Zero problem though - Lulu thawed out two Tri-Tips and tonights dinner was a roast with a nice italian basil/hot pepper sort of chimichurri sauce and some roasted potatoes. The beef barley soup is for the next couple of days. Just finished taking it out of the slow-cooker, portioning into some Cambros and letting them cool off before putting them into the fridge.
We have been watching the Inspector Morse mysteries - very well done.
