Sausages - found 6 lurking in the freezer.   Hate cooking them.  Whats the best way, so that either the oven isn't filthy and smelly, or the hob and floor splashed all over.

I use a frying pan with a lid (as I do for anything that might sizzle and spit excessively.) If you tilt the lid it keeps any mess inside but still fries rather than steams the food (cooks faster than with no lid too.)  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

After all the talk of lamb I've been forced into defrosting some lamb shoulder steaks. I'd originally bought them to do lamb tagine but I think Id rather put them with gravy, mash and veg. Not sure if I should put them in the slow cooker on low now or on high later..  :unsure:

I'd say low now with some root veg and stock to make fall off the bone lamb and gravy.  I always think shoulder meat benefits from slow gentle cooking.

I've been pondering the mac and cheese link you posted.  The kinchee one intrigues me as I have a hm batch in the fridge. but I've just seen a recipe for kimchee fried rice with a fried egg on top.  Tough decisions to make  :nowink:  :lol:

I like to grill sausages and being a bit sad use a timer... 5 mins for side 1, 4 for the opposite side, 2 mins for a side and 1 minute then switch off the grill but leave for another minute for the opposite site. Timings spot on for our grill!
If frying I also use a saucepan lid on the frypan to stop splashing and it helps cook things through. Good for fried eggs too as the top of the egg cooks in the steam if the lid is on tight.

I went the other way -It's still chewy  :( I'll be resorting to plan B again.

The kinchee one intrigues me as I have a hm batch in the fridge.

I'd read your thread and thought that might catch your eye  ;) You know my answer is always both when give a choice  :D  :tongue2:

I use a splatter guard for anything that might spit fat, both at home and in our campervan.  Keeps everything clean and lets the steam out.  This sort of thing https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000TAULZU/ref=psdc_3000276031_t2_B000SIU9J6 although I think mine came from the local market!

Tonight is a soup night - celery, tomato and beetroot, with rye rolls for OH.  Should be a pretty colour!

We had lamb tonight - Texel from our fields. Hope it was the little bee who ate one of my heritage apple trees! Plus sweetcorn and French beans with roast potatoes - all our own. Also had redcurrant jelly but finished off the store bought jar first. Val made redcurrant jelly this afternoon from our redcurrants.

Haha little B. Try gooseberry & mint jelly to go with any lamb, totally lush.

It's the circle of life  :D I feel the same about the tree rats who eat my apples, sooner or later it's going to end badly for them. 

Deconstructed cottage pie tonight, ginger cake and custard for afters  :tongue2:

I had plot beans, onions, garlic, potatoes, tomatoes and marrowfat peas - put them all in a saucepan with a few lamb meatballs and some red lentils - made a lovely thick soup/stew. Enough left for a few lunches as well, to go in the freezer  :)

It's miserable weather and Val's been making chutney so not feeling like much more cooking which is great as we settled on sausage, egg, chips and baked beans. Our eggs and chips but beans by Heinz :)
