How do i get the wife to do some home cooking? fair enough she cooks the produce from the lottie, but get her to cook other things and you think World War 3 had broken out  ;D , plates, cups, chairs, kitchen sink gets thrown about ( i tell you she's a big woman ) and if it doesn't come in a micro wave box then forget it  :-/ . So any suggestions?

Christmas is coming, how about an interesting cookery book, (not too heavy in case she launches it back at you!)or a cookery course at your local adult education, then you could go together it may be fun! ;D DP

Don't get me wrong she can cook, but, she hates it  :( , she has more cook books than delia (i've got the scars to prove it ) she reckons i should do all the cooking  :-/ as i just sit here at work and do nothing all day but go on the web (true) well that's a perk of being the boss says i  ;D .

Ye great daft lummox!!!!  :) :) :)

Get yourself a good cook-book!!!  Get in there - I'm biased, I enjoy cooking, and trying all sorts of different stuff.

One of the things we used to fight about was which cook book belonged to whom - she got some of the real crackers when we separated :(.  Ah well - but I've still got my recipes in my head.

All best - Gavin

Jethro, get a new one?   :o

The trouble with cooking homes is that they take such a long time to get  tender and you need a very large oven ;D

Hi Gavin, i can cook myself but i'm too knackered, coming from work ,then the lottie get in the house about 8.00pm and crash on the seat  :-/ .

Hi EJ, i would but no-one will have me  :( . ah shame  ;D .

Hi Palustirs, cook on gas mark 4 for 3 years tastes lovely with mint sauce  ;D .

Hate to say it, but I have found over the years you either love to cook or you don't! I love it, him indoors doesn't! If he does actually cook, It's lots of boiling stuff, lots of swear words and lots of wine! (and that is just me watching! ;D) but have to say tho it takes him ages, and is frustrating for me to watch, but the old man can turn out a mean curry! And is is lovely once in a while to not cook!  DP

I have to agree with DP... you either love cooking or you don't!  I'm lucky as my hubby-to-be loves cooking and so do I .... so we've always got loads of home cooked nosh on the table  ;D

Ah to be married to you two women  ;D life would bve so much easier  :-/

you think so?!  one wife is probably enough for any man to cope with  ;)

you'd also end up with an ever expanding waistline with all the home cooking  :)

...and someone has to do the washing up!

Yup we have a deal in our house, whoever cooks, does NOT have to do the washing up....give me cooking any time!! DP

I love cooking and baking!  I'm afraid I am happy as the little woman!  :o  I know, equal rights and all that, but I like to do the cooking, I like a man to open a door for me, I like playing house but I HATE washing up and our dishwasher has packed up!  PAH!  New dishwasher employed, hubby! hehehehe

- you only have BOOKS thrown at you Jethro?

When I had a plate thrown at me, I ducked - hoping it would smash the window and she would be sorry.

Forgot we were in Cyprus and the windows were netted against bombs!! Tim

In Italy, we had french (? a true cosmopolitan pair, us) doors opening onto a terrace. And OH was outside & winding me up...and I lobbed a large still deep-frozen leg of NZ lamb in approximately his direction (in jocular fashion, like, you understand? ;D)...and to my absolute horror I see that it's bang-on-course...

and I shout "DUCK!!!"...and he looks up from his book, moves backwards in his chair, topples it over, goes crashing down backwards onto the concrete and, when he'd regained consciousness says..."but I thought we were having lamb??"  ;D ;D ;D

- love it! One for the books?

You see, folk - at our age - we've been through it all.

I mean, even at Lishka's age!!

And survived.  - Tim

LATER - oh, Lishka, you KNOW I meant it the right way round??

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

Quote- love it!



I mean, even at Lishka's age!!

 - Tim

Oh .......you two.......... do behave yourselves.......for goodness sake!!  ::)  ::)


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





 (  Sorry...still in " chastising 15 year olds " mode!! )
