Got anything good?

Hey. This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Good morning, producer Rio. Good morning.

Alex Cullen. Good morning. Alex Conning, good morning.

Patsey.

Hello, boys.

How was your day yesterday, Patz?

Oh, not so good.

I, you know, I was talking on air the other day about how magnificent my chili concan was.

Oh, yeah.

Anyway, I thought, I'm going to make it again because a family, you know, there's so much reward when you slave away in the kitchen all day and they actually enjoy what you cook. It gives me all the good feels. So I thought, I'm going to make it again. And also, do you know what, Pat, you know what it's like? You're busy. You've got, you know, you're in your husband. You've got a kid. You've got a teenager. you only need, you just need to recycle your greatest hits, don't you? Because it's one of the most boring things

about being grown up.

Yes. you're a teenager. You only need, you just need to recycle your greatest hits, don't you? Because it's one of the most boring things about being grown up. It's a concert night, oh my God, what are we going to do for dinner tonight? You know, it's constant. And so you just need, I think you just need three to five dishes that you just keep, run it light and over, run a radio station. They've only got Besserman, They've only got one great hit CD. They just keep playing it. Every two hours. Oh, is this one again? God of hell they really like their cheering. Do your home meals like that if you've got a family, okay? Well, I'm a bit of a one-trick pony, so mine is Chili Concarn, so I thought I'll make it yesterday. And I do it in the slow cooker. It goes across six, seven hours. It's magnificent. So you're not really slaving in the kitchen.

The slow cooker. It goes across six, seven hours. It's magnificent. So you're not really slaving in the kitchen. The slow cooker does work. I said, I love that slow cooker, right? Become a recent convert to it. You chuck it all in and then you, yay, you fix this. I'm coming back in it in eight hours and this better be bloody nice. But it's like when your meals at a spa, you have to treat it well. You have to

every now and again, just give it a little massage, give it a stir. All you do is you stir it and you do a little taste. You dunk some bread in it. That's it. Speak to it nicely saying, oh, aren't you doing a good job there? I rub my slow cooker like it's a genie.

Please work your magic.

Are you doing well? Anyway, so I thought I'd get really clever and that's where I went wrong yesterday. So as I was making the tomato mix, so you put the mince in the big pot of the slow

cooker and then you put this, you know, you put all your herbs and spices yaddada, with your kidney beans and stuff. And I thought, I'll put it into the magic bullet and really mix it well. What, like blend it? Like baby fruit. Yeah. I'll be like a puree. Yeah, so it's all nice and mushy. Oh, well, I thought I would. You ever had a puree of kidney beans? It's like a smoothie. It's just someone in hospital who can't operate their jaw. Or maybe it's been intubated.

It's like a smoothie. It's just someone in hospital who can't operate their jaw or maybe it's been intubated. It's really quite sort of melded in. Especially in a slow cooker all day. I just thought I'll mix it in really well. It's like baby food for a teenager. Anyway, you have to add just like three quarters of a cup of hot water and that's where I went wrong because because it was hot because

the contents were hot in the magic bullet after they're done there mixing and stuff I couldn't

get the lid off because it created like this suction from the warmth.
