Slow cooker (crock-pot) spiced bacon/gammon. This is going to be the basis of a number of dishes for the Cookingbites Recipe Challenge: Bacon.

Ingredients (minus the bacon):

2 pieces of bread with sausages and mustard n onions with ketchup. Bought at a local store. It's a big store and people fundraiser at the front of the shop selling bread and sausys. Real good.

Last night, after a few glasses of wine I managed to knock up a killer sauce to go with some chicken breasts that had been cooked sous vide (4 hours @ 63.5 deg C - perfectly succulent). Unfortunately, I didn't take photos, or write down exactly how I did it, but it started off with lightly fried shallots, chicken stock, Dijon mustard and carob syrup, thickened with cream and the juice of half a lemon to sharpen it up a bit. I am under instruction to make it again, so next time will record it, as it really was very good indeed. I suspect it might also work with steak.

Sounds good - carob syrup is unusual.
 
I've been away for a week, eating out three times every day . This was last Sunday night's meal, kitchen and scenery.

The kitchen has been upgraded. It's now on a table,

And the scenery has also been upgraded, but we lacked the lighting arrangements, so petzels (original brand of headtorch) had to come out soon after these pictures were taken.
