A thread for those 'I wish I'd known x thirty years ago' thoughts. Such as...

The secret to most sloppy mince recipes, like shepherd's pie, bolognese sauce or chilli con carne, is long, slow cooking. Three hours or so, at the gentlest simmer you can get, covered at first, then uncovered later if it's still a bit runny. But it's the time that matters. You *can* do it in half an hour, but if you want tender meat and rich, blended flavours, three hours, minimum.

I use a slow cooker so that I can leave it gently cooking away and I can go out without the worry that Billy-Whizz, our Greyhound, will steal the contents.

I wish, that 30 years ago I knew that moving every so often and living all over the world, would bring me right back to home again. Its true, there is no place like home
