Tonight it is slow cooker beef casserole/stew because the oven element went bang in the middle of cooking dinner last night. Thank goodness for microwaves. I was going to make dumplings with the stew - I adore dumplings - but P is on a 'diet' to loose a few pounds, so its boiled potatoes and veg

I might sneak in a dumpling just for me, but hey I need to loose those few pounds too. It all depends whether the guilt kicks in.
