Unexpected Groceries

Occasionally Woolies online get confused and we end up with someone else's groceries. One time we ended up with a bag of 4 different types of frozen potato- including mashed!

A couple of weeks ago we discovered a bag of meat we hadn't ordered, there was steak, pork sausages with ginger and shallots and 2kg of chicken necks. It was pretty obvious what to do with the steak and sausages but chicken necks?

I got out my slow cooker, added some potato, carrot, garlic, onion, chives, peppercorn and salt and let it simmer on low for most of the day. The result? Yummy home made chicken stock.

I didn't stop there, I then fried an onion and some chopped up leak, added 2 cups of stock some chopped potato and corn and let it simmer on the stove.

Aston and I peeled the sausages and rolled the meat into balls which we then added to the soup to cook.

It looks a bit average but it was really yummy! Aston even asked for seconds!
