Â* Just got it all assembled into the slow cooker , timed for dinner
around 6:30 or so . Got a dozen rolls in the muffin tin thawing/rising
to go with the soup . What's in the soup you say ? One KC strip steak
because I was out of stew meat and had a single in the freezer . Taters
, carrots , mushrooms , dried onions (they impart a unique flavor)a
stalk of fresh celery , one can beef broth , salt , garlic powder , bay
leaf , a quart of (home grown/canned) tomatoes , and a dash of red wine
- after it was used to deglaze the CI skillet I browned the meat in .
And last but not least , a handful of barley .

Sounds good! I think I will make beef stew tomorrow. Also corn muffins. Need
to use up the cornmeal and flour.

Â* It was very good , and it'll be even better today ... the only glitch
was the timing of the rolls , they were ready an hour ahead of target
time . Next time I'll know it takes around 3 1/2 hours for them to
thaw/rise/and bake . I'm going to start making an extra batch of dough
when I bake and freeze it in 50g lumps for rolls . Nothing quite beats a
fresh-baked roll with dinner ...

I'm with you there. And slathered with semi-hard real butter so
you have a few chunks on them. yum!

Because, or just because you wanted to buy something... anything?
I've can't imagine a situation where I would feel I needed to use up
flour or cornmeal. Lasts a long time and is dirt cheap.
