Ep 73 - 'Hags, Crones, Witches & Mothers-In-Law' with Jane Caro

Join Caroline Wilson, Corrie Perkin and special guest Jane Caro for Episode 73 – ‘Hags, Crones, Witches & Mothers-In-Law'.

Caro, Corrie and Jane deep dive into some of the issues addressed in Jane’s wonderful new book Accidental Feminists (available HERE) including the spectre of poverty and homelessness confronting older women, the myth of work-life balance and our attitudes towards women in power.

Caro admits to failing her ‘Goal of the Month’ challenge while Corrie’s making a last ditch effort to achieve hers, we discuss the validity of the Ipsos Poll on the Medivac Bill and find out why Jane decided not to take on Tony Abbott in the next election.

Caro’s ‘Crush of the Week’ is Jack Thompson.  In ‘BSF’ we've been watching Mrs Wilson on the ABC and making the most of a glut of tomatoes.  Jane’s grumpy about being stood up by not one but three Uber drivers and taxis in Melbourne.

In ‘6 Quick Questions’ Caro’s dislike for TV Show Married At First Sight  intensifies, we delve into ‘Operation Castle Dove’ and the fate of Melbourne University Publishing – plus Corrie has a ‘GLT’ for anyone needing a little more style in their life.

Caro’s Slow Cooked Tomatoes (from Jo Mc Dougal from Ep 73) 

Pre heat your oven to 120C.

Use any ripe tomatoes (but Caro prefers the Roma variety).

Cut tomatoes in in half.

Put them onto a baking tray.

Pour on to the tomatoes a tiny bit of Sweet Chilli Sauce (perhaps a ¼ of a teaspoon on each tomato half).

Slow cook for an hour and a half (at 120c).

After they’ve cooked for an hour and a half, put on a dollop of fetta or Meredith Goats Cheese on each half (or whatever soft fetta or goats cheese you have in the fridge).

Also pop on half a leaf of basil.

Put them in the oven for another half an hour (so two hours slow cooking in total).

Serve as a bar snack or as a side to your favourite dishes.
