I didnt factor in how cold the carrot and potato would be in reducing the temp so I've cranked it to high just before i put the veg in. I might just leave it on high and see how we go.
One of my new favorite cooking techniques is to brown the chicken thigh first before slow cooking (as discovered doing the apricot chicken a few weeks back). Trying it with Japanese curry tonight. Recipe I read said 6 hours on low, but you wouldn't do the apple/potato/carrot that long would you? I was thinking 3-4 hours max.
I was chatting to someone the other day and they go "i'm no good with computers!" and I was like "huh. looks like you got an iphone there champ" and they go "oh yeah I can use an iphone just fine". Ok so its not that your no good with computers its that you dont want to be.
Cheers for the advice on the second hand backpack. Got a bellroy classic in near new nick for 85 bucks, normally 220. No shame in jumping in at that price point.
whats everyone running around with for a backpack? I've got a cheapy dell from ozbargain which isnt bad, but its pretty big and heavy for not great storage options and its a bit ostentatious. Eyeing off a Status Anxiety "Good Kid" and a Bellroy Classic.
Yeah I'm doing granny smith. Might just give it 4 hours instead of the 6.
