We've had raclette twice this fall. So far. To make it, you need a raclette machine and some raclette cheese. There's a heating element under the griddle. You put a slice of cheese in the little tray and slip it under the element to melt it. While it's melting, you grill some meat and vegetables that you've prepared in advance. When they're done, they go onto your plate, then you pour the melted cheese over all. Yum! There's no limit to what you can grill. Anything that goes with cheese goes with raclette.
Clockwise from the wine bottle: raclette cheese, melting trays, sliced mushrooms, sliced steamed Brussels sprouts, cured ham, sliced chorizo sausage, more melting trays, pickles (not for grilling), sliced steamed potatoes. In the center is the raclette machine.
It's windy, but warmer, this morning. No rain in the forecast. I think that I'm going to remove the riding mower's battery for the season today. I don't want a repeat of last year's bungle with the mower's battery. Less stress!
Top tips from "Beenthere-Dunthat"
ReplyDeleteCharge the battery fully when you have removed it and again at the end of January [shouldn't need much].... bring right indoors if it goes below -5° Centipede for a day
And don't forget to empty the fuel tank.... petrol splits if left standing in winter [another "failure to start" problem]
Start the new season with new petrol** and a freshly charged battery.
**Empty anything that's left in your can into the car [presuming your ride on is 4-stroke]
