  • Yes indeed, the icy weather has returned and as a result, filming for Season 9 has frozen to a halt.
    Never mind, that's the perfect excuse (considering the glacial conditions) to conjure up a tasty winter warmer - CHG's Cottage Pie.

    What I love about you cooking is that it really is how most of us cook. We’re not G.R. or J.O. We do with what we have and go basic a lot of times. Simple cooking gear and not a lot of extra faff. Thanks for all of what you do.😊👍

    Bravo, cheers, and huzzah for your explanation of referring to Aslan as a person. That's the way it has been and always should be. A boat or ship that takes good care of you while you are taking care of her deserves nothing else. Treat her like an "inanimate object" and she'll quit on you when you need her most. That's from a career sailor. Welcome to the brethren CHG!

    It is quite like a shepherds pie i guess. Looks so good. Not a ton of difficult prep, pretty fast in execution, and good, simple, comfort food on a chilly day. No rules to it, throw in anything you like, lots of variations as you say. Perfect as all your cooking spots are. 11:30 am here in Vegas, i am going to rummage around the pantry and freezer's here shortly. I have potatoes, carrots, onions, no turkey burger or mince as you brit's call it, but i have some hamburger or beef mince i guess, no oxocubes, but i have some beef boullion in powder form, and it's only warmed up to 50F here today. I have similar weather and all the fixin's.
    Guess what i am conjuring for dinner tonight? Thanks for that inspiration Kevin!😀

    Thanks for sharing your fine recipe I will definitely need to try this. My boat (Allegro) has a soul too and she is a fine companion.

    Currently backpacking Costa Rica. Sat in my boxer shorts sweating watching on some dodgy WiFi. Looking forward to the series. Cheers Kev

      Sounds perfect and on the occasions you do find wifi or a usable signal, it's like stumbling upon an oasis. 🙂

    Another fine episode. On your recommendation I bought my wife some Yorkshire tea. She likes it. Thanks for the suggestion.❤
