Well my Mum bought me a slower cooker - well she actually bought herself a second slow cooker but decided to give it to me! I did discover another slow cooker she had given me, a long time ago, in my cupboard, so now I have two slow cookers! <br />
<br />
Thanks to some wonderful links provided by our likers on the Facebook page, I found a few fantastic recipes to try out. One was for Beef Ragu (which by the way, I have never tried before). I have a problem with following recipes. I am not sure why, but I do! I generally read a recipe, get the general gist and then change it slightly or never bother with measurements. I am definitely not a measuring kind of cook. So anyway, here is my version the a Beef Ragu cooked in a slow cooker. It tasted so fantastic and hubby even said I was the best cook in the world! Did I mention, I love my slow cooker? <br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beef Ragu (Slower Cooker Style)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Approx. 2kg beef roast (I used blade roast with all fat trimmed off)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6 tablespoons of tomato paste (or a little more if you like)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 teaspoons of dried Oregano</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 Bay Leaves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Salt and Pepper to taste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beef Stock (I used 3 cubes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Red Wine (approx. half a cup)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Water (approx. 2 cups)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mushrooms</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Carrot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 large Onion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Balsamic Vinegar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the bottom of your slow cooker, place tomato paste, roughly chopped onion, carrot and mushrooms (amount as desired). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then add the roast (cut in half). Now pour over wine, water, stock, bay leaves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turn cooker on high for approx. 5 hours or until meat can be easily pulled apart with two forks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once your meat is tender, take it out of the slow cooker and pull apart with two forks, and then place back into the liquid in the slow cooker. Add approx. 2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar or to taste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also add a generous amount of Parmesan Cheese at this stage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continue to cook, uncovered for approx. 20 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Serve over pasta with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think this could be equally enjoyed with rice or a lovely creamy mash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy!!</div>

<div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #63391e; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-center;">
<span style="font-family: Century Gothic;">We have now been online for almost 10 years and have decided to follow our hearts and what we practise as a family - we are now going fully organic, upcycled and vintage! </span></div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #63391e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #63391e; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-center;"><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We will now be stocking exclusively, 100% pure organic fabrics. These will all have been certified by GOTS.</span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We believe that we as a business have a responsibility to stock only organic fabric. These fabrics are all natural from GMO free seeds and healthy soils as opposed to standard fabrics which are often treated with fungicides and insecticides. The dyeing and printing is low impact using natural dyes as opposed to chlorine bleaching and high temperature dying which in turn has a damaging effect on the environment. The heavy metals in pigments run off into waterways polluting waterways. </span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Here are some more sobering facts. Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other crop in the world. These chemicals are deadly. Factory workers breathe in their fumes during manufacuring. World Health Organisation estimates 20,000 deaths are attributed to pesticides alone. In America, more than 10,000 farmers die each year from cancers related to such chemicals. </span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We can no longer support this industry.</span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We will now only be supporting companies which are eco friendly, sustainable, fair trade and produce organic textiles. </span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We still will bring you the freshest boldest prints . You can buy in the knowledge that the fabrics you are purchasing are fully organic and are fair trade. </span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Thank you for your continued support, we all can make a small difference to the world we live in</span></span><br />

This is where we will call home for a while! I have not rented since my single days, but after lots of cleaning and re-decorating, it is starting to feel like home. We were lucky to find a house semi furnished, so we just had to add the finishing touches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The area around here is gorgeous, we are only 5 minutes from Mapua, NZ, but still in the country.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for market photos soon, we are about to get creative and sell our goodies in the local area.</div>
