In My Slow Cooker

[Tilly2]

I have a chicken, some lemon juice, a bunch of thyme, olive oil and "$ cloves of garlic.

Mr. Till has just come back from bowls, opened the front door and exclaimed, ' Flippin' eck, that's blowing my flippin' head off!' He didn't say flippin' eck

Do you think I've overdone it?

[craft1948]

So you're nekkid then?

[Tilly2]

Gawd! ^^^^^it should say 24 cloves of garlic.


nekkid, craft? In this weather? Noooooooooooooooooooo!

[B00]

24 cloves of garlic?

You'll have no bother with vampires until the next millennium!

[Tilly2]

I'm preparing for Halloween, Boo.

[humbersloop]

probably by about "£ Tilly ;)

[Tilly2]

Sloopy, that made me laugh!

It was a recipe on Yahoo for using Superfoods. I though I'd try it. The bloke in the film used three whole bulbs. I've only used two.

[humbersloop]

three whole bulbs for teensy chook???!!

...thud

[Tilly2]

Honest. Three whole bulbs.

[humbersloop]

might be a lot less effort to just roast the garlic and waft a chicken stock cube over it at the end?

[Psybbo]

Had that once Tilly, although the chuck was roasted in the oven and I think grapes with the garlic. It was lovely

[Tilly2]

I'm going to pop it in the oven for half an hour to crisp up. I will leave the garlic in the pot and use the stock for some concoction tomorrow.

[humbersloop]

it sounds like you got the makings of a really good garlic soup there then Tilly

[Psybbo]

Tilly, as far as I can remember, the roasted cloves which pierced through the chicken skin were served with it and were delicious

[Tilly2]

We are just having half of the chicken with new potatoes and salad. The garlic chicken stock is now cooling in a bowl.

The other half of the chicken will be thrown in the stock tomorrow and Bob's your uncle.

that should blow away trick-and-treaters as far afield as Exeter.

[boxtops]

you did say 24 cloves of garlic.......?

[Tilly2]

initially, boxy, I said "$ cloves of garlic. Yes, I said 24. It's a lot isn't it?

[jno]

show me a bank, whereon I'll have a wild thyme.

I've just made half an acre of parkin, should be lovely and sticky by next weekend's bonfire get together.
A place in Gib where we used to eat did a brilliant tagine and I got the recipe from the owner. It was soooo garlicky but when I asked him why, it used three heads of garlic, he said as we got very small Moroccan garlics, it needed a lot. However, we'd had a trip round into Spain and got some lovely big garlics which were definitely too much.

[Tilly2]

Jno, you are very Shakespearean today. Have you been to sleep yet?
