I started a vegetable stew in the slow cooker today and will see how it comes out tomorrow. I didn’t use a proper recipe and just threw a bunch of stuff into the pot before starting. I think I didn’t add enough water, which may be a bit of a throwback to making stew in the pressure cooker so many times. I have remedied the liquid now so hopefully this will make the cooking process a bit better. It probably isn’t ideal blindly throwing stuff together but I am sure it will come out fine in the end.

I’m not quite sure it’s cold enough for stew right now but it has cooled off just a bit from what it was a couple days ago. Tonight is certainly chillier than last night but still not really cold.

Meanwhile, I am still working on day five of my holiday. I ended up going ahead and doing all the photos for the previous day. They are now uploaded but I still have some details to add to them before releasing them to the public. I also just discovered I had a $5 note from New Zealand still hidden in my wallet from my trip. I thought I’d cleared that out long ago but had gone looking for some cash a couple days ago and found that instead. Not that it is much use now. I will add it to my mug holding bits and pieces of foreign cash. I have US, Canadian and New Zealand dollars plus various change in there, waiting to be used next time I travel to whichever place.
