It's been a while since I had a food-related thing, so I thought I would give one a try today. I have always wanted to try Sloppy Joes - random meat on a bun [and possibly with cheese?] - how could it go wrong? Well, and then I became vegetarian, so I guess that's where it goes pear shaped. I never got to try them [also I've never tried a Big Mac, a proper steak or dark meat on poultry in addition to a number of other more obscure meats].
Until now! I found a recipe in one of my slow cooker cookbooks [yes, I have more than one] for vegetarian Sloppy Joes - which I guess should be called Tidy Josephines [not sure what the opposite of Joe is - I mean, it might be Shelby, but the thought of combining the words tidy and Shelby just didn't jive]. So, after being slow cooked for over 5 hours I was ready - I made vegetarian Sloppy Joes [Tidy Josephines]. Joseph thought I made them wrong as I made them open-faced style [which is what the book told me to do - obey the rules, dude!], rather than closed up like a hamburger. The experience was...okay...a bit of a letdown, to be honest and I don't think it was because of lack of meat. I found the spices to be an odd mix and I think the buns went a little off. Not likely to be repeated, although I still love my slow cooker.
Seriously - buy a slow cooker. They are very old lady, but they won't let you down. You can finish washing up before dinner is even ready!
