Oh


We ALL know you're old enough to know better..

So old, all I ever knew I've forgotten ::)..

Jethro, tho! Why ever should your wife reproduce a meal which can be bought in a s'market at a good price and little cost in time/effort to herself if she doesn't want to??   'sides... she's probably so busy ironing a crease down the front of your socks she ain't got time for all that cooking malarky. ;D ;D ;D

Sounds familiar Lishka!! I'm getting there .......far too quickly!! ::)  ::)

[campanula]

jethro, if someone is not that keen on cooking, meals from them are likely to be tainted with bitterness and anger - i know as many of my efforts, prepared in a sulk, are downright inedible - you are just gonna have to do it yourself and find a trade off somewhere else in the endless domestic saga of family life.

Never mind the breadknife doing the cooking Jethro, get yourself a slow cooker and let that do it for you while your doing other stuff.  Heres a  recipe to start you off.

3lb of chopped beef
3 medium onions ( Chopped up )
1lb of diced potatoes
1 tin of Mackeson.

Throw it all in the slow cooker on low for 5 to 6 hours and serve with a selection of veg. Delicious

It will feed about 6 people or 1 for a week.

I agree I wouldn't be without my slow cooker but 1 question. What is Mackeson

Bottled, sweeter version of Guiness, Miss B  :)

The above recipe with Ox-Tail instead of chopped Beef ,Neck end of Laamb or any other of the cheaper cuts of meat are ideal for the slow cooker.

Me?
I LUUUURV to cook... but hate housework and especially
ironing with a passion. :P
Hubby half-jokingly says I've taken on a lottie so I have less time for housework. Oooeerr! didn't know he was telepathic !!!!   :-/
Can't wait to get down the lottie but foolishly started a uni course in Sept, so have assignments to do( on top of everything else)  :-[
Me finks I am a mad old bat for taking on too much but will NOT let things get in way of my "Lottie time". ;D  ;D

P.S. Tim - Will definitely be trying the soup it sounds fab.

Re above post.....

Have now sat at computer for 2 hours and haven't done any housework!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better do some, or washing will be walking downstairs to the machine all by itself!!! . ;D  ;D  ;D   ;D   ;D   ;D

My Aunt used to tell a tale of a woman that killed her hubby by bludgeoning him to death with a frozen leg of lamb, then cooked it, and served the evidence to the investigating police officers in sandwich form!..................Hmmmmmmmmmmm   ;D

I remember reading that - Roald Dahl wrote it. I read it in a collection of short stories along with the one about long pig...

Hmmm! Intelligent washing  ???  Where do you get that ?  ;D

All I can cook is meat (in the oven for 1/2 hour) eg chicken leg, chop and potatoes and boiled veg. I don't need a cook ery book, just ways to liven up what I do already (eg what is marinading meat, what's a white sauce? max preparation time 10 mins.)  :D I can cook a caserole with a oxo cube!

[waggi]

I HATE cooking - everything about it
I WONT do the ironing  - if anyone wants anything ironed i will show them where the iron is - my hubby was in the forces he can iron
life is just to short to stand ironing shirts
i run the hoover around about once a week the washer is on everyday it just gets chucked out onto the line or into the tumble dryer and put away woooooo
dusting gets done if anyone is coming round

as i said life is just to short why do house work

[simon404]

Aha!  :) Have discovered Recipes 4 All  :)

[BAGGY]

Waggi.  I agree with you on the ironing front.  It suck.  The only thing I ever iron is my scout shirt for rememberence day parade.  All other times I go creased.  I dont mid cooking bu I have to be in the mood.  I'd rather cook stuff than buy it coz shop bought is generally naff.  Unless I'm  shopping at the wrong places.

[wardy]

Jethro sounds like you're  gonna have to learn to cook.  There's nothing else to be done or you'll have to keep eating stuff out of boxes.  The solution is in your hands  ;D
