johnny boy68 11,726 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I don't do all the cooking but I do cook, will try my hand at anything. I'm doing keema naan's and a curry today, I've always cooked but lately I've grown real fond of it and I do get complimented on it so must be doing something right or don't want to hurt my feelings. I want to do a bit more baking, when my mother was alive there was always something being baked on the big rayburn. The kitchen was always the hub of the house 5 kids coming and going all day and grabbing welsh cakes, custard slices etc. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 My fella cooks about twice a week and occasionally bakes bread, since my mum left my dad loves cooking and bakes really nice cakes as a bit of a hobby for himself 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Made them a few times myself, they don't last long! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 9,916 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 My missus gets home from work about half 5 and I dont get in until gone 7, but shes quite lazy and spends most of the time on the sofa watching telly - so I usually end up doing the cooking (and washing up) (and cleaning.. lol). One of my best buys was a slow cooker from Tescos for a tenner the other year - i bung all sorts in that - curry, stew, rabbit, gammon, beef, anything really - leave it on 6 or 7 hours and hey presto instant dinner. Also love doing pies, spag bols, chilli, shepherds pie, lasagne. Find it all really easy to do and every now and then I try a new recipe from the old cook book - makes it fun. Unfortunately the missus isnt a fan of game else id be cooking more rabbit & pigeon, but still have it every now & then when shes not about. 1st thing sort your mrs out, your both working tell her to help or no dinner . i am at home all day finished work at the moment (60) , i can cook from easy quick food to a full sunday dinner no prob . we take turns at cooking today nice steak dinner, jacket spuds +veg ( sweet ) apple pie + custard and nice cuppa , her turn thursday ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
