothered packing up my stuff and so on...
Gas cookers downstairs.So now... My wish list includes: Spice / coffee grinder.
I think it will do both if I wash it out well between.
I want to learn to make my own spice blends. Indian cooking... Moroccan cooking... Any people who know how to make tasty vegetarian dishes have my respect! I want to learn how to make spice blends (and I'll go downstairs to use the gas to toast them, and perhaps even to use wine etc to deglaze since while i can soften stuff in the frypan i can't really risk creating a cloud of steam / smoke to set off the fire detector...)
Why not be a gormet? I mean, really... Seems like an interesting hobby... And, well, anyway I F*CK*NG LOVE FOOD! F*CK YEAH! NOM NOM NOM.
I've never had people over for dinner or anything like that (social pressure). But... Would be nice to know I could. Especially since one day I'll actually have more money etc etc etc...
Slow cooker seems to be the perfect opportunity to experiment with spice blends and beans. Chickpeas. Etc. F*ck yeah.
Best christmas present ever... Except for the game on Christmas day which was also best christmas present ever... I... I actually do have some good friends. They play happy puppy games sometimes, because they can't help themselves... But they are good people. Family. They are acquired family for me. Along with all the damned annoying things they do...
But they gave me what I needed / wanted this christmas, which was nice. Because I really have had some sh*t christmases over the years...
Spice blends... Anyone???? Don't tell me where you buy your amazing one (sure we don't have that store over here): Tell me how you make yours... Hopefully.... Grinding... Toasting... Etc.
I love chickpeas btw.
Next up:
Spice grinder (coffee beans, too) - or maybe I will get mortar and pestle
Wooden stiring spoon (only have metal weirdness)
Chopping knife (have a good serrated / vege / paring knife (assuming i don't ruin it in the meantime) - need a good hacker / chopper for root veges) and maybe for hacking chickens into parts to go into slow cooker...
Cheap chopping boards (one for veges one for meat etc etc)and the last 3 seem like a luxury so, whatever...
