    Not sure if its everywhere or just here in SA, but there seems to be loads of very cheap duck selling in my local butchers shops........so, whilst it is years since I cooked duck, I have bought a bird & we are having roast duck tomorrow night..............with roast potatoes, steamed carrots and homegrown peas and roasted homegrown beetroot!

    OMG Lucy that sounds divine

    I think it must be in SA... haven't noticed Duck anywhere here

    I made your Lemon & garlic chicken in the slow cooker last night... was lovely

    DH wants something with beef in it tonight... so off to look in the Slow Cooker recipe thread for night #3 in a row!!!!

    ETA Cai... when you have a spare sec... would LOVE the recipe for the spring roll mix the Thai lady gave you (if its not a secret recipe that you had to promise not to give out )

    Tonight I'm going to try Cai's marinated plum pork ribs in the slow cooker.... hhmmm

    Have to teach until 7pm so it had to be something I can put on and leave... we'll have it with the Tilda rice that you put in the microwave - have you guys tried it, its yummo

    Have tried some of the other brands and they're average, but the Tilda one is really good.

    Hhmm, Cai - If you see this in time ... is the recipe in the slow cooker recipe thread for 1kg ribs? I'll just do 1kg and if it looks too much I'll improvise

    Change of plans!!!

    DH came with me to the butcher and saw the beef ribs were on sale, so we're having them instead! (will have to do the pork ones next week some time )

    So, here's the recipe for the ribs I've done - they've been in the slow cooker now since 2pm and are looking and smelling fabulous
    (Easiest recipe in the world!!!)


    BBQ BEEF RIBS IN RICH BBQ SAUCE

    1.5kgs beef ribs (I got a little over 2kgs)
    2 medium onions diced
    15mL soy sauce
    1 cup BBQ sauce
    2 Tbsp white vinegar
    2 Tbsp sugar
    Salt/Pepper to taste

    Mix all ingredients except ribs and onion in a bowl.
    Place ribs & onion in slow cooker and stir onion through.
    Pour sauce mix through.

    Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hrs or on high for 4-5 hrs.
    ( I doubled the ingredients to make twice the amount of sauce... DH likes them thick and sticky ... they should be good by the time he finally gets to eat them, which will be around midnight tonight !!!)

    It says you can fry the ribs in a pan first if you wish to, but I didn't bother

    Will let you know how it turns out... but its looking and smelling fantastic so far

    Well I've already made chicken satay stir-fry (YUM YUM!) and will make fried rice later on and we'll have leftover spring rolls from last weekend (dinner went out the window and we ended up freezing the rolls and not even having rice!) Was supposed to be G-Day (god parents day whom are vegetarian) and I was going to do all this veggie style but the kids godmumma is sick so we went the meat alternative I was going to make hokey pokey ice cream but after 3 attempts to make hokey pokey without burning it I've given up for today. I found a good recipe on da toobz so I might try that tomorrow and freeze for the following weekend.
