Give me your best 5 ingredients or less slow cooker recipes. Packet mixes/jar sauces are acceptable.

Slow roasted Greek lamb turned out amazing, btw.

- Bone in Pork Shoulder
- dry rub: paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic (I'm assuming this counts as one ingredient, use a packet of seasoning if that's cheating)
- 2 onions
-Chicken stock
-misc hot peppers (Chipotle, jalapeños, ghost, whatever you want)

- rub shoulder
- Sear shoulder in pan
- 2 quartered Onions, stock and pepper in pot/on shoulder
- cook until the pork falls off the bone

Make tacos or stew or sandwiches or just eat it straight from the cooker with a fork.

If the pork has a fat cap skin it off and make a big pile of crackling or chicharones.

There's no such thing as "today only" with Kogan. If you browse an item repeatedly, they will send you an email offering it at a lower price.

I ordered their deep pie maker for $40 the other day. I had one of their original pie makers and found the size of those pies annoying - to big for party pies but too small for normal pies.

I think I will go to the trouble of making my own pastry. I can't find a frozen pastry I'm happy with and none of the supermarkets near me sell boxes of pastry mix.

I think you’ll like the deep pie maker. We got one ages back and it is just the right size for pies and mini quiches. I wanted the mini pie maker to make up party pies for my toddler if I make up a batch.

Recipe?

Made some Cornish pasties a few days ago and they were pretty easy and tasty. This morning I realized a) you can make the pastry so easily and b) you can stuff pretty much anything in a Cornish pastry shell. Today is apple, raisin and ginger mix. Tomorrow gonna try to do a hamburger and egg pie. Maybe roast venison and gravy? Curry? Why the gently caress not?

Sweet potato mash with plenty of butter and cheese mixed in, and curried snags with gravy is easy. Half cook the sausages so a little bit of fat renders out and then cut them into bite size pieces. Coat with flour and cook that out a bit. The rendered day should help the flour stick to the sausage. If you don't have enough just add some oil in. Once the flour has been cooked a bit, maybe 3 or 4 minutes, start adding little bits of warm water and stirring to get all the flour incorporated. Keep stirring and adding water till it's at the consistency you want, and then start adding more flavours. I chop up some chillis, use curry powder, paprika, mixed herbs and pepper. A little bit of salt. Maybe some bacon. If I'm feeling healthyish I will add a handful or two if frozen veges.

The news articles have been a bit confusing (deliberately?) by always mentioning the Singapore one (to normalise it?), but even it only had an adoption rate of 20%.

It was the comparisons to Singapore that gave me the impression but it looks like we just don't know yet.

The comparison to Singapore is particularly lol though considering they can be considered a much more compliant population. If they can only get %20 buy in we've got gently caress all chance of anything approaching what's required. Just look at the way the online My Health Record system was received.

You don't even need that. Sour dough starter is just flour and water and time, and that grabs yeast out of the air.

Though that article is old at this point - updated 3 days ago.

:tinfoil: I'd say they'd go for location data - there's a pretty authoritarian/controlling streak in a lot of politicians, and I wouldn't be surprised if they just pass legislation so they can take the data straight from the telco companies since they'll get a very low number of people voluntarily installing the app :tinfoil:

Also, a lot of people I know don't leave bluetooth on as it is/perceived as a battery hog, so they'd have to make leaving bluetooth on compulsory as well if they went down that road.

Nice. Forge for heat treatment and you're set mate!

Here's some of the new stuff we just finished. I'm not a fan of the curly tails, but I think its growing on me (they hang on a rack).

Handle scales are 150 year-old Blakely's Redgum from fence posts we dug up at a pioneer homestead (we stabilised it with resin under vacuum).

The paring knife in this set is a good example of a project for skilled beginners that'd make a buck or two (especially if you modified it into a steak knife and sold them as a set). Need a belt grinder, small DIY forge, a drill press, and the patience to hand sand.

gently caress yeah, not poke it.

I've been trying to develop the laziest soughdough method known to man. So far its down to: bulk up starter, add 2:1 flour:water and salt. Stir with a knife until it's a gross sticky mess. Let it sit for a while, scrape into parchment lined bread tin. Let it sit more. Bake at 400 for an hour. About 4 steps and never need to touch it. Basically denser than usual regular white bread but not bad.

Yesterday I went all out and used my new cast iron bread tin. Added quarter a cut of brown sugar, saltanas, cranberries and apricots. loving great fruit loaf.

My loaf was a bridled success, I think I will follow your general flow for my next loaf.
