And so it begins. The batch cooking extravaganza. The slow cooker came out yesterday and I made my first batch of vegetable soup. Blended it today and boxed up for the freezer. It was actually six soups. But that wasn’t the Victoria Wood sketch. That was two soups.

For some people, this isn’t a big deal. But for the culinarily challenged Pip, this is. I chopped things without injury. I didn’t burn the house down. And I only got one steam burn from opening the slow cooker a bit too quickly.

This was a big win for me today. On the downside, I ran out of toilet rolls. And no, they’re not connected. 😉
