cooking the filling for one of my absolute favourites... Steak Pie...
a huge pot of mince and veggies for one of my favourite winter warmers...Mince Tatties & Skirlie... (translation required perhaps....Skirlie is like stuffing but made in a pan with oatmeal...chopped onion...dripping or oil and lots of salt and pepper)
and last but not least...when I fancy a bit of Mexican spiciness...a massive pot of chilli...
While all the pots were simmering away...we managed to sneak back to the cubbyhole for a little play...I'll see you all tomorrow to share some Hero Arts Christmas Clean & Simple Cards
Hugs Kath xxx
Hi Kath, we have frost here today, first of the year but at least the sun is shining - makes so much difference. All the prep is worthwhile - not sure was skirlie is, but loving the look of your winter warming dishes. Crafty hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, your pots of food looks so tempting, perfect for a cold wintry day allthough it doesn't seem too bad today. Have a good day you'll get back to the crafting now.
ReplyDeleteMmmm ... all look delicious. Excuse my southern ignorance, but what is skirlie? Sunny but very cold here today, you might just have inspired me to get my freezer filled with some warming winter dishes. WendY x
ReplyDeleteI love a day of batch cooking...the filled freezer draws are as satisfying as any prepped and kitted workshop!
ReplyDeleteMmmm .... yum! What time would you like me for tea? xx
ReplyDeleteKath, you beat me too it. That's what I'm doing to-day as I have family coming for a week, they arrive to-morrow. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteps, could you share your Skirlie recipe please. xx
Mmmm I'm drooling now Kath x
ReplyDeleteIt all looks scrummy and is making me hungry!
ReplyDeletethat's one intriguing kitchen gadget - never seen one of those before. Thanks for translating - I can do the French cuisine lingo (professionally trained in my youth) but this looks intriguing.

I don't think I've seen this gadget for cutting neeps. Anything that can cut through them is a must have. Where can I find one? I usually end up cutting chunky slices off but it's hard work and turnip's my daughters fav' veggie too. My belly's rumbling now after seeing all those lovely pots on the go, good job we can't smell them too, I'd be drooling like a retriever.lol
ReplyDelete...oh Kath I can almost smell those gorgeous dishes through the screen, how delicious everything looks, your home must of smelt divine...Melx :)
ReplyDeleteWe call them swede in the south.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of all those meals, even though Im in bed with a sick bug.....lol
Hi Kath, What can one say Yum! Yum! and Yum again
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, What can one say Yum! Yum! and Yum again
ReplyDeleteMade to make the mouth water lol! hugs Karen
ReplyDeleteO my.. I'm drooling Kath... lots of yummy food... Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteBeen a bit changeable today Kath. Hubby was lucky to get the dogs out for a big walk this afternoon without getting wet!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I've not long had my tea. Saves me drooling over my laptop at your pots of food lol!
Kat xx
looks delish!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kath wish I had been in your kitchen I bet the smell was great. You always make me hungry when I see your cooking. Hugs x ChrisB
ReplyDeleteIn my neck of the woods it's called a swede! Tastes just the same though - great!

I've been doing a bit of batch cooking too int he last week as it got so cold here in Michigan. I made my absolute favourite winter warmer... leek and potato soup, yummy. I'm partial to neeps too, and as I'm originally from Durham and my husband is from Cambridge we always have that swede versus turnip discussion!! To settle matters, we both call them neeps!
