Re: Menu Plan

Yeah, re: the menu plan? It went pretty down hill after Tuesday when we RAN OUT OF GAS!! So I pretty well have all of those meals on the menu to still make this week! To fill in the week we enjoyed a night out, and some take-away Thai Frenzy (mm… thai frenzy….) oh, and did I mention that on Wednesday morning when we realised we were out of gas, we still had PEOPLE COMING OVER FOR DINNER THAT NIGHT?! Crazy. They still came, and I conquered the electrical cooking thing!

I did a bit of modifying of Zoey’s risotto in the rice cooker, and also did some pre-cooking at M&D’s. I wasn’t 100% sure how this risotto would turn out, considering when I put in the 1.25L of stock, my rice cooker was full and yeah, it was like twice as much liquid as I normally put in….

But it turned out AMAZINGLY! Like, I will probably never make risotto the regular way again! If anything I put the vegies (pumpkin and sweet potato) in a little too early and they were too squishy, but it was seriously yum anyway! PERFECT rice from this little trick! Have a bit of a try. I used 1 cup of rice and it served 4 people. It was enough for me, and hopefully enough for everyone else too!

Also, on another note, This is a link to an a pretty cool conversion chart for recipes that aren’t designed for the slow cooker. So now you don’t have to wonder how long to cook it for!
